@@Skibidibobobeebop I have been a landscaper for over a decade. That's actually very accurate. That's about the average price for lawns where I live. Depending on a few details about the lawns, the prices are usually about $40-$60 for each lawn. Sometimes more if they have a big lawn. Also, there are an astonishing amount of people who are willing to pay that amount. You would be very surprised. I don't think that there's a single lawn that I mow that costs less than $40.
@@mcgee1864 yep landscaper here too and I was gonna say, $50 dollars is not only normal but on the cheaper side. My boss and I have a ton of year round weekly properties here in Georgia and they are dormant all winter and nothing grows. No weeds, grass, edging, hedges. This time of year, December through mid-March, we literally walk the property with a blower on my back and don’t blow any leaves just blow The patio and front porch and driveway off (literally just dust / dirt) and we’re gone in less than 2 minutes. And they still pay the year round fee, and it’s usually no less than $60 a week, average is about $75-80 and some are even $100+. When you are established at being good at what you do, people will pay a premium for your work and your time no matter how little, just knowing they can trust you to be dependable with their yard and simply knowing that you will come every single week all year round and take care of anything and everything that may need to be done.
Landscaper here too, you’re absolutely right! I have year round customers who are weekly and pay anywhere from $60 on the low end all the way to well over $100+ a week even in the winter when I literally just blow off the front porch and back patio and leave in TWO MINUTES. Of course, they end up getting their moneys-worth in the summer grow season, but it doesn’t matter because the fee I charge is year round and doesn’t change, it’s in the contract and A lot of them simply have their card on file with me so it just automatically charges their bank each week, no hassle.
@@jayzayproductions5454 That's nuts!!! I just get laid off for the winter. 🤣 LMAO I'm glad to hear that you can work year round like that!!! Rock on!!! BTW, I live in Bucks County Pennsylvania 🤠✌️
@@jayzayproductions5454 yeah, that's definitely a solid way to do it. 1. Have contracts! 2. Have customers credit/debit cards on file so you never have to wait to get paid!! Very good way to go about that!! Man, some customers are just a huge pain in the ass to collect from. I shouldn't have to ask more than once or constantly ask time after time... I've heard some customer horror stories fr other landscaper buddies and one guy had to actually sue the customer because he was 2 or 3 months behind on his payments... Went to court, the customer paid him, then STILL wanted to keep him on as his landscaper and my buddy was actually cool with that and continued to keep him as a customer!!! That's insane!!! If he was going to pay in the end, then why waste the time of going to court? That, plus the fact that with that track record, I would never trust him to pay on time again and I wouldn't want to go to court twice for the same customer. I think he should have just dropped that customer after he got paid...
@@jayzayproductions5454 I've got a question because I'm kinda curious! Do you offer any kind of a discount if your customers pay in advance? Like if they pay for 3 months, 6 months, or the whole year in advance, do you knock off a few bucks or a certain percentage? If so, do you have any customers who have taken you up on that deal and signed a contract to pay you for the whole year upfront?!?!
Bro , that’s barley $80 a day , it’s not going to pay the rent , food , dog and cat food , water bill , electric bill , and extra money for necessities You would just be living paycheck to paycheck
Im a 13 year old kid with a little laen mowing business and i make thousands a month just mowing lawns. I charge about 30 to 50 dollars for an average sized yard and for bigger ones 60 to 80 and fpr the really big and overgrown grass about 90 to 130. You can make really good money mowing lawn just knock door to door but only knock if you see the grass is getting long.
120 in four hours technically. Now you reinvest, buy your own mower and keep it going. Got three customers that would probably use you again. Mowing and cleaning up/landscaping is one of the biggest side hustles ever.

For a person thats doing lawn mowing the 1st time, I recommend to practice mowing lawns before already going out and trying to mow lawns already...next thing u know, u don't want a customer to tell u not to come back because u screwed up there lawn not knowing how to mow laws... 2nd advice, is that you want to find a lawn that isn't too BIG or isn't tooo small. The reason why is cause u wanna charge the right price for the amount of work you would be doing. (Big lawns= more money) and sometimes looking in peoples backyards is not bad at all. The reason why im saying that us cause you'll save yourself a new blade and a hell of a time. (Some backyard a lot bigger then the front by a lot) but hey more of a mess in the backyard, you can charge a lot more due to youd be hitting a lot of stuff in the backyard with ur blade and lawn mower which can cause damage to ur stuff for u to repair PLUS GAS for your lawn care Equipment. 3rd Advice is, if you see a small or big dirt patch on a person's lawn and you don't want to put breath in smoke. Use the customers water and put a little bit of water to wet the dirt patch from you breathing in dust. dust is also your enemy to you and your lawn mower and equipment. Wetting a patch of dirt will not harm your equipment and will save you from breathing in dirt. If a customer asks you why you use there water system, tell them that you did it to save yourself from breathing in the dust and harming your equipment.. Last advice is set up a Biweeklt mowing schedule for 2-4 houses and keep them as customers have the 2-4 customers a different week from each other so that every week you'll be getting paid or every other week you'll be paid like week 2 of the month and week 3 of the month as well or separate all the 4 houses for different weeks for you to be getting that weekly paychecks Know your price and your work on how well you do it for charging people, when I was doing it I charged $40 for decent sized lawns and $60 for the big lawns and I would keep it that way. If you find those BIG lawns for $60 each snd the 4 houses thats $240- expenses like Gas for whereever u live Weedeater string for edging And a lawn mower fixer or unless you fix your own lawn mower. And a lead blower would help!! (Me personally would blow the the grass back into the lawn cuz blowing it on the streets is "considered rude" in my opinion. Eventually you will have enough money to get a bigger lawnmower thats more powerful and it would also have the FWD option to help you with those tough lawns. So if you want to do a lawn mowing business get 1.A lawn mower that actually works 2. Weedeater with string that also works 3.a weedeater gas can and lawn mower gas can (weedeater gas can will take a little bit of oil in there gas and lawn mower won't take oil in there gas) 4. A electric leaf blower with multiple batters (more then 2 batteries) so just in case u decide u forget to charge tbose up) the eletric leaf blower will be the only eletric lawn equipment you will have. Depending on yalls budgets, look off of Facebook marketplace or sometimes going to your local home depot or lowes to get a gas lawn mower and weedeater or go to Walmart for a gas weedeater (get the cheapest option cuz your budget might be low to my understanding) IF Your family has those already but no eletric leaf blower, your in luck you'll only need to get 1 thing or only a few things which would cost you less but yeah happy mowing
Shoot, I got back from some military time, bought a lawnmower on Craigslist, saved got a weed eater, a chainsaw and then upgraded all my equipment after a week or 2. VistaPrint, made magnets for my truck , business cards and flyers. By the time summer was mid way through, I was clearing 1-2k a week. Cash! Mulch jobs, repeat customers, new customers, brush removal, tree trimming. A whole world opened up and it’s not that bad if you don’t mind doing the work. 1 truck. 1 man. Just working outside doing it all. One of my best summers ever. 💪
People saying 50$ is a lot. Actually it’s not. Most law services make you sign a contract for a set amount of time. So the fact it’s just a flat 50$ one time is what make it worth. Sounds like decent sized yards for a hour to mow too. It’s not 2005 when we were 12 doing this 😂
Mow some lawns, I guarantee if you keep at it and do a good job, you WILL eventually build up a successful landscaping company... As compared to many other businesses, landscaping is fairly easy to get into as long as you're willing to put in the hard work and physical labor.
600$ revenue.. 66% profit margin =396$ profit after you factor in gas/taxes/2 cycle/string/oil/maintenance on equipment/grease.. lol this buis ain’t for everyone I’m in too I do about 400-700$ net solo 5 days a week it’s a tough business to Be in but there is HIGH demand! Keep making that money G
I found a lawn mower in the trash when I was a kid, sharpen the blades changed the spark plug and filled it with gas. Ran just fine I'd go around the neighborhood mowing lawns making cash all summer. Used the money for a leaf blower, weed whacker, Got a yard vacuum for the fall did yard clean up. Fixed up a few snow blowers for the winter. I could have kept that buisness going to this day. I made more money doing that than working my first few jobs working for a buisness
Lawn mowing and snow clearing are easy money in any high density neighborhood. Each block in our area has 20 bungalow-style houses, and there are 6 blocks to a street. Just stay on a single street and you've got 120 potential customers, all with the same size yard and same size driveway. Easy money...me and every other high school kid back in the day was doing it. Just have to be reliable. Folks these days just want to play video games.
Living rural sucks. Each yard is an acre or more and they want to pay less than 30 bucks. Plus you can’t walk so you have to haul the equipment from place to place.
@@Marynicole830 Yeah, that's absolutely ridiculous. An acre property is worth about $75-$100 per cut. Those people are cheap as hell trying to low-ball for $30...
I pay 160$ a month for lawn care that’s 4 mows a month (1 a week). 40$ a visit. They are here about 20 minutes or so, 1/2 acre lot. Actual grass area is around 1/3 of the lot. 2-3 guys show up to do it. They also do my neighbors yards to, so 3 houses next to each other.
when I was in nursing school and my husband at the time was in Physical Therapy Assistant School we mowed lawns together 2 summers, one would mow, one would trim. It was dirty work but decent money
365 days a year - 104 days for weekends = 261 monday through friday days in a year. If you can make $300 a day x 261 days not working weekends = $78,300 Find a side hustle that you can earn $300 a day not working weekends and you are golden....there are great tax benefits you can get having a side business as well. Keep more of the money you earn!
I had a customer pay me $125/per cut and every since then I started focusing on top tier clients and gaining customers I know that takes pride in their lawn. Lawyers, judges, musicians etc. I can easily make $1500/week cutting grass and if I had 50-75 customers I can make that in 2-4 days time.
Just so everyone knows, in a lot of communities you are required to get a license to knock on doors like that or you will get fined. In order to get a license, you need to have a registered business with your state which is fairly cheap for a simple LLC but should definitely be considered if you plan on doing this legally. Another thing he didn’t take into consideration was some expenses like the printer to print flyers. The ink on the flyers, and taxes (I’m guessing he probably won’t be claiming those profits on his taxes). Also, if he isn’t lying then he got very lucky in this neighborhood. I’d say a good conversion rate from knocking on doors to actually making a sale is probably around 5-10%. So expect to be walking a lot of miles at the beginning to make sales and pay yourself accordingly. For example, if you walk around for 3 hours to make 1 sale of $50 then take out some profits for expenses and taxes, it really isn’t worth it. You will also be walking a lot of miles to make sales. In my neighborhood, with my step counter counting my steps, I walked about 6-8 miles for every 100 houses I went to. And this is not to mention the fact that he’s a young decent looking dude. This helps in sales because people are more willing to help him out because he looks like he’s just strapped for cash and not doing it professionally. If you’re an ugly person then expect to make less sales (just reality I know it sucks). Also, people are much less kind to actual businesses that do it professionally versus someone that looks like they just need some quick cash or some help like this guy. If you plan on doing this professionally or even legally, I recommend taking all of these things into consideration.
You don’t need a license to knock on doors 😂😂😂 🤡 maybe in your city, but every city and state is different goofball, that’s like saying Christian’s need a license to knock on your door to tell you about Jesus. WRONG!
I had a mowing business for 5 years and couldn't believe the revenue it generated. I was getting burned out and trying to figure out an exit strategy when I tore my rotator cuff. It sucked, but I sold the business and was out. My minimum was $40, but my average lawn was $70 and I only took accounts that were either very small or big enough for the zero turn. The small yards at $40 were the best. I had 6 of them that were all in a row of town houses. Each took less than 8 minutes, we were in and out in less than an hour making $240. My worst route the last year I ran it was Monday making just over $300 for the day. Otherwise, the rest of the week was $800+ Thursdays being $1200. That's just the mowing part, I did many other services as well. There's really no excuse for being broke and sorry for yourself. There's money all over the place just waiting to be made and easy shit like mowing is just gold because nobody wants to do it. Trading $50 for not having to spend part of your weekend and family time doing yard work is a no brainer
friend retired to Tenn. where he bought three riding zero point lawn mowers contacted rental co.he was so busy clearing lots for renters he worked harder there then he did in the shop. He couldn't get same help for more than one day a week 10 guys on two mowers with him on third working one day a week per man he had mowers paid for first month. it was like $250 half acre lots never needed a truck cuz they ride down one side of road then back home on the other side he could get 20 houses a day but maint. was his to do oil changes.
I make $120/hr with one employee.. I have a full trailer and about 40k in equipment though. Not to mention my 80k landscaping setup (massive trailer, ditch witch, aerators, hedge trimmers and more)
Charge 1.5 cpf for lawns, up to 3 cpf. Depending on grass type, condition, length. add on other things, bushes, etc... edging, and weed eating should be standard, and accounted for.
How do you work 3 lawns...that's 3 lawns...in a 5 day time? No shit you'd be making below minimun wage. You should be able to do 10 to 20 lawns, at least, a day.
This is from 2.400 to 3.200 bucks a week which is like having a full time job. Insane. And you could easily do it quicker without renting a lawnmower but buying a good one making like 50 in 30 mins.
This is a pretty common side hustle. We did this growing up to get money for shoes, the skating rink and blockbuster. The only weird thing about it is that most kids now aren’t doing things like this.
I pushed my mower around my neighborhood for hours one time looking for someone whose lawn i could mow, hours later i found someone and the weedeater broke rip
Paying $50 for that small of a yard is crazy but I use to cut yards with my dad just for both of to get $20 on each yard and these yards were like 2 football fields I stg I still pass this one house today and the yard just gets bigger I swear
Thank you for the series, its given me a lotnof great ideas! Could you try dog walking or house sitting? I've been considering those as a side hustle myself but I'm not sure if it's worth my time.
You just gotta LOVE the job if you do it for the money you JOB might not be very well done.. I've seen SEVERAL lawn care owners DO jobs Half way and SAY "I been here for too LONG"
I charge like $20 for a decent sized lawn. Im just as good as a professional and hardly get sales. so 50/hr is a total scam. You can really make about $5-10 an hour if you are new. big companies can make $50/hr but you need to have hundreds of customers.
Side hustles are still income thus taxes and by the way all that time it took you to promote your services is work time too. Oh and somehow you had to get to the location of your customers which is also time on the clock.
I’d say for average lawn, I charge $15 for a normal size lawn, $20-$25 for a bigger lawn, never $50😂. I mean inflation is kicking everyone’s a**s so I like to keep it lower cuz not everyone has $50 to just give away. But congrats
god damn 50 for a lawn? I didn’t know inflation was this bad
No he’s just charging them a ridiculous amount. I don’t think most people would pay 50$ when they could mow the lawn themselves

If you can make $300 a day x 261 days not working weekends = $78,300
Find a side hustle that you can earn $300 a day not working weekends and you are golden....there are great tax benefits you can get having a side business as well. Keep more of the money you earn!
The cap for easy landscaping stuff like that is closer to around 60-80 if you asked me, depending on the lot size you can charge differently.
I had a customer pay me $125/per cut and every since then I started focusing on top tier clients and gaining customers I know that takes pride in their lawn. Lawyers, judges, musicians etc. I can easily make $1500/week cutting grass and if I had 50-75 customers I can make that in 2-4 days time.
AYO you can’t do that with the flyers my guy
Man did her dirty 💀
@@WalkOnABush did her dirty how?
Since when can't you do that with flyers?
@@mcgee1864”Landscaping it’s so good to die for.” - She died… 🤔
Nah the flyers are hilarious
Dang, that flyer of queen Elizabeth saying landscaping so good it’s to die for, that was kinda dark but funny
You're the only channel that is legit about testing these
he is not legit brother
he is full of shit wdym
Them flyers were outa pocket 😂
Just so everyone knows, in a lot of communities you are required to get a license to knock on doors like that or you will get fined. In order to get a license, you need to have a registered business with your state which is fairly cheap for a simple LLC but should definitely be considered if you plan on doing this legally.
Another thing he didn’t take into consideration was some expenses like the printer to print flyers. The ink on the flyers, and taxes (I’m guessing he probably won’t be claiming those profits on his taxes).
Also, if he isn’t lying then he got very lucky in this neighborhood. I’d say a good conversion rate from knocking on doors to actually making a sale is probably around 5-10%. So expect to be walking a lot of miles at the beginning to make sales and pay yourself accordingly. For example, if you walk around for 3 hours to make 1 sale of $50 then take out some profits for expenses and taxes, it really isn’t worth it. You will also be walking a lot of miles to make sales. In my neighborhood, with my step counter counting my steps, I walked about 6-8 miles for every 100 houses I went to.
And this is not to mention the fact that he’s a young decent looking dude. This helps in sales because people are more willing to help him out because he looks like he’s just strapped for cash and not doing it professionally. If you’re an ugly person then expect to make less sales (just reality I know it sucks). Also, people are much less kind to actual businesses that do it professionally versus someone that looks like they just need some quick cash or some help like this guy.
If you plan on doing this professionally or even legally, I recommend taking all of these things into consideration.
You don’t need a license to knock on doors 😂😂😂 🤡 maybe in your city, but every city and state is different goofball, that’s like saying Christian’s need a license to knock on your door to tell you about Jesus. WRONG!

I had a mowing business for 5 years and couldn't believe the revenue it generated. I was getting burned out and trying to figure out an exit strategy when I tore my rotator cuff. It sucked, but I sold the business and was out. My minimum was $40, but my average lawn was $70 and I only took accounts that were either very small or big enough for the zero turn. The small yards at $40 were the best. I had 6 of them that were all in a row of town houses. Each took less than 8 minutes, we were in and out in less than an hour making $240. My worst route the last year I ran it was Monday making just over $300 for the day. Otherwise, the rest of the week was $800+ Thursdays being $1200. That's just the mowing part, I did many other services as well. There's really no excuse for being broke and sorry for yourself. There's money all over the place just waiting to be made and easy shit like mowing is just gold because nobody wants to do it. Trading $50 for not having to spend part of your weekend and family time doing yard work is a no brainer
spent $25 renting a mower, I found 1 for free and fixed it up for like $10 and I own it fully
He turned 35 into 150.. I’m sure he can own one now. Relax.
I do this for 7 dollars per lawn, that’s just crazy and it takes me around 1-2,5 hours. That’s crazy.
Poor kid. You are being used for labor. Lmao.
Do $30 or so
I remember doing $5 bucks a yard… what the hell. That was like 6 or 7 years ago, not even that long ago
You charged wayyyyyy to less. My friends used to cut lawns when I was a kid and they charged $20
I charge 65$/h per person.. cleaning gardens 😅
Riding around on my stand on mowers, we're 90-120$/ acre cut & trimmed
friend retired to Tenn. where he bought three riding zero point lawn mowers contacted rental co.he was so busy clearing lots for renters he worked harder there then he did in the shop. He couldn't get same help for more than one day a week 10 guys on two mowers with him on third working one day a week per man he had mowers paid for first month. it was like $250 half acre lots never needed a truck cuz they ride down one side of road then back home on the other side he could get 20 houses a day but maint. was his to do oil changes.
Man, make the list pls. This series is really good and would help a lot!!
I will prob try it pretty decente and fun!
Bro my dad gives me 20$ for 3 hours of cutting lawn, trimming hedges, etc he took inflation to a new level
Ayo Queen Elizabeth 🫢😅😂
I did this one time but did snow removal. Lost my job, needed quick cash, got 3 people to let me shovel there driveways, made $80 in 3 hours.
Love these videos man keep it up ❤
i own a lawncare company. with employees and all the equipment you can absolutely make 50-100 an hour
Mind me asking how did u print business paper cards like yours 😂👌🏾
I make $120/hr with one employee.. I have a full trailer and about 40k in equipment though. Not to mention my 80k landscaping setup (massive trailer, ditch witch, aerators, hedge trimmers and more)
Eh. I live in the middle of the prairie. Lawn tractor perimeter swath for fire break. I enjoy your videos. Interesting 👍
I don't know why but I love the expressions while you talk❤️😄
This man is a fucking legend ❤❤❤
Charge 1.5 cpf for lawns, up to 3 cpf. Depending on grass type, condition, length. add on other things, bushes, etc... edging, and weed eating should be standard, and accounted for.
meanwhile kids in my neighbourhood asking for around 5$/lawn
Poland if anyone wonders
Just explain to them how much they are supposed to charge. Hopefully they become business owners.
The United States is a whole different ball game.
I got a lawn mower already, so we chillin
when you realize that if you hypothetically work three lawns for five days every week your pay would literally be equivalent to minimum wage
How do you work 3 lawns...that's 3 lawns...in a 5 day time? No shit you'd be making below minimun wage. You should be able to do 10 to 20 lawns, at least, a day.
14 years old I bought my own lawn mower and made 300 a week plus. In florida
I got a free mower and I mow an avg of $30-$40 per yard ive made a few hundred in a day its awesome but can’t mow all the time here in Iowa
This is from 2.400 to 3.200 bucks a week which is like having a full time job. Insane. And you could easily do it quicker without renting a lawnmower but buying a good one making like 50 in 30 mins.
This is a pretty common side hustle. We did this growing up to get money for shoes, the skating rink and blockbuster. The only weird thing about it is that most kids now aren’t doing things like this.
I’ve been mowing lawns since the 1430s and you can actually make over 60 dabloons per week
How much do you have to travel and also some neighborhoods have less people willing to pay for mowing so where do you recommend mowing lawns
I've started just this Sunday made $85 from 3 houses majority people weren't home when I knocked though next time I'll go a little earlier
I pushed my mower around my neighborhood for hours one time looking for someone whose lawn i could mow, hours later i found someone and the weedeater broke rip
THE MOWER SMOKING LOL
Well done 👏
Paying $50 for that small of a yard is crazy but I use to cut yards with my dad just for both of to get $20 on each yard and these yards were like 2 football fields I stg I still pass this one house today and the yard just gets bigger I swear
They rent lawnmowers by the hour? I thought the stuff to rent was for a full day.
Where i live a rental company does an up to 4 hour rental and a full day rental rates
Homeboy didn’t even weedwack or edge or blowoff I’m hurt
Thank you for the series, its given me a lotnof great ideas! Could you try dog walking or house sitting? I've been considering those as a side hustle myself but I'm not sure if it's worth my time.
$50 is pretty cheap compared to what bigger guys charge.
There is to many people doing this. And if you get a good customer base your good. But getting them is the hard part
I love the Houston Astros hat!!!
And if you save up for your own mower, or already have one you can make even more!
You just gotta LOVE the job if you do it for the money you JOB might not be very well done.. I've seen SEVERAL lawn care owners DO jobs Half way and SAY "I been here for too LONG"
Owners or crackheads? lol
Parking lot painting makes bank🤑🤑
THATS MY EXACT LAWN MOWER!
I charge like $20 for a decent sized lawn. Im just as good as a professional and hardly get sales. so 50/hr is a total scam. You can really make about $5-10 an hour if you are new. big companies can make $50/hr but you need to have hundreds of customers.
you are not intelligent lol
Mowing lawns isn’t a side hustle. People are ruining a whole industry
“It’s good enough to die for” 💀
What did you do that lawnmower to make a smoke that much?
You can make 150+ a hour but you have to get the right equipment and be a little more skilled
Side hustles are still income thus taxes and by the way all that time it took you to promote your services is work time too. Oh and somehow you had to get to the location of your customers which is also time on the clock.
Here's a question: For a 1 acre lot wanting bi-weekly cuts. How much?
Me like your channel, keep it up😊
Hey what about turning in crushed aluminum cans?
one of my yards I made $60 today and took me 18 minutes to finish
I’d say for average lawn, I charge $15 for a normal size lawn, $20-$25 for a bigger lawn, never $50😂. I mean inflation is kicking everyone’s a**s so I like to keep it lower cuz not everyone has $50 to just give away. But congrats
that's crazy I'd do around $20 per yard
Found the $20 guy
You can make some decent money mowing 🍻
I charge $20 an hour or $30 if I bring my own equipment 😂
Can u do a fire wood one and a pressure washing one pls
"Took an hour per yard"
That's why you need a riding mower. Probably less than 20 minutes per yard.
The money is good as long as you have yards to cut
Minus the car and minus the gas, and most people say no
I made $460 the other day and I only cut 3 lawns I could’ve made $550 if I charged different
Gumball vending machine side hustle please
Where do you make your posters
Get a battery powered mower, and charge the batteries at the customers house.
The real side hustle is mowing your own lawn lol
Nice
Flyers get about 1-2% response rate. No way he got 3 customers in 3 minutes. Fairy tale.
any good ways to advertise side hustles?
Why there is no taxes being excluded in a total money spent/earned?
Show us how to make a flyer
I have the same lawn mower
I love how tax Evasion is a fun TikTok trend now.
120 in a day? That’s was three hours 😂
You should do it again but with zero turn
