Pricing tips for week after a rainout.
Curious how anyone handles yards after a week where it rains non stop to where I cannot mow with drastic grass growth.
Now this week the jobs take a lot longer and wet clumps into early afternoon to deal with to get looking great after the grass shot up.
Currently bagging and hauling away clippings because my customers usually don’t prefer a deck length of 3.5 to 4 ( I usually mow at a 3 or 3.25). Only other option to save my hourly rate would be to mow higher and worry about getting it down to normal next week.
My current price is per mow. And charge seperate for any weed control in the beds. Seperate pruning cost and clean up costs etc. so no packages and it’s been working for us. I will be raising prices next year so wondering if I should add a bi weekly price for weeks like this even though it’s out of mine and customers control.
I typically do not do biweekly mowing. But customers like not being charged if I decide to skip in hot summer months.
Additional bonus on your experience if you raised prices how your customers react / what % stayed.
Thanks in advance.
