There was a bunch of guys advertising $10-$20 cuts. So I give them a call and let them beat on their equipment. Eventually theyll see me unloading my zmasters and give me that weird look. Some will ask, if you have the equipment why are you paying me? I explain I dont mow for gas money. They all stop showing up after 2-3 cuts.

This seems like a d**k move but I have to teach em a lesson one way or another. I try my best to act like my worst customers.

LOL! If they'd do it as well as I do it I'd try that but they are usually just hack and pack.

I take great pride in my yard. I live in an area where a great deal of my customers live and feel that my yard could be advertising. I typically cut mine 2 times a week.

I take pride in mine as well. I use a picture of it on the front page of my web site.

Same here. I am good about watering my tomato plants though.
