The Real Cost of Maintaining Your Own Lawn

Do you maintain your own lawn? Have you ever thought about how much it really costs you to do it yourself? Gas prices, lawn equipment purchase and maintenance, as well as your time and energy. It all adds up!

Gas prices in SW Florida are averaging 3.370 per gallon, and most lawn tractors hold about 4 gallons of gas. So, depending on the size of your lawn, it could cost you up to 13.48 to mow it each week! Not to mention the gas you use to drive to the gas station and fill up your 5 gallon containers!

Lawn tractors can set you back an average of 1500. If you pay cash for your mower, you could come out ahead after about 2 years. However, if you charge it, the interest could spread those payments out over 5 years! Keep in mind that is ignoring maintenance, time spent mowing, and gas! Don't forget that you also have to house it, and when you think about real estate costs you begin to realize that floor space (even in a garage) isn’t free.

At ProMo Lawn Care, we’ve done the math. After buying your own equipment and mowing and maintaining your own lawn, you save about $13 every time you cut, trim, edge and blow your own yard. If that takes you 2.5 hours, you’re making less than $5 an hour. Isn’t your relaxation and down time worth more than that? Sell your lawn equipment, clear up all that space and let us make your lawn beautiful! Our lawn service prices make doing it yourself a waste of your valuable time.
