Brian’s lawn maintenance included snow removal, talk about a company that can do it all! Love it!

[@brasha78]

It’s kind of a nobrainer though. If your running equipment in the winter, what are you going to do when the snow stops flying. Where are your employees going to go if you’re running more properties than you personally could handle and you have employees. Well you’re going to move right into lawn care because if you mow the snow in the winter, you mow the grass in the summer. Along with that goes sprinklers, landscaping, aeration, if you have the skills and the equipment to handle it. Many landscaping companies are the only go to for snow removal. And yes you are right, Brian’s Lawn Maintenance is pretty rad from what I can tell. Got to love this treasure trove of a video.

[@brianroth-p6o]

In Denver we charge $155HR for Plowing, $115 HR ATV, $65HR Shovel, $49 Per 50LB BaG OF Ice Melt. Run 5 Trucks, 2 ATVs, 12 Shovelers, Normally 100 - Bags of Ice Melt per event. Normally Average billing $20K per event. My true cost per event with no overhead is $4K. We run for about 12Hrs - 16Hrs per 4"-6" snow. I feel you want to have at least 50%-60% Gross Profit Margin (Prefer 75%), if you even want to attempt to get into commercial plowing.

[@ThompsonJosh98]

What Yall run for atv’s? People down frown on yo showing up with atvs? Or are you referring to side by sides

[@lfod79]

So if im doing the math correctly; If your basing your $245 price on 1 acre of plow surface, that would equate to $0.0056/ sq. ft. So for a smaller lot, i.e. 6,500 sq. ft., would equate to roughly $36.00/push. Do you have an equation / calculation you use for smaller lots under 1 acre? Thanks!

[@jaimeallison5249]

Industry standards is not breaking the law or communism. Ever call an electrician plumber glazier. They have industry standards. Their prices are not the exact same but are relatively close. If using a loose industry standard your business may be higher or lower depending on the services you include and the client needs. I’m so glad you guys are accepting of this happening in every other business or service just not for lawncare

[@billhull6842]

Brian, I do residential snow removal. Mainly my mowing customers. The last 2 years I have found that the Stihl 800 backpack blower has been a great way to clear snow. When the snow is not super heavy the blower can clean up the snow without any issues. And even if it is somewhat heavy the blower does wonders. It might take a few extra minutes but the amount of pain it saves you is worth it. Also, Blake from B & B did a video on using a blower on snow.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Love that idea!

[@jimh.412]

My head is spinning from all these numbers! 😵‍💫

[@danceufo9256]

One way that I've figured out to combat competitive price wars; whenever people seem to want a lower price, simply refer them to get another estimate from a company that you know is more expensive. Then it helps to uphold pricing in your community. Generally speaking if enough people in a community are willing to pay good money, then there will be more than enough work to go around. If everyone gets competitive then everyone loses because then you need a thousand jobs to get a reasonable paycheck which isn't so reasonable when you consider what you go through and subject yourself to in order to get it. At the end of the day as entrepreneurs we shouldn't be trying to be competitive. We should be making profits. In my area landscapers always smile and wave to each other and there is a commaradery. This is because enough landscapers here agree to have similar policies in one way or another and refusing to be too cheap. We help each other to hold up market prices

[@benbollman2853]

Maybe I heard wrong but what size of parking lot is it that you charge $240 for a base price?

[@Alex.AL_26]

Excellent video! Just to make sure I understand the $245 for plowing is only up to 3 inches in this example. So say you get an 8 inch event it would be $345 multiplied by the 15 visits for a $5175 plowing total for that winter?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

An 8” event would fall under our 6.1-10” tier. So that would be $550 I believe on our contact, I’d have to look. Or, depending how you did the scrape, maybe two visits, a 1.5-3” charge and another 3.1-5” charge, if that makes sense.

[@brasha78]

After watching this for the second time through mostly because I was painting my trailer the first time, I love the concept of your pricing business model. I appreciate all the information but I’m kind of stumped with the average situation because just like some of the other Midwest states and north east areas last winter was a doozy. I live out in Utah, and we saw one of the craziest winters ever, I remember shoveling snow late into early April. And not just a little bit of snow a lot we had some 20 to 30 inch dumps. So with that said, and considering the infrequency of Weather over the past three years, how do you leave an ample buffer and how do you approach making bids for upcoming commercial contracts? This answer could be simply do it off of the 20 year average and everything after that is per push. I’m just not sure if the billing and pricing here in Utah is similar to the formula that you are using so I’m gonna have to do a little bit of research. Ultimately, I am not set up for a commercial operation though I have made a connection with a homeowners association small private community with approximately 40 houses in a circle and I did driveways last year and made great connections see a potential to utilize that network in and cultivate a business relationship. I am opening up a handyman business, and my concept is to dedicate my resources to this one neighborhood and general area because it’s isolated and In need of people to do some work for this area. Like fixing many different things paint drywall small electric work outside landscaping but I have a bug inside me that loves snow by the feet and I enjoy clearing it. I actually like being out in the snow so if it’s one of those things that I could still do I’m gonna be moving snow for a while. Thanks again Brian for the videos, and sharing your knowledge.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Hey man, you bet! Easy, if it’s per push, you’re covered bc it’s a la carte. If it’s prepay, ours is only covering through 45”. After that, it reverts back to per push pricing. That being said, if you do a seasonal prepay for commercial with a flat rate monthly, just have the 10 year seasonal average as your cut off.

[@tatelawncare2718]

I’ve been asked for seasonal pricing. Which I would oblige only under a 3 year contract. My problem with seasonal pricing is AVG’s are great. Every season someone gets screwed one way or the other. So a 3 year contract a snowy year and a mild year can avg out. Just my opinion anyways

[@dustinn1853]

I'm a little over the halfway point in the video and maybe I missed it And maybe you'll mention it, I'm just curious what you're plowing in bulk salt rates are for in terms of square footage of total area. I live in Northern Maine we get anywhere between 160 and 200 inches of snow per winter. I will convert your pricing put it in comparison to mine on my end but I'm just curious of that.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

$240-$260 ton applied. And a ton of salt covers an acre, but the math is actually 800lbs of salt to an acre if you're trying to sharpen the pencil on your prices to be a little more competitive.

[@Jesus76Freak]

Just a quick question for anybody that can help me out. I started lawncare last year and we blew up this year. Im getting into snowplowing this year. One of the mowing contracts we have is 14 acres. We had a time this year on it with a 4 man crew. This same place wants us to plow and salt this year, but ive never done plowing before let alone something this big. I just did the measurements and for 1 plow and its gonna be exactly 1 mile worth of parking lots and roads/hills, not to mention sidewalks. I only have 1 truck right now, an F-250 with alot of miles, (runs good)and dont know if i even want to attempt this. Even if this was my only job this year, i dont know if we could handle it with 1 vehicle, if we get a major snow storm. What would you price the plowing and sidewalks for all of that? Or how would i begin to price that?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Hey Bryan, That's a good question. I struggle to give you an accurate number, would have to see the site of course. I've basically ran $245 an hour for my plow trucks and you could do a mile of roadway in about 30 minutes time if it's all windrowing. Double that up if there's culdesacs and double that up every time there's an additional 3" of snow. Id likely not attempt a site of that scale if it's your first one and also you only have 1 truck. Too much to go wrong and that would be a huge detriment to your business if 100 homeowners couldn't get out of their driveways due to a break down. Super bad optics. In the future, I plan to do a video on condos and long lane roads, to help with better pricing. Stay tuned for that. Best, Brian

Boss VXT minimum, I’d get a DXT if you want the nicer option. Gravel driveway is rough. Just being honest. Snow shoes are a scam, don’t get them. You’ll have to plow 1.5” off the ground to not destroy the gravel drive until it’s frozen solid. Just a quick tip there.

[@everythingcleaning2244]

@Pendletoncattleco his pricing matrix has it at 100ft $45 plus ice melt etc per visit

[@Pendletoncattleco]

@@everythingcleaning2244 thank ya!

[@joesmith5306]

Where are you guys getting bulk salt? I'm in Washington

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Find your local SiteOne or salt supplier, a quick google will come up with something!

[@joesmith5306]

Thanks. I'm just starting out lol and went from 1 to 10 in like a week.

[@braydenlowe2025]

Can you please make a video of every Booth at Equip Exposition This Year?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

I'll film as much as I can :)

[@braydenlowe2025]

​@@BriansLawnMaintenanceOkay Awesome!

[@handyscapersllc]

What if it's per push for 2" to 4" and per push for 4.1" to 6"???

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

You can set your tiers however you'd like!

[@alexmalm6406]

Any word if there is a salt shortage this year or not?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

That would be a convo with your local supplier, everyone's source is different. I haven't heard much yet!

[@stevenfausett6013]

I’m assuming these numbers are commercial only prices?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Same numbers commercial, churches, strip malls. Anything non residential basically.

[@johnlazear7405]

Do you still use this model? If not would love to see a video on that!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

@@johnlazear7405 yup 100%. Let me see what I can do ❤️

[@snowmobi13]

How arw you getting you walk price at $45. Some walks are long some are wide.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Just a standard rate, nothing fancy. Could always dial it down if you want to sharpen the pencil, yessir.

[@streamercentral4k]

How does the size of the lot affect the pricing?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

For every extra acre we discount it around 10%. To be fair, our company doesn’t focus on any lots larger than 3-4 acres.

[@stevenramer1767]

What day you going to equip expo? I want a picture with you

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

I'll be there all week my friend.

[@groundwerxlandscapedesign1245]

Those numbers would be financial suicide in our area. Our lowest full service seasonal rate is roughly $20k for 1 acre or less with sidewalks. Lowest per push we take on is $465 (inches dont matter on the small ones), $330/salt, $220/sidewalk, min $50 for sidewalk icemelt.

[@jagmichaelgilbert8523]

Where are you located? I'm Eastern Pa and I was thinking similar

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Awesome! What market?

[@Csoliday91]

Where are you located? And you’re getting $465 an acre per push?

[@rockyfortenberry5845]

Here in North Dakota I got started in snow removal last winter and then lawns this summer. Anyways I learned a lot from last winter doing just one flat rate and learned the hard way and now going into this winter I have two price points based on snowfall based on under 12” and over 12” per day. And my pricing includes clean sidewalk, mailbox of on the boulevard, fire hydrant if if front of the persons home, and clean up to the front door. And I hate to give my pricing out publicly and it’s also based on size of the driveway. So Brian if you would like to and ever have time shoot me a message and I’d like to give you my pricing to see if I am in the ball park or if I am still selling myself short. Thanks and I take most of your advice and Kieth I think his name is advice this summer from the videos and it’s been helpful.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

That's awesome brother. Keep it going!

[@cyclecpa]

Great breakdown!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Appreciate it!

[@Thelawnlabbuffalo]

What size lot is this example for?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

1 acre site

[@luispatino3180]

I never understood not putting any salt or deicer down after shoveling or plowing. I've made the mistake of letting the customer do it themselves more than a few times they call me because they ran out of salt or deicer and now the entire driveway is a block of ice they think my snow plow simply break it up. If the customer does not agree to deicer or salt after service I don't take a job anymore too much headache for cheap clients

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

I hear you loud and clear, and totally agree.

[@nickj6275]

Maybe it’s different over in Detroit but here in Grand Rapids they’re predicting a warm winter so maybe no snow this year

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Everything I’ve heard has said the opposite!

[@trevey16]

Same in Chicago. Just bought a $7k plow man im literally prayin it snow

[@busseto123]

350 cad dollars is minimum price for whole season

[@Lakecenterlawncare]

You get $245 to plow a residential driveway each event?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

I am not sure how you got that from this video? This video is 100% about commercial parking lots.

[@Lakecenterlawncare]

I’m sorry I missed that.

[@JoshSherman-y7v]

Nice , we do -plow driver fee per job /hourly plow price spreader fee for the salt boxes. Plus salt per lb Hand labor price per hr / sidewalk salt lb

[@landscapingmaintenancesnow4675]

I do retainer contracts money up front non refundable after each event I send invoices until retainer is gone then per hour

[@CerretaniOutdoorsLLC]

How does this work? Do you come up with the number by inch?

[@landscapingmaintenancesnow4675]

@@CerretaniOutdoorsLLC I do it by the size of the lot I strictly do commercial no residential
