I like your simple straight forward videos. They don't waste anytime getting to the point
Awesome advice.
As always great stuff! Would love to see some videos of you out in the field.
Casey Cooper I have some videos in mind for that. Finding a camera man is sometimes a challenge
I have a couple friends living in neighboring cities. We all started about same time using almost identical business. approaches. One had 15 accounts, one around 20, third 80 after first year. The only difference I could see in approach was demand. Some cities haven't reached full capacity for lamdscapers yet and if you are in one of these places you can grow very quickly.
Do a video on marketing a lawn care business to the community! I need some tips!
This is good info. Thank you!
Man your videos are great, how did you learn about all the fertilization and weed control? I have the Pesticide Applicator Certification Manual but it doesn't seem to tell me alot about what chemicals to use and for what weeds, do you recommend a book that tells the name of weeds and how to treat them? I live in Savannah GA by the way. Any help helps man! Thank you
Hi I am Nolo Adams that is great and the most important thing is that, the improvements. Thanks Anthony Adams
glad you enjoyed the video
master striping with your mower new potential customers can't resist the look
+clarence jackson Most of the grass types we have in the south don't stripe very well. I do like the look
Would lovd to get an update video for this past year. Great video thanks!
I've gotten around 450 customers now
Lawn Care Life killing it dude!
Congrats, hope you do even better next year!
What is your attrition rate (actual or anticipated) ?
Thanks for sharing all this valuable experience.
Dicofole I have lost about 3 or 4 customers so far. I think that is pretty good and I wouldn't be surprised to lose a slightly higher rate in the future. It is part of the business
been in lawn business for 26 years. do quality work customers will notice! I'm nin the south and fescue looks awesome when properly striped!
I know nothing about spraying. How do i learn so i can confidently offer it?
You up around Trussville Jason?
Do you find that your Google ranking is worthless now that most top sites are using Adwords?
You seem to be very knowledgeable in everything that you do. What selective herbicide would you suggest for use in lawns and for use in beds where grass is growing in?
Zach Harpel What type of grass in the lawn. I am in Alabama so I am only familiar with southern grasses. Where do you live?
Lawn Care Business The lawns here are predominately Tall Fescue here in Washington State. Thank you for your time.
North Carolina, what kind of spray should I use
This contractor I used to work with was getting 1 to 3 customers a day, almost all through Facebook. Fortunately, he was losing them as fast as he was getting them. He seems to have plateaued around 60.
This guy would have an accident at least once a week. All he did was rush jobs. He did all of his planning in his head & constantly forgot about customers. Still, the customers kept lining up.
+UnblockedOne2 It is a demanding industry with plenty of customers out there. Sometimes managing the business can be harder than getting customers
Other contractors pass on the spraying for a reason. They value their retirement and health too much.
long story short, i use to have my own tree service business, and after a few yrs or so, the phone would not stop ringing etc..., andyways, iam thinkin of begining a lawn mowing service, do u suggest advertising in yellow pages and craigslist and of course the internet . thanks good videso as always,
hunkydude322 I have never tried the yellow pages but I don't think it will work very well. Craigslist may bring a few customers. My best methods this year have been getting leads from my website which is ranked highly on google, getting referrals from lawn mowing guys (they send me fertilization/weed control customers), direct mail, and postcards.
Damn, I'm second post. Oh well.
diregremo maybe next time
The competition is ridiculous in my area. Everyone will cut a yard for 25 bucks, doesn't matter how big too.
grasscutter88 same here in my part of Texas, where do you live
here we have a cut and trim $20
I dont touch a lawn if its under $40. The people that charge $25 attract customers but you do not see them the following year. Under pricing will lead to business failure.
