How Much Money Can You Make With A Lawn Care Business
Watch the video below for a demonstration.
Summer’s grass mowing season is coming to an end. Leaf raking takes over.
How do I know this? Is it the shorter days? Is it the cooler nights? Is it the lengthening shadows? Is it the falling leaves? Is it the start of football season?
Summer is coming to an end.
No, none of these things tell me that summer is coming to an end. I don’t need a weatherman or a calendar. I only need to take a walk through my local Walgreens to see a “25% Off Summer Toys” sign to let me know that the lucrative and profitable grass mowing season will soon come to an end.
Actually, if you own a lawn care business, there is NO NEED TO PANIC. Though it is already the end of August, many lawn care companies (especially in the southern states) will be mowing grass well into November. And, if you don’t make enough money mowing grass for the next two month, leaf raking season should easily carry your lawn care business well into next year.
So, when you see signs of summer’s end, rest assured that there are still PLENTY of opportunities to make a TON of money mowing grass raking leaves for the next several months.

Spring is almost here and we have been blogging quite a bit lately about attracting new lawn care clients.
What kind of clients are you trying to attract this year? Individual residences, homeowner’s associations, real estate agents, and business complexes should all be within a lawn care business owner’s customer mix. A diversity of clients makes a stronger lawn care business. If there is a downturn in one sector of a lawn care company’s client list, the other sectors will buffer the hardship. For example; we received an email from a lawn care business owner last year who focused all his attention in previous years on a single industrial complex. The money was great and his drive time between customers was minimal. However, at the beginning of last year businesses began suffering greatly due to the economy and the lawn care business owner lost over 75% of his revenue from that one complex.
There is one customer we did not mention above; landlords. As the nation’s economy begins to get back on track this year, we think landlords, once again, are a great source of revenue. Landlords definately want a bargain for their money but on the positive side most landlords own multiple units and they can give you a steady stream of work to fill gaps in your schedule. Landlords understand the value of curb appeal and they are more than willing to pay you a fair price to keep their properties looking great for their renters (and prospective renters).
Do you want to add a landlord or two to your lawn care customer client list? Do you want to charge these landlords more than they are willing to pay. Landlords are very protective of their property investments and a great strategy of proving your worth to a landlord is to show him you will care for his property when you are mowing. Landlords hate having to make repairs and they hate air conditioner problems. When you are speaking with a landlord about mowing his property mention that you always take special care to blow the grass away from the air conditioner unit. Grass can clog the cooling fins and repairs are costly.
Grass and leaves can cause air conditioner problems.
Impressing a landlord client will mean you can charge more money and he will tell his other landlord friends about your services.
If you want to learn more about how to generate a proper mix of lawn care clients for your lawn care and landscaping business, our lawn care business strategy guide book will show you how. Also, our estimating software will help you with your quotes so you can operate a successful and profitable lawn care business.

How To Start A Lawn Care Business
If you think the leaf raking season is over, you might want to think twice before putting the leaf rake away until autumn.
Last week, after a 7″ snowfall had finished melting, I was driving through a few local neighborhoods checking on lawn conditions. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a sign proclaiming: “Leaf pickup. This area next. Last Round.” This morning, I heard the familiar high-pitched whine of the county’s leaf vacuum as it made one last pass through our city’s streets. If you’re still hoping to make money raking leaves, don’t give up yet.
While most lawn care customers have long since composted all their leaves, late leaf fall due to winter winds and a procrastinating public make it necessary for leave trucks to make one last pass during January. If you are in an area of the country where leaf pickup is an ongoing concern even during January, it’s time to grab your gloves and leaf rake so you can make some much needed money during this long winter season.
Don’t forget, if you want to make money raking leaves, proper pricing is essential so you can make great money for your lawn care business. Our “start a lawn care business” training package teaches you how to bid lawn care jobs including leaf raking. You can learn more on our main website:

Leaf Pickup. This Area Next. Last Round
I am sure many of you noticed that Wednesday, September 22, 2010 was the Autumnal Equinox. This year’s full Harvest Moon rang in the new season.
Temperature wise there was not much of a change as we are still reaching the low to mid 90’s each day. However, there is a chill in the air once the sun sets. The sky is golden and the leaves are definitely changing. Though summer is over, I hope you are weighing your options carefully for the upcoming season. Here in the southeast we have had scant showers the last 6 weeks. I am sure the lack of precipitation will change as weather patterns will alter in the near future. Autumn rains will bring bursts of growth as parched lawns rejuvenate for one last chlorophyll-laden green up before winter arrives.
Lawn care business owners who are prepared will be able to take advantage of their customers’ need for “one last mow.” In reality, one last mow can easily turn into 4 or 5 mowing cycles with plenty of leaf raking and winterizing jobs.
Though the sun is climbing lower on the horizon, there’s still money to be made, guys. Now is not a time to get lazy. If you hustle, you can put some much needed money in the bank in the months before winter.
Do you want to know how to keep your lawn care business running all winter long? Our lawn care business training course shows you how to make money even during the cold months.
