Green Industry Podcast · Know Your Numbers: Calculating Your Man-Hour Rate for Lawn Care Profit · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

So if you can hear me and see me, we'll count that as a victory today.

Now.

Mulch, let's say you're paying $35 a yard.

You, you're paying the mulch supplier just to buy the mulch.

And then they're going to charge you a delivery fee to deliver it.

But you can negotiate that if you're buying like a lot of mulch.

So how do you price that?

Well, if you're a rookie, like you're in your rookie season,

What they taught me when I was an infant in the industry is you, rule of thumb is you can multiply it by three, and that should get you in the ballpark.

So the material cost for mulch, hypothetically, let's say it's $35 for one yard of mulch.

You can multiply that by three.

So...

That would be $105.

I think, yeah, $105.

So you could charge $105 per yard of mulch installed.

Now, that's just the multiplying of three.

Not every company does it that way.

A lot of them actually...

have a lot more thorough calculations to it than that.

But if you're just starting out, that could be a rule of thumb that you could consider that should get you profitable.
