The grass doesn't even look like you are even cutting nothing. I'd tell you what you have good customer then cutting grass that look like it just got cut yesterday. I think they have money to pay but the people I deal with are cheap and broke got to find a different area. They don't care how high it is just to cheap to let me cut it every two weeks but I have couple of customers that do like it cut every two weeks. They have HOA but I guess 20:56 there not strict and making people keep the grass cut on a regular basis

The hardest part for me is trying to figure out how to get into hoas or neighborhoods that actually have grass and not everything growing in it. I could advertise but not sure how those specifically in subdivisions and hoas would see it. Living in the country, there's a few neighborhoods around within a 10 mile radius, but I've received nothing but crappy yards that turn into mowing nothing but dust in quite a few of them. Many days i feel like giving up as i already have a few health problems but it took so long just to build what little i do have and everything I've invested in, that's why i keep trying. Even many of the rich want to always find the best deal and for me, i can't drive 15-20 min to a job and 15-20 min back for one $50-60 yard that takes 45 or more minutes to do. Any advice on going about that? Thanks again for all the content you upload. You've inspired me a lot.

It's easier to use hedge trimmers instead of clippers, more leverage cleaner cut ✂️

That was a great POV presentation Johnny. Your business acumen is spot on for both lawn care providers and for customers, professional and knowledgeable. This is definitely what customers want to see, no grey areas and a consistent approach. Beautiful crisp clean results from the back and front yards. Many thanks for taking the time to share with us Johnny, much appreciated. Take care, see you soon and POP SMOKE PEACE ✌️💎

One thing I have learned is I send a introduction letter via E-Mail before we start cutting there and their estimate. It explains all the services offered and when payments are due and so on. It also explains when it will be serviced. A brief explanation of yearly costs depending on what services you would like. This way anything I may have missed is explained in writing. Sometimes I really do not explain anything when seeing them. I just ask for their Email and I am golden cause they are going to get a Email explaining it.

Can you help me understand what licensed and bonded mean in lawn care?
@dandylawnandmaintenance44072 сағат бұрын
@@jesuschristfirst5775 I am licensed with a State Issued Contractors License as a Landscaper. The Insurance and bond is required if your Licensed in this State. In case of any property damage while working say you break a window my insurance kicks in to pay for any damages. The bond insures any projects not preformed correctly. In this state if you work for a Property Management Company as a example most will not hire you as a contractor if your not insured for at least 1 million in coverage.. Let me set a small example. Say your out mowing and its hot dry grass. A fire starts and burns up all the grass and a house on that property. Well I am covered by insurance for damages. Many clients who live in expensive homes may look for someone that is Insured and Bonded. I also charge a Sales tax which I pay to the State. You can be Licensed or you can just go under the radar and not be Licensed but you may expect a lower level of clients. It also shows your committed as a provider.

Thanks for the tip on the shirts. I used to get cotton via vistaprint, but im looking at switching to long sleeve high performance tees with SPF protection. I was looking thru Fin print designs, do you find that the camo hides the dirt and stains better? Or do you prefer the solid red color and feel it stands out more? I also like the idea on I saw on one of your shirts that had a sleeve logo indicating Veteran Owned Biz.

When I see small guys just starting out at the gas station and they ask me for any useful tips, first thing I always tell them "dont let the customer dictate your price, and if you educate them about cut height and serice schedule and they say I dont care how it looks I just want it cut; run away you dont want a customer like that, they're nothing but a headache."

All of your tips are spot on. A few of more tricks that I use are 1 "think outside the box" lawn and landscape is not seasonal. Try to come up with monthly payment plans. A couple of reasons are they're are paying 12 months out of the year for a certain amount of services and certain types of services. That will keep alot of people from skipping services, and it generates year-round revenue, which is needed when it's time to get loans. 2. Create a business model that works for you and stick to it. No negotiating, no trash properties, no skipping servicesA lot of people use the three strike rules. This ain't baseball. This is business. You skip service you're off the schedule. Figure out what you need to make per hr and stick to it. 3 You must have confidence in yourself. Low confidence causes second guessing, which leads to negotiating and shying away from the business model. 4 This is your baby. You took the risk and bought expensive equipment, now make it pay for itself. It's good to have mentors, but at the end of the day, you have to answer to yourself. Get out there and make the initial mistakes, but learn from them. As a new business owner, this is the most exciting stage in your life. Embrace it. There's going to be stress, sleepless nights, a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, but if you put in the work and continue to educate yourself, you will eventually have that light bulb moment. Best wishes to this young man and any other new landscaper getting started.
