I am thirteen and my brothers are a little younger. I am planning on starting a lawn
mowing/ weed eating business in our
neighborhood with them. Each lot is about 1-
1 1/2 acres. I am wondering how much I
should charge. I have my own lawn mower and weed eater.



Answer
you should knock on their doors and ask them how much they pay to get their lawn mowed and taken care of by some company. whatever they say, you should tell them that you will charge them $25 less if they hire you to do the job.

What is the best gas powered push lawn mower for me?

I mow 3 to 5 lawns a week. They are .75 to 1 acre. I do not want a self propelled mower as I
like the exercise I get. My terrain is uneven and boggy in places. The information I read online is
often contradictory so I thought I would look for an expert. Thanks!



Answer
Because you mow over rough terrain the first thing that will fail on most mowers is the wheels. I have owned Honda and Toro mowers and because my 2.5 acre lawn is so rough I was replacing wheels every year. I still have those mowers but I seldom use them now. The strongest wheels I have found on any push mower are on the old 2 stroke Lawn Boy Commercial duty mowers. They have grease fittings on the wheels and no plastic. Because it is 2 stroke you can mow the side of hills without oil starvation. The only maintenance it needs is cleaning the exhaust ports a couple times a year, sharpening the blade and greasing the wheels. Another nice feature is a one gallon fuel tank so you don't run empty in the middle of a lawn. They stopped making these mowers in the late 1990s so you will have to find one on eBay or craigs list. I found mine at a yard sale 3 years ago and haven't had to replace a wheel yet. My old Honda and Toro mowers still run good and start with one or two pulls. They are good mowers but they are made for homeowner use. The best new mower you can buy is Exmark but unless you are using it every day it isn't worth the price. If I was buying a new push mower it would be a Honda HRC216PDA.
