I cut grass on the side while going to college I have 32 lawns, and these tips are all true, the number of companies that do not text customers if they get rained out amazes me. It is not hard to put all clients in a mass text message and let them know what is going on, communication is critical.
If you send out a mass text everyone will be able to reply on that group text. I certainly wouldn’t want to be in on that. Unless you have another way of doing it?
@@412Lawn a mass text sends the same message to everyone selected and then when they reply I get individual responses back. Group text is where everyone can see each others responses. Mass texting saves me time when I am trying to get the exact same message out to several people so that way I do not have to copy and paste. If you have an Iphone you can switch between mass texting and group texting in the settings. If you have an android you can just use Google messages and switch between mass and group texting.
That’s a great idea….But keep in mind, when you send a group text, you are now sharing your customers phone number with the other customers. Some customers might frown on that. JS 🤟
Goal is to earn LOYAL customers; you get more customers by word of mouth. The neighbours ARE watching. My son has his own business, and neighbours go out into the street and ask him to take on their yard. Learn how to repair equipment. Learn business skills, taxes, investment, worker’s comp, everything. Smile warmly and be polite to potential customers. You can keep your best customers. Once you’ve got their yard in order, it will be easier to maintain. My son uses an app to find the most efficient order to drive to each address; it shaved off 3 hours.
I started a mowing business this summer and I just went out and mowed and trimmed around the house. But I found your videos and have been watching them almost every night and I’ve learned so much. I’ve been just copying everything you do. I like how you teach with your videos. It’s been very helpful. And I’m starting to stand out from others cause I’m doin the crisp lines alone sidewalks and driveways. Thanks blades of grass lawn care!!
I am 15 amd just started like 3 months ago and i sometimes cut this lady house but she dont always got money and i cut someones yard every month that person just got me a customer and told them abt me and said i do a great job and hes traying to get me customers you have inspired me keep up the good work
Jesus Miranda If you got a computer or a laptop and a printer, make some flyers man, pass them out around every house. Stand strong and confident in yourself if you get to speak to a home owner and offer them what you got! You’ll get a bunch of customers in no time!
Thanks for the tips I’m 12 and have a small lawn mowing business I started. for now it’s mostly family neighbors and close friends I mow lawns for but, so far your tips helped me a lot and I’m making about 350 a week if I get clients and most of the money goes to supplies but so far I’m loving the business.
A big tip I have for anyone starting out, or just under 18, is BUY USED if it's gas powered. But make sure you know what is "good condition" or get mowers (for example) that need a carb clean, clean it, and maintain the mower.
@@josuemata1552 i mainly posted on nextdoor and asked my neighbors and put them in a weekly or bi weekly schedule. Charge a reasonable price. I charge 25 for front, back, edge, weedwack
Thank you for the video! I started my business about 3 years ago and i am 20 right now. I love what i do and the transformation of every yard i do is always a great feeling.
Hey how do I even cut grass I’m planning to buy one I want to learn to do crisp lines. Is there a school to teach me? Or do I do as I did as a kid and go up and down back and forth till it’s all cut??! I’m planning to get a sit down because pushing is one heck of a hard one. Neighbors are selling a sit down used for $200 maybe this is a good way to start? And what do you recommend? $10-20 each lawn every 14 days??
I started this spring and I have over 40 regular customers and I get 3 to 5 call ins every week. I use Facebook to advertise and it's great. I was able to purchase all new equipment without going into dept. Your videos really helped me out. Thanks. My only issue is pricing.
I have 8 clients in my neighborhood and they are all highly satisfied with my work. I use a Dixon ZTR 4421, Scott’s Reel, Craftsman self propelled, hyper tough wacker, and a John Deere blower
I’ve done this for 20 plus years and these are great tips for all. I’ve had some of the same customers for 10 to 15 yrs by sticking to some of these tips.
I own a Landscape Design and Installation company with my dad and a few other buddies. We have about 5 lawn accounts we do weekly and next year we’re going big with mowing. This video helps greatly. We’re in Charlotte, NC and we are called Specialized Landscape Finishing. Just wanted to say I love your vids and they definitely help me out
I just started up a lawn care business and im 21 with 4 yards. Had a previous lowkey business had 13 yards at 15 years old in a neighborhood i lived at with mainly elderly folk. They all were so nice to me and I appreciated everyone of them. They were as sad as i was when i moved from that location.
I can't thank enough for your tips. This is Phil Anderson-Evansville, Indiana. After going recovering from hip surgery-I hired this twenty year old from a neighboring town to do my mowing, edging & blowing off debris. He is just starting out with 1-2 helpers to assist with mowing & etc.. He has business cards made but, do not know if he has proper insurance or not. A could possibility he will have soon. Of course, at being twenty years old-He learning as he grows his business which may I tip my hat to you for offering some advice so I can pass it to him to help his business grow. Thx again from one veteran-101st Airborne Div. Vietnam-'69-70-2 Purple Hearts to another. Thx for your service. Keep up the great work! Take care, Phil
i appreciate all the tips Johnny and that what I am going thru .I am over extending myself. I do about 25 to 35 jobs a weeks and have reach my capacity with this business is one of the best landscapers in my area. Also you, Poppa Smoke and Q are one of the best landscaper that I have seen.
My wife and I have been at it for 3 years. I want to integrate one thing to what you were saying that is to be trust worthy. A lot of customers are in gated communities and have a lot of expensive stuff laying around.and I always text them 24 hours before I cut their grass incase they have something going on at their house, birthday parties etc.
I gave an idea. You could offer Blades of Grass academy during winter months. Have your guys teach folks how to mow and trim more efficiently. You could do classrooms and lectures on the business aspects. Make a deal with a local hotel( which the participants would stay at) and use their grounds/turf/ conference room as the training facility. Just a Thought. Love watching your videos. Going on my 4th year in business and watching you guys. 👍👍
I hope all is well. I just found your videos. This is the first one that I have found. i recently decided that I am sick of working for "the man" at the age of 34 after seeing the success of my wifes salon suite that we started. I decided that lawncare is something I can do and something that will scale to the amount of effort I put in. This has been the biggest deciding factor for me leaving the service industry. Your videos have been amazing so far and have cemented some of my current ideas/thought as well as adding or changing others. I can't wait to dive in and learn more. Thank you for taking the time for all of us to teach.
I've landscaped and mowed for about 8 years and now I'm doing it my self now and I'm just starting out.your video was helpful I did one job for a guy and I did a really good job and I got two more customers from it. Thank you
I live in Decatur Georgia and I have sooo many customers but not enough workers. I hired and been through like 30 guys because they would quit because of all the hard work.
Nice tips. I don't have a mowing company, but it's very interesting to read comments like this. It's also really nice to see the neighbors that do use a service, have it done by a good crew. For example, hate the company one of my neighbors use, they constantly mow into my yard and have wavy lines or circles, etc...
I like that anybody can watch your videos and see that anybody can do it. It just takes dedication and hard work. Thanks for sharing and being an example to tomorrow's leaders!
Great tips. Been doing garden maintenance in the uk for 5 years now and all of those tips apply. One thing ill add an almost necessity is, business immage keep your work area clean and keep that truck looking as good as you can. Image is everything.
I have one good larger property that I take care of. Last year I got myself the fancy mower. I love when im on the front yard and I see people admiring my work. I have no problem spending an extra hour to make my work look good
Oh yeah. Getting a schedule is REALLY handy. Waiting for a call/response got annoying so most of my jobs are set. But also with that, finding what days or how many days you can/will work is also very helpful In stress relief
Thanks Johnny 👊🏼🧔🏻. On the bus in Mississippi I told you my plans of driving a school bus when I start up. I keep remembering you shaking your head (No) the whole time. I still drive for USF Holland Freight 60+ hour weeks missing my window this year. But I've collected all my equipment now and ready for 2021 just servicing three yards this year. I'm questioning myself about the school bus job. It would cost me 4 hours a day. Appreciate you 👍🏼 hope I get to meet you again.
This has been my plan for a long time, problem is that I'm struggling with my work, and since stuff is getting very expensive that job only gives me enough for rent and car payment and the timing is horrible 3-4am - 2-4pm. I regret not getting a truck :/ to put my stuff in. so I can at least cut some lawns during the weekends.
Very helpful for me who is on the verge of a comeback. You were the first I studied and the very first I saw in my research. Thanks brother you are inspiring and let's me know what I can become if I just stay the course.
I grew up in swainsboro and midway GA I now live in north georgia and im 18 stating my own lawn care got everything but a edger right now glad to see a youtuber from ga though
Going up and above is called "Free Advertising". When the customer starts talking to their friends, or neighbors start asking for your number, you know you are doing it right. Remember, there is never another chance to make a first impression on someone. Many times, when a customer comes out with the money to pay me, I'll say "this one's on me!". They are stunned. You'll never lose a customer who is loyal.
Great advice Johnny thank you appreciate it just starting out on CZcams been doing a business for 15 years that’s some awesome tips to go by for the beginners. and heck yeah I learned something two today there is always room to improve thanks again
Knowledge is always good no matter how experienced you are. We should never stop learning or trying to improve. Thanks for taking the time to share! Pop smoke
Hi Johnny,great tips for beginners, I live by the idea that "your work is your best form of advertising". I think a lot of newbys think that because they see things on youtube that they should think its gospel, I live in a dry part of Australia, where i rarely mow every week. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks man. My friend and I were talking about starting a lawn care business and watching your videos makes me think that we can actually do it. Thanks bro you helped me out a lot
Great pointers and explanations! I’m looking forward to starting my lawn maintenance company and your pointers were a big help in formulating my strategy!
It really suprises me how you guys drive all over the customers driveway. The first time I worked in lawn care I got reamed for doing that and I've never done it since. Now it's a big peeve in my business.
I'm moving to the Duluth Georgia area soon and hoping to start up a side gig for lawncare. Thank you for the info and your videos are great! Best Wishes
Great video Jonny! I always look at how you guys work so I can learn and accomplish new things! Thanks for the help. Definitely would like more videos likes this!
I'm 14 and I just started up my business with a push mower. My brother told me to just do as good of a job as I can, and thats what I do. I want my customers to be impressed and want me to mow again. When I do a good job I am also just proud of it. Today I mowed 3 lawns and made $210. I think I am going to employ a friend to make it easier and knock out lawns quicker. I have been going with my brother because he (rightfully) thinks I need experience before I can just be dropped off. Also, do you guys think a bigger mower would be a good investment when I can drive? I live In a hilly area so im not sure.
Id you have a lot of hills then a walk behind will be great for your business because they hold the hills very well and with a sulky you can hop on and off when needed, best to you!!!
Great tips, John. You’ve got a great schedule and this must be of real benefit to newcomers. Keep sharing and POP SMOKE. The number 1 team, Blades of Grass 😀😀👍👍
My Man good video , 2 years in buisness just pulled out the company shirt . Good tips . Do it your way but utilise the ways that always have worked . Be good poppy Smoke and the brotha Q .
I have a mechanical mower I just push a button and walk with it and it’s way slower so idk what to do and the lawns are way bigger than these and I play 4 sports so it’s kinda hard
That's a really good video brother 👏 👍, I got a Mowing bussiness myself and it's an everyday life experience, but living in Arkansas we normally have to do it based on income!
Went from 3 2 yrs ago to now almost 10-15 on/off from word of mouth as I do quality over quantity & 30-1 1/2 hrs depending on yard size is my avg as I’m not gonna over work in this Florida heat/humidity..whatever makes you do quality over quantity that’s good for you being a 2 man crew as I rather ride solo unless being helped by someone I trust..👏🏻🤷🏻♂️
Question! Should I get a bag mower? To start? Sometimes it piles too high. Charge extra for pickup? Maybe my current mower doesn’t mulch good enough? Is mulcher enough? Thanks!
4 days a week.....🤔 Not everyone has that Army pension coming in starting their business.😉 Like you said, that's what worked for you. Most people have to grind it out especially in the beginning.

Went from 3 2 yrs ago to now almost 10-15 on/off from word of mouth as I do quality over quantity & 30-1 1/2 hrs depending on yard size is my avg as I’m not gonna over work in this Florida heat/humidity..whatever makes you do quality over quantity that’s good for you being a 2 man crew as I rather ride solo unless being helped by someone I trust..👏🏻🤷🏻♂️
👍
Question! Should I get a bag mower? To start? Sometimes it piles too high. Charge extra for pickup? Maybe my current mower doesn’t mulch good enough? Is mulcher enough? Thanks!
Great tips, you’re help is awesome thanks
Glad to hear it!
Great advice and well thought out. I can see why you do so good.
I appreciate that!

Not everyone has that Army pension coming in starting their business.😉
Like you said, that's what worked for you. Most people have to grind it out especially in the beginning.
Good tips though for real.
Proverbs 14:23 "All hard work brings profit, but talk only leads to poverty."
Chop Chop guys! It's out there. Go geddit! 💵👍💯
ARMY pension, two buildings, tree rentals, two online stores, a plethora of passive income, and sponsorships, etc. If you are going to bust me out let's get it right 😂 Thanks!
