Fun talk as always. I try to tell people what Bermuda wants and needs to grow fast and thick, must of the time people do what they want. Especially with small bare spots or where something was removed, the Bermuda will spread and cover up the spot in a season or two. Water, Sun, fertilizer. Pay when done Thank you.
On the ones that pay monthly year round I still show up. I may skip cutting but I'll touch up a tree or bushes or beds etc. I don't want them to feel cheated if I don't go all month.
I agree Ray that paying per service is the best way to go. I have about 80% of my clients pay per service. I probably have 5% that pay up front each month and 15% that pay at the end of the month. I’m okay with monthly as long as things go okay and I build trust with the client. Also with businesses and HOAs you almost have to go monthly to get the work.
I charge everyone on the 1st of the month for the cuts that are scheduled for month. That way I have my money first before I cut. I have zero issues with that.
Hey Ray Ray great video 😊 I got sort of 1 our agreement is he pays for half a season in advanced and the I mow till the whole season is over and then I collect the rest. We been doing this for years, works pretty good for me. Take care Ray Ray and God Bless 😊
All repetitive maintenance like mowing Card on file charged on spot, All other services and installation work 50% deposit remainder due day completed. Been this way for years and never looked back saved me so much hassle
Get paid after job is done, period!! Happy 4th of July and thank you for the video sir 👍😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸P:S: if a plumber comes by and does repairs they pay him after he finishes. If a/c repairman comes to fix your unit he gets paid after the repair. It’s the same thing with lawn care!!! Just my humble opinion 😎
Most of mine pay at the beginning of the month and show up regardless. If I dont cut I may spray. Or do a few odd and ends instead. A few pay per cut and those I will skip if asked.
I do biweekly payments. If I have a customer wanting to pay monthly I kindly explain to them that you are wasting money that way because I will add a minimum of 10% and if you decided to not have it mowed because of it being too dry or for any other reason then you still owe me the agreed amount plus the minimum 10%. That usually shuts up a customer about paying monthly when you tell them they will pay you whether you mow or not and it will cost a minimum of 10% more.
@@rayrayslawnlandscape2008 I also forgot to say this. If a customer calls and wants it done early because of an event/holiday, I will fit them into the schedule for an additional 15% to interrupt my weekly schedule. Just food for thought, I'm not trying to be hard on my customers but they have to remember my time and other customers are just as important as they are!
I like to get paid time off service, I have a few that’s monthly and a few that paid for the year, it’s easier for me to keep up with, if I have a choice of go cut a monthly or go cut a pay at service, I’m cutting time of service first
Got three customers that pay monthly one at the end of the month two at the first One pays a flat rate every month The other two pay for how many cuts that month

I got one that pays monthly. I don’t mind I know she is good for it. No problems for three years anyhow.
I usually don’t have an issue with getting paid and the ones that have been in the past I require they put card on file
