Seatbelts.

Another factor that most folks overlook, enjoyment & communication. I’m sure when y’all are together you get to brainstorm & work through data and ideas in between sites. If you are split, then you have to factor in time after or between jobs to communicate. Good video! Proud of yall.

2 trucks would reduce time by a lot you are just spending double on everything. 1 guy is way more efficient that 2 people. When I had my mowing company, 1 extra guy would only increase time by 33% not 100% like you would think. This was the case on hundreds of lawns. So a 30 minute lawn solo could get done in 20 minutes with 2 people. With 2 trucks you have less windshield time though because you can travel in different directions and you don't have 2 people just sitting there.

yep running the second truck is a learned process to get a exact duplicate rig where every thing that one trailer has the other one does too. You said it man running the second truck really only saves you time - But that my friend is EVERYTHING! Freeing up time = ability to do more work in the same time frame. So now for instance i can do monday route and 60% of tuesday route all on monday - So by the time i get to thursday/friday i got a whole day and a half that i can incorporate more NEW work. Also it allows you to take on other lawns that with one truck wouldn't make sense. Pretty soon what happens is the second truck has its own routes and wop wop you moving up - till someone quits🤣🤣then its a little harder to get everything done. Now if you had to go out and buy a $50k truck then that mite not make as much sense-at this point but if i got a truck im already paying for just sitting while we running one truck for 12 hr day then its a no brainer when the schedule is loaded. Its a real learning process but once you get it figured out its gold

100% doing the right things, especially in your situation. Mike Andes has said this several times also. If you are doing it part time, don't have any desire to hire a crew and are just in profit mode, maximize your profits and make it worth your time. You will have to change strategy and mindset if you plan to be in growth mode and want to get there faster. It seems like you guys are just wanting to maximize your side hustle profits and you are going about it the right way for sure.

Very good points. I like it.

You are firm in what your goals are monetarily wise to make your business a success. Hold the line and you will find the right customers. It must be a win-win situation for your business and the client. Thanks for what all you guys do. Peace out from San Antonio, Texas.

Great job guys love the content always. Now with prices. You loose one then you gain one. Stay strong 💪🏼How is that Ram doing for yall? Been looking at some 2500s

Yeah guys the grass is thick in our area. Hoping the heat and dry will slow things down some. I would say you need to be careful about how you go about upping your prices in the middle of year.. I typically wait till the off season to do so

Yeah man that’s the issue I have with the big properties. It can be tough to quote them correctly a lot of times. Hard to know how long it’s gonna take.

Thank you for the video 👍😎🇺🇸

Man sometimes we take hits on quotes that will only makes us look in the future for improvement. Great video yall 💪🏼💯💯

Thanks for all the detail you provide. Best of luck!

Awsome guys 🫡💯

Could u pile it up and burn it? Even thoe it's summer i may consider piling it up now and burning it in September- Renting a chipper would be a good option too considering the how flat and dry everything is- Also a 30yd dumpster rental in my area is $450. 12" Chipper about $450 as well. For me my skidsteer the grapple bucket, brush cutter and a 30-40 yard dumpster. What i dont like about a chipper is 1) i gotta go get it 2) it probably cant take all those big trunks. 3) takes labor to run it

One thing I would change is them edgers and weed eaters 😂 not hating but I prefer sthil

Lol bad day to wear shorts

you know me - i would put my exmark with the tweels in that.. Def come back and do that as a stand alone job-Its never going to be this dry for long- That gets rain on it - gonna grow fast - 5 min from house is GOLD

Thank you for the video sir 👍😎🇺🇸

Man yeah customers around this time of year can be too much. I normally tell them if my schedule allows not a problem. I try to accommodate but cant always promise. Happy 4th yall 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Increase your prices by 4% to make up for the credit card fee.

Zelle is free with my bank - people that Zelle me - the money goes straight into one of my bank accounts

Also with venmo and cash app instant deposit cost - but i always use the free option that usually takes a couple days to get paid

Hey man are you still going to be buying the new Redmax ebz 9000 backpack blower this year

Thank you for the video guys 👍😎🇺🇸

Keep your walk behind, acre properties looking good ,don’t worry about the drought we’ll all get through it. It’s the gamble of the job. You can’t control the weather. Hang in there and thank you for the video 👍😎🇺🇸

The only thing that I see that you could possibly need is another landscape trailer for the second truck so you can run Both the trucks mowing grass. That would be a Ballin Pimp move.. Having the ability to run 2 trucks on the mowing and having the dump trailer on the side.You can really do good alot.of work really fast.

Having the dump trailer and additional equipment though might not be the best time, but you can't change that now. So now you got to take on work as you can with dump- But we all know during the mowing season we rarely use dump trailer either. But the dump trailer is a continued very versatile asset that I've had for 15 years. It ain't going nowhere but your money will get better and better. And you will learn different ways to use the dump and learn to make money and or save time The same thing with the walk behind.If you all of a sudden, get more work, you can always put somebody on a mower.. I would not sell my dump trailer without having another 1 to replace it. Great video man

Gotta be smart when your going into business for yourself. I've been in lawncare 37 years and I can tell you that buying that truck was a mistake. I could've bought 3 work trucks for that price. That 10 grand you put down should've bought your work truck and you wouldn't have a payment. All my work trucks are $10,000 or less. That money on the dump trailer would've went towards a trailer big enough to haul all your equipment. Makes no sense to spend that kinda money on a traiker just to sit. All my trailers are 20ft . They'll haul three 60" zero turns or 4 stand ones. You can't make profits when your in debt on all your equipment. That stand on is wasted money also unless your using it on 20 or more yards a week. I got one 36" we use but I use it every day.

Do you guys do any kind of marketing? If you want to grow you have to market and spend a little money. Facebook/Google has been my best. Signs around town and door hangers have helped some too.

Thank you for the content brother 👍 My first two years I did not see much profit. I know I did not have as many yards but my pricing was horrible and honestly I was debating to quit for a second. I am still trying to justify my equipment but trying hard not to make a crazy decision lol. I almost pulled the trigger on a F350 but I second thought myself My Ram has life on her left. Yall be safe 🫡

I retired from a company after 44 years at the age of 62. Lawn care was something I always wanted to do but never took the chance. I didn’t want to live with no regrets. A motivating reason to make money besides my pension and social security is to offset the high price of healthcare insurance under the age of 65. Been doing this over one year and loving it. I always loved to mow lawns since I walked the streets at 10 years old looking for mowing work. I played golf for about 10 years so I love a manicure lawn. My business model is to provide affordable quality lawn care. My prices are not so cheap to be considered a volunteer instead of a business but I don’t price out seniors or single parent individuals. If I was younger and ran it full time this would be my approach. I would operate as a solo operator knowing if I am sick or equipment is damaged or stolen then I am out of work for a time. I would take a portion of profits to invest. Investing your money makes money while you are sleeping. This is the long term plan to work less in lawn care. Working for someone else will always limit you. Lawn care in my area is year around because of winter rye grass and leaf clean up. Running full time would also mean to move up your pricing to new clients then slowing let go the undesirable yards and lower prices. So in time you can search for clientele that have no problem paying well for your area of expertise. Taking in more revenue with less clients. Lawn care is unique in that it is a repeatable business with the same clients that you choose. Know the difference between a plan and a purpose. A plan is a specific route to a destination. When obstacles appear then the plan may go off course and never be completed to the destination. A purpose does not have a specific route. It is driven and focused on the destination itself. You will adjust to whatever is needed to get there. Figure out your purpose in your business. What is your area of expertise do you bring to the market? Develop the education and skills that will forward your purpose. Take care from San Antonio, Texas.

Keep doing it. It’s the best keep secret. This line of work you can survive comfortably and more. I’ve been doing this for 29 years. Solo operator. Thank you for the video 👍😎🇺🇸
