There aren't any formulas that I know of, its all about production times, and your costs, added profit, etc.
What you should do is establish a base production #, then you go out and measure a property and base the bid on that. You have say 10 shrubs size "A" and 5 size "B", 100 feet of edging, 15 trees to trim, 400 feet of trimming, and 53000 sqft of turf. Then you go to your production #'s and say ok, I can do a size A shrub this fast, a B this fast, and mow this much land per hour.
Don't forget to take into account terrain difficult, such as trees you have to mow around (they add up), and slopes, etc.
I would strongly suggest you bring a consultant in if you are serious even before you begin the business! It will give you a great road to follow, and set it up right from the beginning.
Good luck!
