If they did the same quantity and quality of work you would obviously go with the kid down the street.
 
I guess the difference is that in the lawn mowing example you gave you would have been quoted a price by both parties, it does not sound like that was the case with your original dilemma.

I started accepting freelance web and graphic design jobs when I was 13 and continued to do so for at least another 7 years. One thing I quickly learned was what my time and talent was worth versus what people were willing to pay. When I was younger, that disparity was much bigger but the older you get the more that gap starts to close. Just because he`s young doesn`t justify a wage that`s less than what you would pay a 35 year old who produces similar results. Don`t discriminate based on his age, if you`re confident in his abilities and you like his work pay him what you think is fair.

It seems I echoed the sentiments of previous posters, my apologies! I just read the first post and replied.
