How to Mow a Lawn Like a Pro (Best Tips & Techniques)
I know it is a very valuable thing but I could only pay 20$ for the pricing because I am a student and want to start it next spring and I want to proce it correctly right away.
hey man, i got the 10k needed for me to start up my mowing business for residential clients. I was wondering in your opinion what was the best way or your best way of getting clients? is it google ads? door knocking? both? facebook marketplace? craigslist ads?? I'd love your input. Take care!
Congrats on getting started! I recommend watching my very last long form video I just posted called watch this first before spending money on marketing and it will answer your question.
@@TheWillKellyhell yeah! thanks!
This is great demonstration of how this system works. What Bank do you use for this and how long have you been using it?
Thank you! We use a bank that doesn’t cost us money to open multiple account. 😃
Karen's can actually cost you money. It has gotten easier over time to fire them. I just tell them we aren't a good fit and to go somewhere else
That’s the best way to do it!
Monument to the rescue
I should check that out!
Will, based on your company's CAC, what are your 3 best marketing performers ranked from #1 to #3? Steve
1. Website 2. Truck Decals 3. Door Hangers
How to you price out/ quite fall leaf clean ups? Also, I think it would be cool to get an updated all included targeted price ranges for each common task a lawn care guy might be faced with the opportunity to quote?
We just charged per budgeted hour for the job.
First? I guess
I make $50 a yard and average about half an hour
Nice!
Lol I'm going to do this to the rich People 500$ To setup the garden bed install mulch 1k to plant all the plants
There you go!
I was putting my lawn mower in the back of my car to😂😂😂😂
That’s awesome!!
You give good advice WK, keep em coming. I love watching your content.
I appreciate that!
Aww man. Theres always that one customer that you just have to let go. But to show up, is Karen level crazy!
Yes it is!
I want the time I spent watching this video back, please.
Thanks for your support!
Dont care shes probably correct you look lazy
erm
Ashton Kutcher
Is that who I look like? Lol
Great video! Thanks for sharing. And congrats on doing so well in your business!
Thanks so much!
Gas for work truck and equipment
That’s a good guess!
Yea its weird wen they come to ur house u know ur been doing lawn care a minute one guy dragged me put of bed to aerate wen i was twenty didn't realize he was just using my company for his gain now i know
Thanks for sharing!
Yea I've had lady complain every week or so for ten years I stopped saying sorry lol I just mow blow and leave lol
That’ll work!
The situation you’re going through Will reminds me of Mikes GM in 2023
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the video! I've dealt with similar issues. However, I've never had anyone show up at my house. Maybe it's because a large percentage of North Idahoans pack heat... LOL!
Oh snap! Yeah you definitely want to be careful with that! Lol
What is your thought on using fabric under mulch? It seems like weeds and grass - the stuff the fabric is intended to stop or slow - still grow through it, so not needed??
We don’t offer fabric installs. The has coming back over time keeps us busy maintaining the beds. 😃
Karen 😂
Haha I had to. 🤣
Love these videos!
Thank you!
I made $1,200 in about 12 hours this week cutting 27 lawns. I use the $80/hr standard but Im trying to bump that to $100/hr. I work by myself.
This is awesome!! Thanks for sharing!
Enjoyed the video & info
Glad you enjoyed it
And impossible to watch while I’m working because I have to stop every four minutes to skip a commercial
Aww dang sorry about that! I gotta keep the lights on somehow. 😃
Will, do you have a specific Fall leaf cleanup flyer/door hanger to share. Steve, Rhode Island.
I don’t. We did flyers for 2 years in the fall and didn’t have great return on investment.

@@TheWillKelly No problem. I am interested in lawn care. But I just got to thinking it's going to be fall soon. But what about fall and winter? How does your lawn care business make money during those seasons?
whos your CPA - we drive ours crazy with all our accounts.
We use a local firm and same haha
Hey wassup man i just have question , i wanted to get into lawn care servicing i dont have a license i live in California i was thinking of just cutting grass without a license and just go for it just cutting and trimming no spraying chemicals near my neighborhood. Do you think i should do it ? Or how should i approach it , what do you recommend?
I would look into the law, cost of getting a business license and the penalty without having one. Weigh out the options and see if you could get a small handful of customers to start and over a few months take the revenue you earn from them to get you your business license so you can grow the business.
pickup this is the only thing missing me to start by my own
You got this!!!
@@TheWillKelly what truck or car you start with
I started at the beginning of the year with a Subaru Outback, push mower, weed eater, and handheld blower, along with miscellaneous other tools. Just got a truck a few months ago. You can start very lean if you need to. If I can do it, you can too!
Lol. Find the bulb.
Yes find the bulb!
Keep Sharing the good stuff WK!
Thanks brother!
I would suggest charging per shrub, plant, tree, etc a rate that makes sense, so when pricing to customer you can explain in a way that benefits both parties. I dont think "Rushing" the work is essential, because then you gonna get customer complaints, due to quality of work. Simply price properly to give the best service & quality.
Good point! Thanks for your input.
This shit hole company isn’t worried about the quality of work, their employees, or really anything other than making the most money that they can, paying the lowest wages, cutting hours down to skim the system, and it’s shows in the employees lol. Talk to any one of them, they hate this douche bag
🔥🔥
Thank you!
This is my first big job where he said do what ever I wanted it my project so he only gotten me a few supplies so it makes it slower for and has to qait
You got this!!
A little tree trimming on a large bush and apple tree
Nice!!
I've start this job maybe a week ago and down other work also such as pull weeds paint the little play house made some in stall on framing the out side windows put grass seed ,raked it threw some seed and the railing around the garage spay black spray paint at night I go water grass for him also what u think
That’s awesome to hear!!
I'm am laying the sod with 2.people I hired to helpe we have to turn the dirt out selves rack the rock out of dirt may 2 days make sure all rock is out then level it then put down sod I've been waiting for the land lord to bring sod plue the rock I'm getting from the neighbor across the Street which I have and trailer that a little bigger then a wheelbarrow and take it from there yard to take it to the yard I'm working at which Is 6 house away around the the corner what to charge them plus I payy workers
It is definitely a challenge but you can get through it!
I got a job to lay sod and rock 60 ft by 40 ft so I was gonna put 2fg around the outside of the grass area then put sod inside of rock.dig 3 holes for trees put brick around tree's
That sounds nice!
Yes I would be willing to pay for a price sheet. Please let me know how i can go about getting one! thanks !!
I made it free. It’s in the description of the video below.
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.
Nice! Thanks for sharing.
If you have poor route density, it's not your worker's fault. Route density and having a "well-oiled machine" as in a rig that is set up for efficiency, having trimer string pre-cut and making sure that anyone trimming has trimmer string on them so they don't have to walk back to the trailer to refill. Check fuel levels just a glance at a blower, edger, trimmer or gage on mower can save us a walk back to the trailer. Also, I concentrate on yards with no fences or gates. I like your pay for performance idea.
You make some great points to think of!
Maintenance
Very close!
some great tips and advice in this video, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
