How much should you get paid to mow the lawn?

== == Depends on your area.

$20+ for lawns 5,000 sq feet. $30-35 for lawns 5,000 - 10,000 square feet This includes edging, weedeating, and grass blowing Same price whether adults or not-- you're paying for the work, not by the age of the worker.

In our neighborhood, the rate is $50 cut, weedeat, edge and blow for a .5 (half) acre yard.This cost has dropped recently to $40 due to the poor economy and more competition. The $40 cutters do not have insurance, though.
