Lawn care business tips
Very nice pics Mike! Can you tell us what you got first and how you scaled up?

If you could buy an all new setup, what would you do differently from what you currently have?

What got you to start your lawn care business?

well Steve.
I have been in grading and masonary for around 18 year working for my Father. But wanted to run somthing on my own for a good while.
Last year 07 . I started Mowing Grass on Fridays only. With a Craftman 42in Rider. It's what I cut my own grass with for the last few years.
I have a 4x8 trailer that I started out with. First Commercial thing I got was a Honda Trimmer $300 new, then a Honda HRX217 Trim Mower $900 new, a Huskavarna Back blower from lowes $199.(did not make it past 1 year with only 1 day a week ).
Thats what I started with Last year .
More to come

Mike,

With all your experience in grading and masonry, why did you decide to do lawn care? Why not open your own masonry business? Will you be offering masonry services in the future and hardscaping?

I think your sign should be outside the trailer, not inside

I love the logo design! Did you do that yourself? WOW!
