Can Solo Guys MAKE A LIVING Mowing Lawns???

[@FloridaTurfPros]

The fastest most surefire to achieve your goal of owning a lawn care business that supports you and your family is www.turfprosacademy.com It's a STEP BY STEP BREAKDOWN of exactly what to do based on everything I have learned over 8 years.

[@kristensdad6828]

Great insights. I have been a solo operator for almost 30 years. I service between 60 to 70 yards in a 5 day week sometimes 6. Route density is key. My heaviest days are Monday and Tuesday. I usually knock out about 20 or so each of these days. All grouped closely together sometimes 3 or 4 right next to each other. Be dependable and predictable. The accounts are serviced the same days every week normally about the same time of day each time. Once you understand how to get through each yard it is a piece of cake. The same way every time, everything each and every time. Variations of mowing patterns taken into account. Quality, dependable service, but you have to understand your customer. Some yards you are just a grass cutter and other customers you are a lawn guy. Don't cut corners. I try to sell my customers on annual contracts where the amount is the same every month with extra money for things that are outside of the normal course of work. I figure mine on 44 trips per year, servicing 12 months of the year. It has worked for me. I use to work a job and do this on the side. You can make it. Bet on yourself. People will pay for quality work.

Right on the mark! Im solo and some things that come to mind that pays dividends is, let the mower cut the grass on the curbs(not your string trimmer); Shute blocker; 4 day maintenance week; full property maintenance(landscaping beds)range $90-220 per ;working for people that have the money to spend on a excellent service; full sleeve poly shirts and pants, full brim hat, scheduled service only company!, monthly during winter for properties that have trees and or nice landscaping. Equipment don’t make a business! Your customers make your business! Offer a premium service for premium price for the people that value it. Have money in the bank so you can wag the tail, not the customer. You are the professional you need to back it up with your company appearance and service!

[@zachmorris8475]

Worked 6 years solo cutting grass on the side while going through nursing school. I then worked for two years as an ICU nurse while I continued to mow grass. I had around 15-20 clients at a time and made around $40,000 a year. Saved my ICU pay for 2 years and paid cash for my anesthesia schooling. I am forever indebted to the lawn care service and cherish my time that I had on my mower for those 6 years. Hard work!

[@NataliaM-c7q]

Love This quick story bro!! Hey how were ypu able to make $40k/year off 20 clients? Did you upsell them on other services alot?

[@zachmorris8475]

@@NataliaM-c7q I live somewhat rural and so most of my clients bills were 100$ a cut or more. One lawn was 240$, another 175$ that was a church. I generally only mowed and did very little landscaping. My schedule was limited so I only kept weekly or biweekly clients that were reliable and I charged around 50-60/hr. I would typically only work Friday and Saturdays but they were usually 10-15 hour days. I did have to pay taxes on that and there were some business expenses obviously, but running lawn care is pretty cheap on over head if your equipment holds up, so I netted less than 40k, but still I was able to live on that at the time while being married and save my other income to put towards my schooling.

[@antoniobryant2516]

You are absolutely spot on. I have mowed 14 in a day and 12 in a day. Route density is key. 12 a day is adequate for me. Kudos to those wanting to do more. I am a realist. Great content

[@zangzang1268]

When starting up, I took on everything. First realization was that I wasn't making any money hauling equipment around town. It only makes money when it's running. So, logistics and planning is key in this game. Then I got selective on the type of accounts, only took on townehomes and other year round properties.

[@seanslawns]

I’m solo, I absolutely bust my ass and charge more because I am the owner who also does the work…so I care. I’m at 91 yards that average $224 a yard. That took me 7 years of quoting the highest quotes and getting only about 5% of the quotes bc my price was high. I have about 48 small beach yards that I charge a minimum of $200 a month. They take me anywhere from 5-10 minutes to complete. That took a lot of patience and time to get where I’m at. Also, i began to record my work and my channel has over 100k subscribers. There’s also one time jobs I do on the weekends every few weeks. I’ve had months of 35k but I’m usually around 20k now. Not bad money for cutting grass by myself. I started at like 4k a month and my route density and pricing sucked bc I inherited most of it. Happy I found you and looking forward to learning from you.

[@bigsonslawncare]

I totally agree! Whats sustainable is a good point! At this point in my life and solo I'm the Tortoise not the Hare , Some days I may hit 7 and some 3 it depends I'm set up to be consistent over the long haul.

I ran solo for years and maxed out at about 110 lawns a week. Once I swapped over to fertilizing and pest control I doubled my income with half the work and equipment. Highly recommend people go that route. Yes it has a slightly bigger barrier to entry with licensing and education but a solo guy in a van can easily pull in $2k in a 8 hour work day depending on your market and density. Best thing I ever did was stepping out of mowing.

How do you compete with the big companies like True-Green? They seem cheap!

[@jacobpope11]

@@shannonp4037 Quality, personal, education and local. My servicing offering was much greater with a personalized approach. “Custom” programs for each lawn, soil testing on all my properties, mostly organic products with use of bio stimulants. I often took on free lawns in neighborhoods to grow into those areas, I would just find an ugly lawn and offer to make it beautiful again for free. With the use of proper bio stimulants it’s not hard to get a lawn to turn around quick. Or money back guarantees if I did not turn their lawn around within two months. After I had a few on a street it was easy to go door to door and point out my results vs TrueGreen or Weedman results. Most was me just walking around talking to people and showing them a better quality experience with a personal touch. Staying active on Facebook and answering questions / education. I have a friend that started a lawn care business from scratch and he spent the winter before active on neighborhood Facebook groups answering questions, he started his first Spring with 82 accounts just from him staying engaged on Facebook and providing good education and information over the winter before. I had plenty of Tuegreen lawns in between mine and I would just keep poking those home owners and creating good relationships with them. Many homes have had Truegreen for years and their lawns look like shit, not hard to show them a better way. If they want cheap they get cheap results. Most of my products I ran were from Greene County Fertilizers, hands down the best products in this industry. Can’t stress education enough, you cannot turn a lawn around all on your own, home owners need to be taught good cultural practices and be involved with their lawn and do what you ask them to do. It goes a long way.

How in the world were you mowing 110 lawns a week solo?

[@jacobpope11]

@@FloridaTurfPros 6 days a week killing myself and good route density. Had an awesome 48” mower that I ran for 20 years ( old Buyers Gold mower) Replaced the hydros with ones I pulled off a forklift and suped it up a bunch. Re designed the pulley system to get more speed out of it. Was able to cut at about 12mph and drive 15mph with it. So having that speed all day made a big difference just going back to the trailer for example. Had a 36” gravely that drove me crazy because how slow it was. Don’t make them like they used to anymore. Found them at Costco for $2k. Plus it was extremely light and easy to maneuver around. Only weighed about 300 lbs. Thing was a monster and just as scary to use. Closest thing I can find to those mowers is from Bradley mowers but the design has changed so much you can’t do much to them to make them faster. Only did 110 for about two years and it was just too much. Dropped down to 90 a week solo and would do that in about 4.5 days. Average sqft was about 3k so quick and easy lawns.

[@christophermitchell4455]

@FlordiaTurfPros It depends where you are at. I live in CA. Everything is expensive here EXCEPT getting your lawn cut. For your average subdivision house, you are not getting more than $20, most of the time $15. There are just to many people willing to do it for cheap, and there are virtually no barriers to entry other than a very small investment to get started. It's a strange economic situation where minimum wage is $20/hr., but $15 to mow your lawn. It's crazy.

Too much competition and low margins and no money to invest in your 401k or health insurance. Part time maybe but even then too much work for little money and equipment issues.

I love ugly lawns. Perfect lawns take a lot of labor to keep perfect. Those property owners like to haggle on price and will call and complain anytime a blade of grass is out of place. Leave those account to the big companies that bring an army of low paid guys to the property. Solo and small crews should stick to the normal properties of normal working people that want to go do something fun on the weekend instead of cutting their lawn

Are u all talking weekly when u'll all say 12-15 yards a day

[@shannonp4037]

No, he is talking daily. If you charge $50/lawn for a mow and trim and each lawn takes you 20 minutes and you spend another 20 minutes driving between clients, you mow 2 lawns per hour. If you leave home at 7:30 am and arrive at your 1st at 8:00, mow 2 lawns per hour including drive time, 1 hour for lunch and then return home for 4:30, you should have mowed 14 lawns. You were out for 9 hours, took a 1 hour lunch and took 1/2 hour drive between your house and the first client and then your last client and your house totaling 1 hour driving. Some lawns take more or less time. Driving between clients is the killer of wasted time.

Not really, it’s a low profit business.
