Does anyone know what the going rate is for a neighborhood kid to cut the grass is these days?

Posted by sycor Jun 1 '15, 08:16

It's not a huge lot, and not a lot of grass. The back "yard" is all natural with pine needles so it's really just the front and sides. And the front has a huge natural area too.

I'd offer a kid $20. The student we use from time to time that has a business doing it gets $35 (more if he bags it) -- nm - oblique Jun 1, 08:36
Ok thanks! Hopefully I'll be able to get my lawn mower from my parents soon. I don't mind doing it myself, just don't have a mower at the moment. -- nm - sycor Jun 1, 08:19
$20 here -- nm - CQ Jun 1, 08:17
Here? $25-30. -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 08:16 5
- this is so crazy to me. I paid $50 in allentown in 2007, and my lot was 33 x 120. - amanda Jun 1, 08:33 1
  - Yeah. And look at the rest of the responses. $15 barely covers gas! -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 08:35
- I pay 20 to a professional landscaper to cut mine, and it is a large lot. - groiny Jun 1, 08:18 2
  - The pros charge $35 for ours. Price depends not so much on size as it does on obstacles. -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 08:20 1
    - $ 35 for us - we pay cash - the guy keeps track. I think he doesn't charge us properly sometimes *shrug* -- nm - Pippy the Low Sparrow Jun 1, 08:55
15 bucks. -- nm - groiny Jun 1, 08:16
