I love it! I am starting my business this year after 7 years of working in banking as a marketing director and being sick of the corporate world. I worked in landscaping for 6 years before that. So I have experience in both marketing and landscaping. Thankfully I had a decent amount in savings, so I have rolled out a marketing campaign/built a website/got verified/wrapped my truck - I already have 7 weekly residentials and 1 commercial account months before the season has even started and have 4 more bids scheduled, all within 2 weeks of announcing the business. I got a trailer, a craftsman M320 push mower, a john deere Z330M zero turn, and an echo trimmer/blower. And a bunch of other misc. stuff. This has not been a cheap adventure!
This is a good video. Over half a decade in the game. It’s a great setup. After three years I throttled my business back to almost something exactly like this.
Try to do a low budget lawn care setup under 500 there are some people doing this that don't even have that much cash I think you would appeal to the other half that can't afford what you got
I mean you could start with a push mower or walk behind, weed eater and blower for $2k or less equipment wise. If you have a suv you’ll need a small trailer, if you already have a pick up truck you’re good to go. But if you want a real set up you’re gonna be lookin at about $20k for sure. And you haven’t even marketed yet. Takes money to make money 🙏
Agree my regret going with a 6x10 instead of my 5x10 I need that extra room got mine from Northern Tool 5 years ago around $1000. FB market is definitely the place to go!!!!!!
I did everything via credit besides the trailer. Got the trailer 8.5x14 for 5k. Got the competition for racks at equipment defender. Got the 2 mowers all handheld equipment for 15k. Can't complain got into the game for 400$ a month
New Subscriber Here! Awesome setup for the solo operator or even with a helper. Love the cargo buckles for the trailer gate. My pin latches are so worn. Looking forward to watching your other videos.
Sweet setup! That trailer looks really clean, love the black with green color scheme! Do you have any videos using the catcher & tarp? Just subscribed, looking forward to watching more of your videos! 🌱
Great tips your setup makes a lot of sense. If you like that ego trimmer you may want to try the rear motor version. Not the power head but the dedicated rear motor trimmer, it’s awesome but it might spin the opposite way of what your used to.
Nice setup! I'm curious what type of revenue this could produce in a season? Typically I see much more elaborate setups but not sure it is worth the extra cost.
@@briandewolfe22 I made a 5x8 trailer with 4' tall sides, but I also put plywood on the gate, probably a horrible idea for aerodynamics and fuel efficiency, but I used small chains on the back to keep the gate from falling if going over very bumpy terrain. Anyways, love that strap idea and with leaves the mesh gate will keep them in. Thinking in a few years my boy needs a trailer to start a small lawn mowing business in his teens.
He didn’t start that though been doin the tarp thing for years and years it’s not something new and if we’re gunna give credit to anyone about that it should be @countryside he’s the first person to put a video on you tube how to make them
Tbh I only bought it bc I already owned lots of Milwaukee tools and I figured it would be nice to have more Milwaukee batteries. It’s not that great of a mower.
So when you trim shrubs and lawn clean-ups where's the pile of junk going? Take it away or leave it inna pile somewhere? You have no room on the truck or trailer. Or maybe you just cut grass only?
@@briandewolfe22 I asked but I hadn’t finished seeing your video . Even with my readers I thought I saw fence pickets but after ya showed the plywood it was the left front corner that from a distance looked like em . Cool way to be a solo operator.
