Lawn care business tips

Great to hear that business is booming for you. Scag mowers are the most expensive but they are by far the best. We only run scag mowers and i have two of them that have lasted me for four years and still run like they are brand new. I wish you continued success. If you could start over what would you have done differently?

Well to look @ all diffrent brands before I decide on a brand and how to bid jobs as well as what to look for in our area!

He actually was a LCO for many years and said that STI was on him to come work for them and so he finally gave in and sold his business!!!

But in 2 1/2 weeks I already have 9 solid accounts and 1 of them already paid in full for the year and signed a contract $1440. I cant conplain I just do good work and everytime I do 1 cut they want me to keep commin back so im lookin to have a sucessful first year!!!

In addition to those 9 accounts i have 2 more to cut today and hopefully I can get them on the team and another to bid after I get done cutting those 2 and its starting to look like sooner than leter this fulltime gig might be no more lol

Yeah I appreciate it!!!

Im sold on scag hands down the smoothest and best cut I have seen or ran to date!!!!!!

Thats what I need is a mower I can get some use out of lol but I dunno what I will be getting first the V force stander or the Cheetah) turn.

I have to say I would have shopped around a little bit more and bought a good unit to start with because I have to say that I am kicking myself in the backside right now!!! lol
