Building a home internet business takes time, commitment and patience hence the reason we so often hear how important it is to have a very strong reason why or a burning desire that will spur us on through thick and thin in order to succeed.

When you are first starting your lawn care business, how do you find how much you should charge to mow a lawn? This is a question that was recently asked to us on the Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum. Here are a few ideas.

There is a good chance another lawn care business owner in the area can give you the going rate. You may also want to ask yourself, do you have any friends in the business? If so, ask them what they charge per lawn.
