Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate the cost per square foot, divide your total job price by the square footage of the lawn. For example, if you charge $125 for a 5000 sq ft lawn, the cost is $0.025 per sq ft. For larger lawns, some contractors charge around $8–$10 per 1000 sq ft.
While specific profit margins aren't detailed, contractors often find "the real money is up selling seed and fert" alongside aeration, indicating that the add-on services significantly boost profitability beyond the base aeration cost.
Core aeration is the most common and what most pricing reflects. If you offer a different, more intensive or specialized aeration method, you would typically charge more to cover the additional equipment, time, and expertise required.
It's advisable to review your pricing annually or semi-annually, taking into account changes in fuel costs, labor rates, equipment maintenance, and local market demand. Regular adjustments ensure you remain competitive and profitable.
