I'm 75, been doing this for 35 years and still working. I had an all inclusive company in the past...landscaping, irrigation, patios, ponds, pool maintenance, lawn care, fertilize and pest/weed control, pruning etc. Worst part of the business was employees. Each employee requires that you take on an additional 15 year-round lawn contracts minimum to cover wages, Social Security matching, unemployment insurance, additional equipment, fuel & other consumables, uniforms, and on & on. Additionally, employees tend to abuse your equipment which drives up maintenance costs which averages about $100 per month per 3-man crew factored over a year. Reliability was a major factor as well....hoping everyone shows up for work each day. Work ethic and efficiency were other issues. I could outwork most 20 year olds. After 12 years I finally decided that I was not going to die an early death from stress, so I fired all 12 of my employees, downsized the business and have been working by myself for the past 20+ years. I do lawn care now including pest/fertilizer control, pruning, mulching, irrigation repair

Hey I love your videos! I am 34, I've had my business for 4 years now and I have 1.5 mile radius I work in, I live in a busy city in NY upstate not NYC. I have about 40 lawn customers I cut on 10 day periods, and a few I do weekly and then I have about 20 stragglers that call when they need something done. I mostly do lawns, but I do mulch and flower beds, I used to work in orchards so I offer pruning and tree work as well. Minor patios and walkways stuff like that. I'm a one man operation and I'm trying to do the math and figure out ways to make money with an employee on lawn care jobs. Last year was the first winter I was able to support myself doing snow! I chose to go only for apartments and stuff like that, that need to have it done even if it's an inch. It was very profitable. I refuse to do lawn services like aeration and fertilize. So I'm really I guess still trying to figure a few things out. But the videos really help. Thank you. I enjoy being able to rebrand my business depending on what services I wish to offer. What worked for me the most in this area is: I made a google business page for the hell of it last year in October. I've had 5-10 calls a day since and I recommend whatever anyone is doing to just throw some picks of your work up and it's free!

Thank you for teaching us different ways to be successful in Lawncare. I need to learn more about weed control and fertilizers. I appreciate you

I’m in south Florida. I charge the same price 12 months. I bust my ass during the spring/ summer. I also like to do junk removals and landscaping. 🤙🏼

The secondary referrals for weeding from mowers is a great idea, thanks for sharing!

Lawn Care Life landscaping and stonescaping are hard work and know what you’re doing and pay attention to your your work. I’ve seen a lot of landscapers quit their landscaping business because they don’t want to do it

Great video. I have a weed control business in Canada (6 mth season). I have had other business. Thinking about the business model and how it works is super important. A good plan is a great starting place.. love your content. Wish you had more on cool season grasses. The business info rocks. Keep up the great work. Brian😁 in Calgary

Great basic look at what might fit an individual wanting to work in the green industry. Deciding on one of the 5 is a great first step IMO.
