simple, what's it worth to you, keeping in mind that you are actually getting paid a hell of a lot for the work of it all involved.. at most (i've worked by myself, with my brother and with a professional run buisness all multiple times) with weedeating (for edging, other wise only thing a weed eater is used for is really tall grass, like too high for a lawn mower, or where there's alot of thick stalked weeds that would be hard on the mower engine) mowing, general weed pulling from flower beds, and stuff like that, 30-35 bucks.. if you're just going to mow, start with 20 bucks per yard, if you keep getting "no's" go down to 15 per yard (i really don't know the size of yards around your neighbor hood so it's kinda hard to say)

in short, just what you feel is fair, keeping in mind if you get "greedy" with pricing you're not going to be getting a whole lot of customers, better to undercut yourself and get alot of yards then, over pricing and get maybe 1 yard a day...

oh yea, don't put prices on each job.. example conversaton:

you: hi mam/sir i was wondering if you'd like me to mow your yard
them: what all are you planning on doing?
you: well, it's more about what you want me to do ~insert laugh~
them: well i have runner grass (those long strings of grass that grow passed driveways and past curbs into the streets) growing off i'd like taken care of and of course the yard is shaggy like to get that mowed.
you: ok well i can surely do that, 25 dollars sound ok to you?
(this is where they say yes or no that's too much)
you: (if they said too high) well i can cut it down to 20 bucks, but i'm sorry i won't go any lower than that (in the nicest way, you're not giving an ultimatem, you're throwing the fact out there that you're not no shmuck and gonna work like crazy for pennies)

then it goes one of two ways
them: ok that sounds fair
you: ok well i'll get right on that, i'll come and let you know when i'm done so you can look over it and make sure you're satisfied

or..
them: well i can't really afford to pay that much, atleast not now..
you: ok well, sorry to bother you, have a good day, and i'll be going around here maybe some time next week, i can come by again if you think you could or would want me to do it for you then.

keep the customer happy and you'll be in good buisness, most of them will tell you to come by in a week or two to see if they want you to mow again, i did that.. and i always used to go to them first thing in a week or two (depending on when theyw anted me to come back) i'd go get them done first since it's basicly garunteed money then move on to go find more yards afterwards.. i don't thin kme or my brother ever went home with less than 150 bucks ina day, only working 6 hours at the most.. great way to make money if you ask me.
