  I follow a lot of lawn care YouTubers

  More than a few commenting about raising prices and canceling contracts of customers not willing to pay enough to cover it

  Its not an insignificant difference either, like +$40 on a weekly cut for a quarter acre lot. That’s between a 35-50% price increase depending on the market of the people I’m watching

  The trucks to get there being the big portion of that increase not the mowers, but certainly the mower/trimmer/blower opex increased as well

  Regardless though anyone not running primary electric rigs are definitely hurting right now

  Those who invested into it early, and especially those who got State and Govt incentives, before the current administration shut them down have a massive opportunity to cash in over at least the next ~2 years while this settles, keeping their prices just below whatever their competitors have to charge until their routes are fully booked while those running gas are forced to raise prices and renegociate contracts to maintain profits
