Lawn care business tips

Hire the meanest looking guy to work with you. Change your name to Felons that bust Melons. A nice tagline like we cut more then grass. I bet that guy thinks twice.

Hi Dustin,

Welcome to our forum!

ive even had another company stop and talk to the customer while i was mowing and give them a lower price?

What happened with that situation? How did the customer and you handle that?

Have you considered using some kind of annual lawn care contract? Would that help your situations?
