40 Lawn Care Business Tips (Easy to Understand and Apply)

[@Twomps]

Thank you so much

[@johnhoward6551]

I agree with this Isaac fella here I'm referring to the video I watched before Jason, 5 tips about the lawn business. I was in the paint business for 3040 years. What I didn't hear you mention as you were talking about purchasing equipment and this that and the other and you're driving around but what you didn't mention is as an overhead expense How expensive that truck is to maintain you're driving around the cost of fuel for it and the lawn mowers machines whatever they may be..as overhead is damaged near or as expensive as labor.

[@isaacstewart2395]

I don’t do lawn care but I feel like a lot of these tips can be applied to a small business in general. Thanks for taking the time to make this!

Great video. I'm just starting a little lawn care business and I'm glad I took the time to watch this. It's great to soak up the experience from people that have been doing it a long time. I'm using battery powered equipment so I think a lot of the maintenance is probably simplified. Batteries do run out of power faster than gas though so that is a little challenge charging and changing batteries a lot. The hardest part is mostly that the batteries are expensive and set a sharp limit on the amount of work I can do in a day. Those little nuances aside, he has a lot of great advice that is relevant to anyone.

I am buying a second zero turn and am going too have 2 of each piece of equipment. Just incase any of my machines go down.

[@morkusmorkus6040]

I started with just one of each and believe me, the stress was real haha. Then it happened and my whipper snipper shat the bed and I couldn't finish a job. Now I've got two of all my main equipment, and peace of mind.

Thank you

[@blixxy1320]

One thing to mention, if you don't plan on selling whatever truck you are hauling with, very short drives are actually worse for longevity than longer drives because you're not letting the engine reach operating temps. which means fuel map is running closed loop(rich) and you get worse gas mileage. But if you plan on getting the most resale value just worry about mileage. this mostly applies to people with newer trucks.

[@dmcdmc7995]

Is there a app that you can use to route all your locations for gas savings

[@morkusmorkus6040]

Google maps?

[@scottmorgan3577]

Awesome info Jason, I got my logo from you I think it makes a big difference. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing some tips. Looking to restructure my business for next year. This was my first season and I did well....but I could've done way better

[@TeVeTeVe]

how’d it go this season?

[@JonsDailyHustle]

@@TeVeTeVe it went great this season, after restructuring and dropping lower end customers. Was an absolute game changer

[@TeVeTeVe]

@@JonsDailyHustle Wow sounds great! I’m about to try blowing leafes but might be a bit late at this point. Feeling like I’m quite late for everything with the seasons and all, I’ll start strong spring 2022 tho!

[@JonsDailyHustle]

@@TeVeTeVe you could definitely start with leaves now, I've done leaf cleanups all the way through the winter into the springtime tbh. But definitely get an early jump for 2022 and have a great season 👊

Manually track it with a spreadsheet. I have a tool logbook that I update at the end of the day. I do it for all my tools, big and small.

I remember this list!! You've been great at giving tips through the years that have helped me start and grow my business. Thanks for everything my man!

[@lawncarelife]

Glad to help. I thought the list needed updated

[@drakechampion4064]

This is great information! Thanks! Where abouts are you located in Alabama? I live in the Oxford Anniston area and have recently been knocking around the idea of starting a lawn care/treatment business. At least try it out on the side. Do you think there is a big enough market to do premium/golf course grade residential lawn care (reel mowing, fertilization, weed/fungus treatment, aeration, leveling, fall overseeding) ?

[@drakechampion4064]

Also, do you think a business performing golf course grade service to residential customers could become profitable? Or do people tend to not want to pay that amount of money for the highest quality? (including reel mowing low/cutting same lawn at least twice a week)

[@sandispady9058]

I was watching how to use a weed eater and the next thing I knew, this was playing. I must have fallen asleep...not board...it’s late. No business. Don’t want a business, but wow! This was interesting.

Maybe it's a sign you need to start one.

[@historiaselectrizantes2247]

What height do you recommend mowing in general terms ? or does it depend on the turf type ? Or if it’s way to tall, do I cut a higher height than usual? Thanks man 🙏

[@lawncarelife]

Depends on type of grasd

[@throwingsparks]

Do you have any customers with dogs that are/can be aggressive and how do you handle that situation?

[@lawncarelife]

Yes, had a customer with a pit bull that would charge the fence. It looked like it wanted to kill me. I told the customer and that she would need to put the dog up in the house from now on

[@d_dizzie_druck5753]

definatly contact the owner, about the situation. This is also one of those situations where you NEED to be @ that property on an agreed time/day, so they know when to put the animal inside in order for you to do your job saftley.

[@owenkluth3168]

I deal with this alot as well. One field trip I have is always. Literally always. Make your presence known before entering any backyard. Even if you've literally just shook hands with the customer don't walk silently into the back yard. And the first thing I always do is check for a dog door. I've had it happen multiple times where I've spoken directly to a customer, gone to the back, and still been charged by a dog.

[@jz719]

Is going door to door putting cards or flyers on doors legal? Or how should I start?

[@lawncarelife]

Check with local rules. Facebook groups are great for marketing

[@underdogspraying]

Don’t work on Saturdays. The 7th day of the week. The day God sanctified and set apart. Not Sunday the 1st day of the week. Great other tips though
