depends on 1) the going rate in your area and 2) whether you have a good reputation that inspires a loyal following among customers

Forty dollars an hour to cut my lawn -- no way!! There are kids in my neighborhood who will mow my front and back yard for $10.00!!

Never pay hourly for these services, get a quote on what it would cost to do the certain job. Technically someone could cut your lawn in one hour, but they could then spread it out over 2 hours, so you need to get a quote for the job, not the time it takes.
