Question by treehuggersgarden: What’s a good price for lawn aeration/thatching?
I started a lawn service a year or so ago, and am looking into doing aerations and thatchings in the fall. My average lawn size is 6,000 SqFt, and I’ll be renting the machines.

For here (Denver) a normal price for aeration $ 40.00 plus,as for power raking I get “time on job” @ $ 35.00 an hour.
For 6,000 sq ft I would charge somewhere in the vicinity.
1) $ 100.00 (aeration)
2) $ 125.00 (power raking)
3) $ 25.00 a man hour for clean up.IE 3 men @ $ 25.00 X 3 hours = $ 75.00.
Keep in mind I’m supporting a family,paying Lib. Ins. and the awful price of gas.I pay just $ 7,000.00 just to dig dirt and another $ 4,000.00 Lib. Ins. beyond that.These prices are of course passed along to the end user.
There are so many times I get caught in the thought it should only cost this and end up losing money.Remember it’s the end product that counts.If I could have seen the future a few years back I would have doubled my prices then.
To coin a phrase “it is what it is”
Sorry,My Best
