How to set pricing for a growing lawn care business with employees?

Question

Hey all, I have been growing my lawn business fast, and there's so much to still learn. Right now, we are trying to establish our pricing to use along with Jobber. What's the best way to start going about getting these together? It's such a difficult and large task, I'd love some input from other lawn businesses.

We own some of our equipment, we have some financed, and I have 4 workers, & 1 in the office.

So it definitely gets complicated.

If you know your hourly charge rate, and how long different tasks take - I would basically brain dump the things you would charge for and how long they take in to Chat GPT. Have it write out the complete line items with titles and how much to charge. You can do this by talking in to chat GPT so that would take less time. Review it once it spits it out and verbally tell it what to change. Then either enter it yourself or do a couple on loom and hire a VA to do them. My advise is enter the line items with pictures.

Then as you are bidding out jobs, if you see stuff missing make a note of it somewhere then add those line items all at once.

Also this is a big task so just start it somewhere. If you mess it up, you can always fix it!
