[quote=Anonymous]OP you have to stop comparing people who come to your house to work to what you think is a reasonable hourly rate for a full time job. 1) small businesses have considerable overhead so what they charge you isn’t just labor, even if it’s a one man band 2) they can’t stack jobs perfectly like Tetris to bill 8 hours a day Think of more as a fraction of a day. The business has a target of $x/day and each job booked takes up some fraction of a day. A lawn guy can probably do 3 lawns a day. Maybe 2 depending on how strong his back is. [/quote]
