[@mtnmotoadv]

Hey man cool content, I highly recommend getting the Ballard Darwin Grip. Completely changes trimming. I've seen a ton of lawncare guys on youtube recommend it so I finally bought one for my main trimmer and it's a huge difference. So much so that when I pulled out my secondary trimmer weeks later it felt so awkward and uncomfortable using the stock D-loop that I wondered how I went so long without the Darwin Grip.. so I went and bought a 2nd one for my other trimmer lol. It gives you way better leverage which gives you way more control and is way more comfortable on your back and shoulders. I don't even get paid to say this lol I just legit think it's that much of a game changer for lawn care guys and string trimming and I recommend it every time I see someone trimming without one

Can you go over how you keep track of your scheduling, for each client?

[@makemoneymowing]

Yeah I can in a future vid! But rein short all I use is the notes app from my iphone and one google doc lol- the iphone notes for week to week scheduling and the google doc for all my total records of what I did/what day/what customer/how much I made! Yeah you're right making a vid will be easier lol :) But if it helps, google docs and iphone notes is all you need! Google calendar is cool but I've literally never used it. I also like having a physical calendar to show what yards I have on what day!

[@justinbatten3]

@@makemoneymowing thanks man! It helps. Yeah sometimes I get so caught up in yards that I forget some and they just remind me. That def helps. Preciate you bro, keep doing big things! MakemoneyMowing!!

[@mtnmotoadv]

I've been doing lawn care for 4.5 years now and keep track of everything with a physical calendar and a ledger. I always take my ledger with me to work and after every job I write down the date, name of the account, brief job description, cost of job and then total monthly amount due for the property. Then at the end of the month I just go through and see who owes what then send off an invoice. The ledger is always a nice way to look back and cross check with your calendar to see when the last time you visited a property if need be as well

Say if you start a do you have to have a business license for lawn cutting service? Also sometime on a job site sometimes they bring two mowers two trimmers as and two blowers just in case if one machine doesn’t work you have a backup machine to keep things running smoothly??

Hey man, watching from Australia. Is it common practice there for that to be the finished grass length that clients want? Seems to me like it still needs to be knocked down a bit shorter, but that's just what i'm used to. Also, do they not request you use a catcher for the clippings and not leave them on the lawn? Anyways, i just stumbled across your channel and have been enjoying your content. Peace bro

Do you use a catcher

[@christianchee2857]

I rather use a hedger the line looks a lot cleaner than the string 😊

[@ericinhomessi6234]

The Edger ? It takes too long tho, it’s a whole other step.

[@makemoneymowing]

The blade edger is unbeatable if it was a battle to the death on which makes the better crispy edge and always will win IMO, but the string trimmer gets the job done (so long you can use it the right way) 😎 But for first visit- I always dig in w/ the blade!

[@christianchee2857]

I just got used to the edger haha 😊 but every person is different

[@andresherrera4556]

what about the business side of things do i gotta report this as a job for the irs and stuff? or just risk it

[@ericinhomessi6234]

Risk it for the brisket 😉

[@makemoneymowing]

It's up to you, if you wanna grow a legit company that declares legit income so you can use this pay stubs to buy a house, finance vehicles, and show other proof that you are making money from lawn care, then report it just like every other legal business! Take the steps to figure it out just like we did, it's not hard and it actually becomes fun and addicting 😁 The only reason you would want to not report income, is if you're cool with just having a big wad of cash or personal debit account money, and eventually people might begin asking where all that money came from! Then you got some explaining to do 🗡 Easy steps to get started: 1) find out how to open a sole proprietorship for your state 2) take the form you get from opening it to a local bank, and open a business bank account 3) Open a quickbooks/yardbook account, set it up, and you can email invoices to your new customers. The money paid and collected here is declared and you're done! Theres more to it like sales tax, federal taxes, etc, but this is just the basics. Hope that helped bro!

Great job, $45, every 2 weeks for front and backyard?

Yo what kind of sunglasses are those?

THANKS BRO...I LIKE HOW TO VIDEOS......SO U CHARGED 45 EVERY TIME U GO??? N THATS TWICE A MONTH

[@makemoneymowing]

Awesome! Yeah $45 per visit and usually we do every 2 weeks here 🌱 come super sunny & rainy seasons we might switch to weekly instead (still $45), but yeah $45 charged same day of service every time I go drop the top and finish the yard! Good luck bro 😎

[@soccervillegas]

I see you don’t bag clippings. How do you manage that ..what do you tell the customer? Do you de thatche every now and then???

[@ropeysubstance1719]

ur supposed to throw grass clippings back on the lawn, it's called mulching. grass clippings is good for your lawn and is a natural fertilizer. the only downside is that if ur feet get wet and u run on the grass it will get stuck to your shoe.

[@fernandezmaintenance1984]

You know how sometimes there's 5 weeks in the month, so..do you charge the 5th week??I usually don't, instead of increasing the rate I told them I going to charge extra week now

[@makemoneymowing]

Good question bro! I don't follow dates at all. Every 2 weeks (or say every other thursday), then I'll text that set of customers for that day! I've never once considered the fact that some months are 5 weeks lol so don't even worry about it. Just show up weekly to weeklys, and BW to BW's ! (biweeklys) 😎

[@VegasBugs]

$45x26 services annually in Vegas, no snow usually. $1,170 gross revenues per account. 10 mows per day 100 clients $117,000. Clearing $85-90k maybe. Nice gig. I own a pest control company. I should have done this instead, as associations require nice yards. Very inspiring, thank you.

[@stevef.9659]

If you say cut 9 months during the year then 9 mos x 4.3333 weeks in a month= 38.99 or 39 weeks and if biweekly, you divide by 2 = 19 cuts plus 1 for the initial cut is 20 cuts for the season x $45= $900 dollars ÷ 9 monthly payments is $100 billed each month not $90. Let your customers know that you are helping them to budget for your service with level monthly payments. Otherwise they'll have $90 payments most months and $130 payments during 2 months during the season, let them know you are trying to help them keep a budget and a win win for both of you.

[@arcadia1081]

I like your videos. That gear is loud! Don't the neighbours complain about the noise?

[@makemoneymowing]

I've only had one customer complain and it was my fault lol, this was maybe 3-4 years ago I was mowing for a homeowner renting out his house, I showed up at 8am earlier then usual (usually i'm there around 9-10am due to someone moving on me and when I started the lady came and freaked out on me because she was still sleeping lol. She apologized later and she was cool after though and from then I realized if it's a new customer, I'll just text a heads up OR even knock before I begin to play it safe and let them get in the groove of how I roll 🤙🏼

[@ericinhomessi6234]

When you blow it back on the lawn it gets in the edges and it doesn’t look as clean tho

[@makemoneymowing]

Good point bro! Yeah that can happen if you're blowing back too many clippings into the grass, If that's the case then I would keep mowing and mulching everything up and get it short and on the right weekly/biweekly schedule so that each visit minimal clippings are shot around and blowing back into the grass is easy in n out 😎

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Looks better in the edges than in the street, and you look better blowing it back into the yard, rather than blowing it and leaving it in the street. What you actually do is blow the grass _past_ the edge and into the turf, not just leave it in the edge. If your blower's not strong enough to do that, you need a better blower.
