This paper aims to analyze the financial structure and operational costs associated with Skeletonphilly Landscaping, a landscaping service provider based in Philadelphia, focusing on the year 2017. The analysis includes evaluating pricing strategies, estimating revenues based on average service areas, and assessing overall profitability, including the impact of labor, materials, and economic factors such as tax rates. The goal is to determine the financial viability of the business and whether it can support managerial staffing and generate sufficient income for owners or investors.

Skeletonphilly Landscaping offers a broad spectrum of services with specific pricing constants established in 2017. These services include rough yard work, gutter cleaning, power washing, lawn mowing and edging, driveway seal coating, fall leaf clearing, and snow removal. The pricing structure is expressed per unit of service: yard work at $0.003 per square foot, gutter cleaning at $0.075 per linear foot, power washing at $0.050 per square foot, lawn mowing and edging at $0.001 per square foot, driveway seal coating at $0.100 per square foot, fall leaf clearing at $0.003 per square foot, and snow removal at $0.025 per square foot. These rates are intended to cover labor, materials, and associated operational expenses.

The company's customer base is estimated at 850 customers, with an average lawn surface area of 43,560 square feet, roughly equivalent to a standard acre, which aligns with typical residential lawn sizes. The average surface area for power washing is 5,000 square feet, gutter lengths average 150 linear feet, and snow removal services cover roughly 2,500 square feet, matching typical driveway sizes and residential surface areas. Fall leaf clearing encompasses the entire lawn area at 43,560 square feet, emphasizing the seasonal nature of this service.

Economic considerations, such as a tax rate of 25%, influence the financial outcomes. Furthermore, the analysis considers the business's expenses, including labor and materials, which are estimated at $0.30 per unit of service, representing a combined operational cost. Loan payments, retirement income goals, and potential managerial salaries are also factored into the financial overview, although specific figures are marked as N/A (not available).

Expected revenues are calculated by multiplying the unit prices by the respective service areas or lengths. For example, revenue from yard work is derived from $0.003 per square foot multiplied by the total lawn area, totaling approximately $130.68 per customer. Similar calculations apply for other services. Total revenue is aggregated across all service types, resulting in an overall revenue estimate.

Expenses include total labor and materials costs, which are determined by multiplying the unit cost ($0.30) by the total service units for each service type. The combined expenses, along with any loan repayments and taxes (calculated at 25%), are deducted from gross revenue to determine net income. The analysis further assesses whether the net income supports hiring a managerial staff and if the earnings exceed expected annuity earnings, providing insights into the financial sustainability and growth potential of Skeletonphilly Landscaping.

In summary, the financial analysis of Skeletonphilly Landscaping incorporates detailed service pricing, area estimations, operational costs, and tax considerations to evaluate profitability. Although some figures are marked as not available, the approach underscores the importance of understanding operational margins and revenue streams in small business landscaping contexts, especially when planning for expansion or managerial appointments.
