$600 in a day MOWING GRASS Solo (How to Start/Grow Your Lawn Care Business) 

I am glad I came across this video. I actually just doing lawn mowing services and it has been helpful. I get a call just about everday. I’m am thinking of doing this full time on the weekends. I have a a full time during the week for benefits, this would be to start my own business and have extra cash to have. Also I’m doing this for my son Liam, who will be on this earth in 3 months. I’ve never felt a love like this before. 😊

I like this guy, "Just do it." So true. It's about getting started and going.

Im 17 and I am in the process of starting my own lawncare business through my neighborhood. I have never done something like this before so I will humble myself and keep watching your chanel so that I can learn more of what to do when it comes to lawn care/ proper lawn mowing techniques

The truck setup is genius

This is THE VIDEO I always needed. I've been planing to start up a mowing business for last 4 months now. Im 19 y.o and in 2 months I will move to anorher country for education. I was wondering how could I start this business and I wasn't really sure what to do. I can't believe I found a youtube channel that accurate to my dreams.

This is what I’m talking about … we have people like you making 600 dollars a day mowing…MOWING ! Yet again we see people jobless because they are lazy… keep up the good work bro!

I wish that I could find people to cut their lawn for just even half that. Where I live people won't pay no $65 when I tried 3 years ago half the people didn't even want me to do it for 20. So good luck and keep up the good work. And I'll keep watching. You guys do good work.😊

I appreciate you making this. Starting my 4th Business with this and I actually want to be out there cutting. I did it 5 years straight growing up for my dads company and today is the day I start my own

Older retired guy looking for a new venture. Thinking of starting a lawn care business. You are inspiring, thanks alot!

As a fellow vet, super proud of your hard work brother. I'm talking to my 16 yr old to help him learn this as a hustle. I'm half tempted to do it myself honestly. 1 day a week to bring in some extra cash flow. But for a 16 year old he could really make some good money doing this. His only issue he has is his social skills he is very recluse.

Im a very young man looking to start a official lawn care business with a couple friends who are just as dedicated as me and this video has been very helpful in the category of pricing and efficiency. Also you are greatly appreciated for your time in the service and I wish nothing but greatness and success upon you.

I'm so thankful I came across your video, I've had some experience doing lawn care at home and for my grandparents, aunt, I've been thinking of starting a side hustle with lawn care but I wasn't really sure on how to do so, but seeing this video really help me. Thank you

Thank you! My son is eager to start a lawn care business and this helped a lot, I’m convinced to do this with him!!😊

In my area south Florida I charge $50 up to 8,000 square feet measuring total property. not just turf. I mow with a 36 Toro proline walk behind with a sulky solo.

I am also a fellow vet. I am currently a special education teacher and I mow my elderly neighbor's lawn every week. She pay me $40. I am thinking about starting my own lawn care business on the side and on the weekends. Its a little intimidating thinking about everything that needs to be setup before you pull that cord, but this kind of content helps a lot! Thank you.

Really enjoy the video. One thing that may be worth mentioning is Sales = more money, efficiency = profit margin

I've been in the lawn business for thirty-six years never got rich just old and nothing but lots of aches and pains .It has been very hard to keep going with the rising costs of gas and insurance I'm ready to call it quits and start my own homestead and grow my own food and butcher my own animals wish I would have quit years ago!

It’s definitely a great Job/Side Hustle. The hard part is the competition, so many people are doing lawn care these days

Thank you my friend i have a Mobile Car Detailing business and you just inspired me to start my loan mower business thanks 🙏

My Lawn Service the key factor as I found with my Lawn Service is attitude if you’re a nice person and you let them know that you are and you’re willing to work with him they will even pay more money to keep you. I have gotten so many tips good tips from being on time, listening to the customer and taking the time to go talk to them I’ve had so many customers that I’ve gone because of other companies have ran through there and didn’t take time to say good morning or anything and just be nice to the customer and make them feel important. I’ve gotten so many jobs from other companies that, they just didn’t talk to the people. I know you have to make money and I know time is money but invest the time into talking to your customers will meet the attitude makes a heck of a difference. I hope this helps somebody just really be nice and feel like you care for the people that you’re working for good luck.

I’m in DFW and been in landscaping business since 2014. There are so many areas and new houses being built. So there is definitely competition but enough for anyone who works hard to eat. I charge basically square footage not hr. Most of these yards take around 30-40 mins front and back if your athletic and high quality equipment. You charge weekly or bi weekly. Most small or medium yards he just done are around 40-50$. I charge straight up now taxes or anything. I haven’t worked for anyone since I started my landscaping company when I was 23. Turning 33 this Nov and if you live in DFW it’s been 🥵 af the last month. But we outside getting 💰 ✂️ 🌱

Smart idea to have the trimmer line so easily accessible while on the job. Efficient and awesome! 👏 😎

Was planning to start my own lawn mower business.. thanks for the great knowledge.. from Fiji.

I did lawn care for a company for 2 years and fell in love, i got a career at a airline and sounds crazy buty i miss mowing and always wanted to start my own

Average, middle class subdivisions here in the St. Louis Mo. suburbs are between $30-$40 to cut, trim and blow. If you tell ANY of them it's going to be $67 ... they'll slam the door in your face.

Man thanks for the video I'm trying to learn as much as I can about this tired of working for other people and wanting to work for myself and really thinking about a mowing buisness

My man! Thanks so much for sharing Your knowledge, as well as all the great information . I’m in the initial phase of starting my Home Services Business, and I gained a lot from Your video. It will prove to be time well spent. Im totally changing careers and plan on building something great. I’m getting my machinery tomorrow and can’t wait to get started. Those lawns aren’t going to cut themselves 😂 also Thanks for Your Service!

Loved the video! I have a quick question: why do you use a 21" mower instead of a 30" one that would still fit inside of the truck bed?

bro good stuff keep up the work, only just started lawn mowing over the last month. this really gave me some clarity on how much to charge, Honestly like no excuses for giving out flyers even if there just from your printer, hustle!!

You are ripping up turf with that edger @Will Kelly leaving patches on the lawn!

I seen it done before no lie actually worked with a guy who did 10 yards a day everything in-between 45 to 65 dollars a yard foreal seen it an done it keep up the good work partner......

As always Will, love your work!!! Thank you will for everything! So you would recommend the Toro Commercial mower, not a residential mower correct? I am about to get one. How much would I be looking at? Also, how do I calculate the pricing for each yard. Still a little off on this metrix. Also the first cut of the year or of a new customer of a overgrown yard? Thank you as always Will. Chad - Red Rock Lawn Care

Your truck is so beautiful, and it really hit home for me I’m currently working out of a 2005 Chevy uplander with the back seat taken out all the weed tears and blow and maintenance tolls are in the back and my lawnmower is in the middle seat, my lawnmowers are little craftsman that I got of the side of the road the whole pull rope assembly was missing and it had gunked up fuel lines and I ordered parts and fixed her myself and now she runs like a champ! one day ima have a truck I just started last week for me it is hard finding clients as everyone seems to already have a guy but ive got a couple of customers now and will stay hunting!

bro driving around beverly hills saying "this is where we started with nothing"

Im at about 550 for lawm cutting. I dont use trailers i just lift my mower. Just have the one day so far a week but starting to fill up another day and have other 3 for big jobs

It's sad that you make more mowing in a day than I make mowing in 2 weeks at a university in Texas because we get "insurance" it's ridiculous how little they pay us.

Can you make a video on how how to get a consistent schedule for yards through out the week?

I have a swampy area in the lowest portion of my back yard that can't always be mowed due to all the moister. So my lawn guy said he would cut it manually and charge me at an hourly rate. Seemed fair enough so I agreed. Two guys showed up, took them two hours to get it done. He billed me $500!

Just found your channel and you deserve way more subscribers.

First and foremost thank you for your service. Your video help me stay motivated I just open my lawn care business have no customer yet but I did what you mention I did some flyers and pass them out this past Monday.👍🏽

Thank you for posting this it really helps. Really want to start a business but just don't know where to start

I live in Alaska, and I’m planning a lawn care service during the summer and during the winter I do plowing.

I like your videos. In my area lawn services are oversaturated and i’ll be lucky to get half the properties you do in a day. Most of my yards i’d do were for people that can’t physically do mow or do any kind of yard work themselves. I’ve been out of mowing for a while and I had to move and I have no room to store my equipment.

I have a small lawncare business in Colorado Springs - "In Season, Out of Season Yard Care." I think my pricing metrics are a bit off. I inherited the set accounts & pricing from the gentleman i bought the business from, and I think most are fair or fairly low. I'm not using an $80/man hour metric on the mowing, but i do use a $69/man hour (plus dump fees) pricing for spring/fall clean outs. The former business owner wanted me to raise the prices after I acquired the business, but I didn't want to start out that way. This is my second full year, but I'm not sure how to augment my pricing, except for small, incremental increases from year-to-year. I'm trying to get rid of my restaurant/server job and do this REALLY FULL TIME. I currently have 26 customers (more than half of which are weekly mowings), and if I reach 35, then I can call it a day at the restaurant. That's my short-term plan. What advice does anyone have to offer?

Man I knew your name was familiar ! I’m in outside sales in construction and I’ve had to be in that area of Texas quite a bit - this is awesome !

I pay $37 to lawn mowing. And 3 people need to work for 10 mins. Thats about $70 per hour per person. And you make $600, that gonna be 9 hours per day. I live in the 2nd most expensive area across US. And just noticed you use push mower. You really work hard!!! And I have 6000 sqf lawn. So for a 8000 sqf lawn, my current company will charge $40~$45.

dang bro, that's a nice truck bed ramp. My truck isn't even close to being that lowered and it's all stock.

You guys ought to try to get a cheap Ryobi to do some trimming. It's battery but it's real light and cuts well at least for trimming. Just a suggestion. Keep up the amazing work 👍.

love the back end pay per hour explanation. great video man

bluds overcharging, im cutting much larger lawns with edging/weed trimmings included for 20-30 which take at least 50 minutes

Thankyou soo much for your video I'm living in Camada and me and a couple buddies are looking into starting a small landscaping Company and this video helped me a lot

Starting my business back! Great channel. I love your setup. I’ll be doing the same this time around.

This video is super helpful, i have 6 years experience in this field but recently i’ve been having the desire of working by myself but to be honest i’m kind of scared but ill never know if i never start, right?….. Nice video btw, super inspiring and satisfying.

I've been thinking about getting started in lawn care myself.

Im 16 yrs old,thinking of cutting lawns as a job to buy a new guitar,thanks for the tips so far man

Great vid. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to help others.

Hi I have just started doing gardens myself I can’t believe people pay that sort of cash in America I live in the north of Scotland and I have been gettin about £50 for a big really overgrown garden I am ruffly makin around £140 a day I have just started up but maybe the more experience I get I will start taking on different jobs and charging more 👍🏻😁

love this guy, i aspire to be like you one day big dawg

Great video Will. Watching from Australia. Keep it up. Soaking all this info to hopefully start my own mowing business 👍

When you say you make that much in a day, are your customers paying you each visit? Or are you being paid monthly but that’s what each cut comes out to? Sorry if I missed that in the video. Great work!

Very inspiring and very insightful

Great video, I live in your area, I'm honestly shocked how much your getting per yard, I will be increasing my prices for next season.

You’re talking about your turnarounds I started laughing because it’s a push mower😂 you only worry about turnaround on a commercial mower, but I would be more than glad to give you any advice that I’ve been given or have accumulated

very inspiring

I'm just looking at getting into residential mowing and snow removal..... I guess the biggest thing is to just start

Some Businesses charge $175 an hour. The difference is they do cut down small scrub trees, the lawns are usually way overgrown and vines growing up the sides of the houses and much bigger lots. I know this requires larger equipment .

MAD, MAD RESPECT! KEEP SLAYIN'!

You’re buddy from prosper, love the content! It’s been a min since we last talked. I’m a EMT/FIREFIGHTER but thinking of getting in the business but on the fence.

Fantastic, thorough and informative video. many thanks for sharing your inspiration and wisdom. Do you collect grass cuttings as part of the job, as i saw your mower didnt use a bin? Thanks MJ

Hey big will, you ain’t kidding! Looking forward to learning from you big dawg!

I want to do landscaping as a side hustle! I’m practicing on my front and backyard every 3 to 5 weeks, I’d say I’m getting better but my only problem is edging the grass in a straight line🤦🏽

Thank you for the great information and really showing step by step

Great video Will. Thank you for the advice.

I'm doing this too ,just me and my son cutting grass

I would love to start a lawncare business. I live in a small town and I would feel bad charging the people here 80$ an hour. Some of the yards are bigger, but I just don't have any idea what my hourly should be.

Wait go out and mow lawns get a customer base Or get a business license and any other licenses first then get customer bases

I am watching from France brother. Very good content ! Loved the calculations at the end. You seem to use a special software, what's its name ? Keep goin ! You are doin good ! Your French Mower Brother =) God Bless

I appreciate this video a lot. 16 years old just now starting a lawn care buisness. thanks a lot man

I have the same truck!! I love that rear setup!

We made $560 today on 4 lawns and 1 clean up. Woohoo. Keep mowing.

I’m just starting my own lawn mowing service this spring and I’m looking for reasonable price I sorta started last year but this year I’m officially starting im getting the business cards and magnets for my truck doors and yes I know it’s hard work but it won’t be much work with a zero turn with a 60 inch deck with a hexidogon shaped deck I can cover a lot of areas that u would weed wack

Hey Will, nice video, very informative. Let me ask you about the racks for the weed wackers and leaf blower, what brand and where can I buy it. Same for the mesh ramp. Thank you.

I’m glad that I came across this vid I’m trying to start my own lawn mowing business. What are the steps and motivation I need to become successful in this type of business ? Your very inspirational and inspire a bunch of people, I look forward to seeing more videos

I'm glad I found your channel, I started my lawn cutting biz two weeks ago and my first job was 6 properties owned by Teo men renovating these 6 homes. A bit stressful since it's just me, have a small suv to put everything in and kinda screwed up on the estimate part for the 6 places. But I'm learning how to properly price jobs. I charge 40 an hr bud need to stick to giving bids instead of saying my hourly rate lol. So long story short I kinda missed out on 260 bucks worth on these first jobs. Anyways from here on out I'll just give them a time frame and do the math in my notebook.

Will your fast as hell on those yards bro🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice technique boss man very good for us for learning yall explain step be step good video

Yes all well and good if your fortunate enough to work in these wealthy suburbs. Your clients are not pensioners or battlers, you are also very possibly living in these high end areas. Try earn easy money in working class areas. I know this because i have been a lawn mowing contractor for 10 years. My experience and speed is beyond many. Just my 10 cents worth.

I see to many ppl weeding after they mow. I personally weed 1st so there is no clippings on top of a freshly mowed grass. Looks nicer and some of my customers have mentioned that they like me doing it that way. 😁 makes you feel good when they are happy and the fact they pay attention to detail.

Thats a pretty good price if you only mulch. My truck is full of grass end of day

I really like it bro, thanks for this informative video.

Hey nicely done great tools to do that job!!

Damn. That first lawn in my area would be probably around $30-35.

Dude, I'm in Australia, just starting out. I'd pay $100 easy to to have a ready make pricing structure.

I've already spent money on new equipment. My plan is to work out of my 2013 honda civic coup, lol. I was planning to bolt on a custom tow hitch and place one of those small trailers with a ramp on the side thats used for an electric chair lol. I have to start somewhere.

Would you consider adding other services (liming, pest/weed control, etc) to expand your business?

Thank you for the content. New to professional landscaping. The matrix would be very helpful

Hey checkout the zero turn kits for your push mower it will save you a lot of time and effort

what ever you wanna make that's what you charge, no spreadsheet needed. know your own worth and charge accordingly

I remember when kids used to offer to cut my lawn for $20. ;)

I'd recommend charging $60-$70-$80 or higher depending on not only your service providence, but also your gas. You need to pay gas for both machines, mowers, and vehicle at the end of, or during the rout/ day. So you'll come off with half to little of the money you had earned. That being said, you'll want to charge how much your service is worth, as well. You'll also want to save most the money you earn to purchase more equipment later in the future.
