FREE Job Pricing Guides
Nilsson's FREE Job Pricing Guides makes pricing faster, easier, more accurate for lawn care, grounds maintenance, mowing, and landscape installation projects. The Price List serves as a price reference tool when you're not sure what to charge, and as a valuable resource to compare your prices with landscape industry averages. Before making your final pricing decision, you'll have a reliable source to double check your price. The FREE Job Pricing Guidelines are published by Nilsson Associates, Green Industry Consultants. The Job Pricing Guides shows current prices. You'll get prices for hundreds of jobs in use by professional landscapers, lawn care, LCO's, green industry contractors for job pricing information, job estimating, job cost, grounds maintenance budgets, work proposals for lawn, landscape installations, grounds maintenance, snow removal, pavement services, tree care, and hardscaping jobs from around the United States. The prices are compiled and updated from Contractor's Price Surveys from all states in the U.S.
According to Nilsson Associates, new start up Lawn & Landscape businesses and industry veterans alike, sometimes lose sight of competitive pricing levels. Some haven't raised their prices for fear of losing customers, and aren't sure how much to increase prices when they do. In addition, those just starting out in the business have no pricing experience, and have no idea what to charge to make a profit, survive, and stay in business. Some unknowingly price too low and don't make enough money, or price too high, and end up without enough customers. The Job Price Guides also help contractors from being lured into matching other contractor's lowball prices that don't cover costs, and have no profit potential. Use the Price Guides to avoid pricing too low ... avoid pricing too high, so you can remain profitable. The Guides outline individual line item prices, job criteria, work descriptions, quantities, price ranges, averages, and shows prices being charged for the job categories below:
