I dont think you are a nut, just know how hard it is to do lawn work and to do agood job for a fair price. if $10.00 is the going rate then thats what you charge, but I am questioning what makes the old man behind you worth more per hr or lawn?

That's been his rate for years. He was around before I even thought of cutting grass commerically.

Why you laughing he makes $5 more per yard than you do?
If you do a better job than him why should you charge less?

Him and I are good friends. He's retiring next year.
Plus he bags his grass and puts it in lawn/leaf bags to get rid of at the end of the day. I bag my grass too but I don't buy lawn/leaf bags, I just dump the clippings in the cart I have hooked up on my Craftsman and haul it down to a yard waste that one of the trailer parks have.

I still don't understand why you think he should get more per yard then you

was it ever determined if he charges 10/hour or 10/lot? Cause if he charges $10/hour... I wish he lived around me cause I would retire from mowing my own yard!
