My lawn care business also provides fungicide control, grub control, fertilization and irrigation systems. As long as you can offer more services you can make big money.

I cut 65 houses a week at an average of $45 per cut. That’s $3, 000 a week gross just cutting grass. 12 yards a day done by 3pm. Then between mulch, hedge trimming and other side jobs brings in another $500-$1000 a week. I think $3, 500-$4, 000 a week is pretty good and pretty profitable. It’s all about how you run the business and the customers you take on. Averaging $15, 000 a month 9 months a year and another $20, 000 plowing snow.

Lawn care pays great. You build clientele. If you have good work you won't have to hand out cards. Business will come to you. I have 70 customers and I make 90 grand in 8 months. That's before my price increase this year. Go for it. Do good work and it will pay handsomely.

Most lawn care competitors around me do trash work and look like garbage. I seen people working without shirts on and expect to make top dollar.
It's absolutely hilarious.
Here's some secret sauce.
Get a uniform
Get vehicle lettering
Do top notch work
Always communicate with clients
And last but not least...
USE MANNERS
I cannot stress this enough.

[thecuttingsark]

You nailed it. And it’s not the only sector. Too many people won’t price high enough to survive long term, but they last just long enough to keep the sector cheap.

I've been doing landscaping for about 15 years now and I've worked for two different companies. The company I work for now he's had the business for about 12 years and he's thinking about selling and I'm thinking about buying. Currently we work from 8:00 in the morning until about 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon and we do about 20 to 30 cuts a week. I don't think I'll ever stop landscaping. Yeah it doesn't pay a ton of money but it does pay the bills, and I get a hell of a workout. I never go to the gym there's no point. I may not be the richest man in the world but I am content because I enjoy working outside regardless of the weather.

Agreed lawn care is simply too easy and people would rather go cheap than have actual good results they just want the grass cut so they dont get a fine from the city

[ThunderandLightningEvPickup]

Simple: use the lawn care business to get the customers and then sell them on other products mulching, landscaping window cleaning power washing fertilization ETC. Once you have customers it’s much easier to sell them other products because your customer acquisition cost ais far lower plus you get steady work in the meantime in between projects. And then when you’ve built up the work you can reduce the less profitable parts of the business.

[haydenzzz]

i’ve found you can make a lot more money doing mulching, bush trimming/removal and other large jobs than just cutting grass so that’s what i focus on

[johndodo]

I work alone and make 300 dollars a day. People are literally fighting over lawn guys around here.

[willbelair]

he’s probably making this video hoping people quit their business and he will be able to charge more for lawn

[blackhoodiefitness]

Because lawn equipment is too high for what you can charge a full setup like 10k mower trimmers and all that to change someone $40-60 meh not worth it. I bought all cheap equipment do a good job and only kept the most profit accounts.

[Yonickz]

Honestly… HONESTLY from a man who runs a family owned and operated landscaping company that makes 30k a month off of GRASS alone not counting anything else. It depends on which state you live. That makes a huge difference

[nicholasbraud]

You are correct. Southern California has been taken over by guys who do $100 a month weekly visits and that not enough to cover overhead, insurance, taxes. Etc. But your competition doesn't pay taxes, dont have legal employees, don't pay for basic liability and I can go on and on. Had to stop doing maintenance and focus on irrigation work only.

[IRoYaILTY]

I just did the same thing. I was doing it for a company while getting jobs on the weekends. Working 7 days a week and not even making real money. Especially in maintenance, you can make good money doing projects but there isn’t enough work to do that full time. I joined the trades as a plumbing apprentice and am still doing little paver and retaining wall jobs on the side. It takes a smart man to know when to get out of a certain field.

[ChadKirk]

I agree with what you said. Pressure washing is nowhere NEAR as saturated as lawn care. And if you don’t know what you are doing you can easily cause thousands in damage, so the fly by nights either get run out of business or are too scared to start.

[E.L.C.]

That's why I will do it solo with no overhead just residential properties in my neighborhood.

[thesheq]

Charge a subscription rate thats once a week from June first to September first. It’ll make you seem more professional plus a lot of people won’t realize you’re charging more per week than the other guys.
You’re welcome.
Also add some easy stuff on there too like mulching or leaf care. I had a guy say he would cover fallen tree limbs and debris as well as grass. Had a lot of takers of that deal.

Finally someone who spills the beans without being afraid of the backlash.. you didn't say a single lie. Most people who keep or stay in business are people who have a number of a few good honest employees that have been with them long term. I even worked for the big companies just to get a glimpse of all the crazy thoughts I had was true and 90% of them were.. turns out they couldn't even keep up with their cheap residential clients, they had to bring in child labor idk how it's legal but from Guatemala.. I'll never forget that.
