The best thing about having repeat maintenance clients is you have predictable and steady income. And then you grow and narrow down to only the best customers and then your business is pretty much on auto pilot.

Hello, I know this is a bit of an older post, but I'm curious as to how you were able to have a landscaping business at 13, as you wouldn't have been able to drive at that point. Did you only operate in your neighborhood, did your parents drive you to people's houses, ect. Just wondering since I'm not old enough to drive quite yet and am looking at possible income opportunities. Thank you for your time, have a great rest of your day!

[@yakalb93]

​@game-rat I think he was referring more to the maintenance work. At that age, your local neighbourhood and area would be your best bet. Maybe offer mowing, whipper snipping, and basic pruning as your services?

For this guy to make 300k or more with an average yard being 100 a month, he would need at least 290 yards. With him only working 4 days a week, he has to do over 70 yards a day!!!

@@eveleinnyokabi California is ideal for lawn care. 👌 In spite of all the competition, there's STILL tons of work out here. Too much! Weather is absolutely perfect, lawns aren't huge, and you can easily get $160 to $200 on one client per month. The side gigs in tree trimming is where a lot of the money is at. Just last week I made $600 in 4 hours on a $1,450 job.. 2 of our guys did most of the work. If you don't like yard work or being outdoors then this job isn't for you. But if you enjoy being outside and doing lawn care, well, the reward can be life changing. My immigrant father raised a family of 5, bought our home, cars and took my sister thru college all thanks to lawn care. And he did it one lawn at a time. Today, he's boss man. He hasn't gone out on routes for a few years now. All he does is drive around in a separate company truck checking up on clients, delivering small plants, and giving estimates on potentially new clients. He hasn't pushed a lawnmower in probably 10 years. And that's because he doesn't have to anymore. That should always be your goal.

It’s possible to start with 300 dollars. If you’re mechanically inclined go on eBay and buy some old ass commercial lawn equipment that just need new carbs, replace the carbs and then use your personal vehicle and claim it on your taxes cus it’ll be eligible to be written off so then all you need is customers, start in the hood where the income is low and the grass is tall and offer 15 dollar lawn services but also call the city board for properties that need to be cut due to lawn violations and they prolly will pay you

Great success story

[@xavierdiazmcguire4667]

My teacher said he was making a quarter of a million per month before he sold his company. He had fifty employees.

[@UpFlip]

Thank you for watching Xavier. That's amazing. 😀Do you know why he chose to sell?

Everything stihl except for the chainsaw WHAT STIHL IS FAMOUS FOR

[@wonderingthoughts926]

Why are there so many of these videos based in the US with relatively ordinary businesses with some thumbnail saying $22,000!!! I assume we’re talking turnover because if we’re not then there’s something wrong with the USA.

[@UpFlip]

It's surprising how much money businesses make, regardless of the type; that's why we strongly encourage people to start one too 🙏

[@keith-kalfas]

This is epic.

[@UpFlip]

We appreciate you tuning in! Thank you! ☺️

[@berndtslawncare4906]

Love the video and your content

[@lawncaretoamillion]

Love this

[@jamesbarbosa5909]

Great channel!

[@Alexbell77]

I guess I should try having a landscaping company

[@charleslanphier8094]

I think 'Trim That Bush ' would be a good name for a landscaping business.

[@UpFlip]

That's very creative 😂

[@benjaminbissick6634]

Remember the trucking video …..please

[@UpFlip]

Yes, we've been trying.. unable to find anyone atm. But we did interview an amazing guy on our podcast just last week ;) Check it out!

[@alexromero6536]

I never understood the point of a edger. You can edge with the weed Wacker and it'll look better

[@alvinmendaros]

This guy makes 22k a month with no trailer or zero turn 🤔

[@DoctorRickSanchez]

_Yeah because this is one of his slower days.. watch the video._

[@Firstlaughindays]

I'm in Boca Raton and the market is completely saturated....I've found a niche in the industry that "nobody wants to do" and it's mostly labor.....I only started about 2 months ago and with only "free" advertising have been able to pull in 4 lawn maintenance accounts and 5 landscaping jobs 🎉.....

💖💖 LOVE YOUR CHANNEL,,💖💖

[@nathanprovost8534]

Great video and info my dudes

[@UpFlip]

Glad you love this video! Hope you also watch our other content and find value in them. Any business you want to see next? ☺️

[@acesh5606]

35% profit margin is not the right way to go in landscaping, you have to facter in you time+cost+mileage. So compare to your profit margin if I get you to do a job for me that is going to cost you $300 material + 5 hours in labor +35% that will be around $400. So you will make about $20 an hour - Tax so after tax would be around $15 after tax.

[@josephbaggett6022]

I’ve owned a company for 10 years, no way he is doing 300k lol

[@okaoalal3144]

Right I felt like he just giving the most basic information on how to prune trees

[@ryanjohnston2771]

Going on 10 years as well and exactly my thoughts. You ain't starting a lawncare business with $300 either.. very clickbaity, some decent advice, but not very practical.

[@dakotadobbs4431]

​@@ryanjohnston2771 it's really depends I know someone who started with a weed eater they found at a dumpster😂 a 50 dollar auction riding mower drove the mower to their yards now they got close to 100 clients

[@rrrajlive]

I would like to learn more from you. I'm your first subscriber. Can you please upload a video about starting up step by step. Things to Do and things to Avoid. Running the business and marketing/getting the clients etc. Thanks in advance 🙏

[@fenderstrat6519]

Seeing the lawncare shit is cringe.

[@Harriisonxb]

I love the Jesus Christ comment, great to see a man of Christ with a successful business

[@Findmylimit]

Just starting out

[@lynnmei4346]

When you started, how did you deal with hauling debris? I assume you already had a truck?
