The question of whether a price is too much or too little isn't really relevant. It will be different for everyone and it doesn't make sense for you to charge less than you should to get a big account that you will then lose money on. So the questions are 1) How long is it going to take you each week keeping in mind that it will be longer in spring and fall and shorter in summer and 2) How much do you need to make for each of those hours in order to pay your bills and make a profit?
I don't know how much trimming is involved or what kind of equipment you have. By taking debris with you do you mean bag mowing the whole place? Are you mulching wide open beds or beds full of perennials? Moving mulch in wheelbarrows or around a parking lot with a skid steer? You also didn't mention spring/ fall cleanups, pruning or anythiong else that might be involved.
We don't really do that kind of work but if I did I would say that, all things being average, for us $500 a cut would be high and 3900 for mulch would be low. I might bid it around 400 a cut and 5000 or 5500 for mulch. I would probably also be high and not get the job.
