How this is worked out
- Stops a crew day = working minutes ÷ (minutes on site + minutes driving), rounded down.
- Stops a week = stops a crew day × days a week × crews.
- A weekly customer takes one stop a week; an every-2-weeks customer takes half.
- Customer ceiling = stops a week ÷ stops per customer, given your weekly / every-2-weeks mix.
What it assumes
- It starts at about 150 weekly mowing customers per crew: a crew of 2–3 mowing about 30 lawns a day, five days a week. Lawnly’s homepage uses the same estimate.
- Rain days, breakdowns and the shop aren’t in it. Keep some room below the ceiling.
- Average stop and drive times hide big and small lawns. Use your real averages.
- The starting numbers are placeholders. Time a few of your own stops and change them.

Lawnly shows each crew’s visits on one calendar, with the weather on each day, and moves a rain day in one go.
Questions
When should I add a crew?
When your crews run close to the ceiling for weeks in a row, or rain days keep pushing work into Saturday. That’s the time to hire, before you sell more.
Why count every-2-weeks customers as half?
They take one stop every other week, so two of them fill the same slot as one weekly customer.
How do I lower drive time?
Sell in the neighborhoods you already serve and keep each crew’s stops close together. Fewer miles between stops is more stops a day.
Does this cover cleanups and one-off jobs?
No. It’s for recurring mowing. Leave room in the week for one-off work.
