Starting a Successful Lawn Mowing Business

I make between $20 and $40 an hour from mowing lawns. It's hard to get the ball rolling in the beginning, but once you have your customers it's all downhill. Here are some tips for starting a successful summer lawn mowing business.

Okay so the first thing you have to do is get your customers. You'll want to cut a lot cheaper than the professional mowers around you. For me $20 dollars for a normal residential lawn is a good price to ask. Make sure that you know how to mow, and if you can offer to trim or blow for the same price you'll get rid of some of your competition. 

The next thing you have to do, after getting your customer, is satisfying them through the entire summer. This can be hard sometimes, depending on the customer. Make sure that you do a good job every time. Not just when you think they're watching, because they see the lawn everyday. Make sure you talk to your customer. Ask them if your doing everything they want done.

This is the painful topic. Paying for gas and equipment. Paying for equipment counts new machinery and repairing the old stuff. I paid for all that stuff by mowing my parents lawn for free. This is a sweet way to go about it. Another way to do it would be to split it half and half with your parents.

Now after the season has ended make sure that you let your customers know to keep you in mind for next year, if you plan on mowing next year. 

I hope this helped! Please share this with anybody you think this will benefit. Leave a comment(s) with any questions.
