How to price Manual Quotes like a Pro

Pricing a service you don’t perform every day can feel tricky—but you’re not on your own. 💪 We’ve put together updated pricing guides to give you ballpark ranges for many of the non-mowing services you might be quoting.

Even better? Some now include city-specific data across different regions of the U.S. While this is just the starting point, it provides a solid foundation to help you feel more confident quoting like a Pro.

And if you ever need extra guidance, Pro Support can help check if we have internal pricing ranges for the specific service you’re quoting.

🧰 Other Services

We hope these pricing guides give you a helpful starting point when quoting services outside your usual routine. Even if the ranges are broad (yes, some extremely wide ballpark ranges), for lawn care, landscaping, tree care, and other outdoor services. And remember—Pro Support is always here if you need more localized insights.

What’s the goal? Speedier, more accurate quotes—especially on the lower end of national average prices—will likely land you the work and a bigger paycheck sooner.
You’ve got this, and we appreciate everything you do to deliver top-quality service to LawnStarter customers! 💪🌱
