Dude can I get on here? I started my lawn care business LLC at 17 and I’m 19 now and we do some pretty good revenue.

[@El_Jefe916]

If you’ve been thinking about starting this business please do it. I got fired from my job doing the same things mowing and landscaping so I decided to do it myself and I’m making 2x what I made working at that job and it’s barely my 2nd month. On a mission to 6 figures! Bless up champs

[@El_Jefe916]

By the way I bought my mower Toro 22” for 200 used, my backpack blower for 150, my weed wacker for 200

[@rjskum688]

Most people can start with a good push mower weed eater and a leaf lower. I bought a toro push mower from Tractor supply for $500, Poulan pro leaf blower from tractor supply for $99 and a Husqvarna weedeater from a dealership for $300. Say trimmer line, gas cans, gas and oil for $100 total. I already had a pick up truck. About 1000 bucks is a good start. The hardest part (which really isn't hard) is going out and looking for yards. I did ol fashioned door to door and it seemed to work well. Just don't get discouraged when they say "no, I don't need you to cut my lawn." All of this extra stuff in the vid is great. But I would advise starting off on your own 1st.

[@rjskum688]

Make sure what ever brand you buy can be services locally. So if you buy a toro mower, make sure there is a toro dealer nearby that can service it when something breaks down or goes wrong.

[@lovedsky1114]

Wow what a great insight..thank you cuz yr advice just give me a push to move forward

[@izzyh.3581]

I just bought a Toro 22 super recycler for $200 in great condition. I'm still looking for the edger/weed eater and blower. I'm starting out of a Mazda6, 4 door sedan lol. Thank you for your words of encouragement.

[@vincent2993]

The man the myth the legend! Keith Kalfas!!!!!!!

[@BeeDedicated]

Keith Kalfas, I listened to your book as well as Mike's. I started in lawn care, or more specifically, mowing, as an 8 year old. By the time I was 18, I had to choose between playing ball in college or pursuing my 6 figure business in a less than ideal market. I left the business behind. Fast forward 19 years and this past spring, I'm standing on my lawn when one of the three biggest names in my current city drove by and stopped. He got out and said, "man, I don't know what you know, but this is the best lawn by far in the entire area." Exactly one day later, another of the big 3 stopped and said, "how the hell do you do that?" Finally, two weeks later, the third pulls up, gets out and said, "do you mind if I walk on it?" Of course I said "go right ahead". He took his boots and socks off and walked around for 5 minutes. At that point, I went to "80% go". I own 4 other businesses, so I am no stranger to systems, procedures and time management. After some calculation, I began structuring my business. I added 134 accounts within the first month and expanded my services slightly. I now have an additional 300 on the books for fall and spring service. So, I can't say exactly how motivational the shade tree conversation in your book was, or Mike's book was for that matter because I was committed before I listened, but you guys were a confidence booster, and I appreciate you for that.

[@TheEc1ypse]

Thing with starting up this type of business is that all you need you already have. Chances are you have a lawnmower and a truck, or at least a car. Bring along that and a few rakes and your golden.

[@vandykeebbin4762]

I am thinking about starting my own lawn care and so I am trying to learn how to start. I am full time city worker so I will start part time doing lawn care and this video gave me some good ideas

[@UpFlip]

Great idea @Vandyke Ebbin! What part of the video stood out for you?

[@BlazeWeeded]

When i started, i started this year with a small murray push mower with no bag and a rake no weedeater. From that i uprgaded to a honda push mower still no weedeater. Now i have a truck. Didnt save much money since i focused on equipment like 3 weedeaters, 2 lawnmowers, blower, edger and a vehicle but im set and ill be more then ready next year thank the lord.

[@thecuttingforce]

Wow everything I had to learn on my own.. even the way you have to simplify things. Mowing is were the money is. Services. You go back to the same customer.. then they are your base for Landscape.. also. . I've learned the mentoring process own my owen still today I learn . You have to poke around for a little. Until you learn the rops.. but lawncare business I had to do completely on my own. Good for him. . Hope he dos good. And welcome to the lawncare community... its a friendly place.

[@lelecoq8434]

List of equipment to buy please?

[@artymunoz5060]

I bought a Stihl blower for 500, a used Honda 21 for like 300, a new weed eater for about 275, and started selling cleanups on the side, I used the money I made to buy everything else. Then with my paychecks from my job I would buy tools for the job I was going to do next and charge a little higher to make sure my tools bought themselves more or less and now I have everything I need to go solo.

[@yaseenomarloff1446]

Awesome 👏🏻 I’m from South Africa 🇿🇦 and starting in 3 days, bought a mower , brush cutter, blower , have my own pick up truck 🛻 that’s a bonus. So will start door 🚪 to door and take it from there 🙏🏻

Hey do you need a website?

[@Tobynsocks]

Essentially what Mike is doing is taking the idea for what McDonald's has done to the food service industry and applying it to Landscaping. Making things simple less-skilled less personal which in terms will increase profit but it's a customer service industry and for me there's nothing better than at the end of the day when you trim this little old ladies bushes and and she was so nervous cuz she had the same guy doing her bushes for 30 years and then you come in and do it better and she's just so happy you made her year by making her yard look better that's what it's about. And of course making some money. I'm in no way trying to hate on Mike because he does on for a lot of good advice and does want others to succeed which is commendable and I respect him for that but if you're just starting out your business doesn't have to be Augusta for you to be very successful and happy

[@MikeAndes]

I agree aside from the part about being impersonal. I would argue that technology and systems allow you to be MORE personal and have much better Customer service.

There's nothing wrong with doing what a guy like Florida Turf Pro has done and grows business to the point where makes him a good living he's happy comfortable in the business can almost run itself cuz you have good guys.

Getting the equipment is the easy part. Weedwhacker, push mower, rake. Doesn’t even have to be new.

How do you do this while in school?

[@UpFlip]

Hello, you might be able to start out offering your services to neighbors/friends & family after school as a side hustle and then can turn it into your full time job by the time you're out of school. :)

[@zestooo6932]
