I am mowing a lawn for a lady who is going away to China for a year. She will be gone from the middle of August to the end of July, so about 50 weeks. I am mowing a 1/2 acre lawn with a push mower. I will mow it once a week. How much should I charge per week?

Answer
for a half acre i usually charge anywhere from 25 to 35 dollars depending on the amount of trimming that has to be done.........i mow, trim, then blow off any walkways

I have a average weed eater pushing lawn mower and someone want's me to mow their 2 acres of land.
I have read around and it was said most push lawn mowers hold about a gallon or so.
I was wondering about how many times " roughly " would you expect to fill up while mowing the lawn?

Answer
2 acres with a push lawn mower? I cut that much lawn with a riding tractor and dont like to do it...most push lawn mowers dont hold a gallon of gas...maybe 1/4 gallon tops...so maybe 2-3 fill ups would do it...
