How a property-care estimate is worked out
The useful question is what the agreed price covers. Lawn visits, a cleanup and seasonal snow clearing use different pricing approaches, so start with the scope for your property.
Three ways the work can be priced
| Work | How the price is expressed | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Cleanups | $150/hour for a two-person crew | Estimated time, priority areas, waste handling and additional tasks. |
| Lawn mowing | From $79/weekly visit or $115/biweekly visit | The lawn areas, current condition, access and agreed frequency. |
| Seasonal snow removal | From $1,650/season for the standard 2-inch trigger | Clearing areas, access, trigger, salting and the seasonal agreement. |
Read the unit as well as the number
A crew-hour is one hour of work by the stated crew, not a separate hourly charge for each person. A per-visit mowing price is not a monthly total. A seasonal snow price is tied to the scope and terms of the agreed seasonal service.
Starting prices are not a firm quote for every address. A large area, restricted access, accumulated growth or several separate work zones can change the work involved.
Name the work that belongs in the estimate
List the lawn, beds, paths, driveway, steps or other areas you want included. Say what should remain untouched. If you want several services, name each rather than assuming one service includes the others.
Materials, waste disposal and extra work should be clear in the agreed scope. Tell us whether yard waste should remain bagged at the property or whether you want removal assessed.
Explain the details that change the job
Photos help us understand those details. They do not turn an uncertain scope into a guaranteed completion time. We may need follow-up information before confirming the work.
- Current condition: recent upkeep, leaf buildup or established overgrowth.
- Area: front, back and any separate sections.
- Access: gates, steps, narrow passages and long carrying routes.
- Materials and waste preferences.
- The result you want and any priorities or budget limit.
An enquiry starts the discussion
Sending the form requests an estimate. We review the property information, clarify the work and agree the scope and pricing before scheduling. If a site visit is needed, it can be arranged.
Keep property-specific quotes with the address they apply to. A different property or revised scope may need a different estimate. Payment details belong in the agreed quote or seasonal terms.
