I'm 14 years old and last summer I started my own mowing business. Huge thanks to my parents for driving me around. This season, i have 5 customers a week and I make $360 a month. I think it is a good start, especially because of my age lol . I recently bought a lawn tractor for my moms house (used) in great condition, and I am saving up this season for a brand new walk behind.

My 11 year old came to me a few weeks ago with a full business plan, a website, a Google email address and an application for Yelp. He even had a finance plan to pay himself and the company and hire my 9 year old daughter while leasing my lawn equipment until he has enough to buy his own. His plan had lot of flaws but he is 11 years old. A bit of guidance, research and suggestions and he will be able to start cutting for customers in about a month. I'm not in the business. He is impressive.

I been in this buisiness for a long time and what this guy is making a week is right on point. Most people will lie about how much they make and how many yards they do. Yea you can make 500.00 a day but if u do that 5days a week all the time, I bet you won’t be In This buisiness long cause your gonna get burnt out and have health issues. Don’t let these fake poser lawn guys out here make you feel like your not doing good your right where you should be.

when i was 14 i offered people a more reasonable price to use their own mowers they had. so i only used elbow grease. they seemed to be very much ok with this and it seemed like most enjoyed me using their equipment. it was a win win. i was able to just bike to every job.

Way to go man! I'm on year two as well. Came in to this season doing less than 2k a month in lawn care. Going out doing 13k monthly!

I got enough out of this video to:
1. Trust you and your work.
2. Be motivated to do it myself (That's why I'm watching this video in the first place)
3. Back to 1. Maybe I'm wrong, but very rarely I just meet somebody and I can just trust them.. and you put out that vibe very well.

So I started my business last year and did it part time on weekends. I charge about $40-50 a yard and I had about 5 or 6 regular customers and I made about $300 a every 2 week so $600 a month. I use a push mower right now For about 3 months. So I made about $1800 this year I plan on getting new equipment this spring I'm also getting a truck soon. I been working out of a suv.

I’m in a similar situation. Landscaping and mowing with a professional company for 4 years, money wasn’t great but I loved the trade so I started my own deal. Only working Friday and Saturdays and doing estimates in the afternoons we are averaging 8k a month. We only mow 10-12 yards a week. Landscaping jobs bring in 500-3000 a week depending on the job. I’m working on bringing my mowing clientele up so I can have a reliable income and then focus on landscaping jobs. The largest issue I’ve faced is learning to estimate and learning how to be a business owner. I haven’t paid myself, living off my Monday-Thursday job. Investing in equipment and advertising is my main goal

That guy will go far he is very very honest you can tell it in his voice

I’m uk based, but in lawn care, I’m clearing between 3-5 k a month now. Most of my one of cuts turning into maintenance jobs. Love this industry 😊

I always tell my clients .. "If you're happy, I am happy. " ..

I basically i do the same as you do .. keep it up

I am glad that I found this video .. makes me realize that I am in the right path

Sometimes, I want to quit, but my dreams keep telling me that I can do it all I need is dedication

[alvinmendaros]

$40 bucks a cut seems extremely low. 😮 We average $120 per cut here in CT for 2024. Even for small businesses

i have an idea for a new type of lawncare business...there are teams of highly trained choreographed performers on the mowers that go house to house and mow the lawns...they do tricks and choreographed performances while mowing the lawns and each week they change up the routines at each house..the mowers can also be fancy looking and outlandish and adorned with led lights or smoke or other cool effects and very outlandish trucks to pull the trailers with that have led signage and sound effects like an ice cream truck...and also after the lawns are mowed they leave some sort of a cool design like the foam on a cappucino or coffee shop....they would be like a performance act as well as mowing the lawn

That’s awesome, I’m from Flint MI just moved on my own this year. Cool to see this guy doing his own and working hard to succeed! Best of luck bro 💯

[hamzafaham]

you can tell he is passionate about it.

$1, 750/wk seems very low for a professional company with labor, taxes and other overhead.. That's only $350/day. 40 customers takes up 5 days a week? That's only 8 yards a day.. And for an avg of $40/cut he should only be at each property for no longer than 33-35 minutes each solo or about 17-19mins for a 2-man crew, and even considering drive time, that's not even a 5 hour day.

Seems like there's some improvements in efficiency to be made, but hope he can grow his client list👍🏻

For reference, after reviewing my own numbers, I know that in order to reach my goals, we need to make around $1, 000-1, 100 per day, or $5, 300-5, 400 per week as a 2 man crew (myself as the owner/operator and a helper), which comes to about $23.5k/mo. This is only for mowing 4 days a week with 108 clients. Then this allows you 1-2 days for other projects for additional income or rain delays to catch up on work.

Hey, a fellow Grand Rapids guy! Let’s gooo. Keep up the great work bro!

Finally, a video that tells you what you can actually make solo!
