Me and my friend wanna start a lawn mowing company together, we are both 14 and want to know the best approach at going at it. What we were thinking is to post fliers all over our neighborhood, and charge 20$ a lawn as a flat rate. If it is a large lawn should we charge more or should we charge by the hour or wat? Also, is all you need a lawn mower, gas, and a little practice?(Neither of us have any practice at mowing lawns) If there is any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.


Answer
Hi:
I am a landscaper and designer. I have had my own business for 8 years. Knowledge and passion are two things that are required for a successful business. My first question to you is, have you mowed your own lawn before? If you haven't, I would start there and learn the different settings of a lawn mower. You have to know your cold weather and warm weather grass types. Bermuda is a warm weather grass and doesn't have to be mowed as much as Fescue.

Before starting any type of business, you must have the knowledge to present yourself to potential clients. Unless you have access to a truck to haul your materials around, you will have to stay in your neighborhood. This could be a good start for you. Learn how to use a blower and a trimmer. These are other tools you will need. Besides gas, you will periodically have to put some oil in the mower. Practice on some lawns before you even begin to approach customers.

You will be in a competitive field, so get some experience and then show people what you can do. I will link you to the site map of my website. There are articles, tips and techniques that may help you get started. The site map has everything that is on the website. Good luck to you and your friend, and have a great day!

What kind of sealant should I use for my gas tank?




Seth Marti


My Riding lawn mower gas tank has a crack in it at the bottom that is causing it to leak. I don't have the money right now to replace the tank, so I wanted to find out about different epoxies or sealants I could use to fix it. It is a polypropylene tank I assume. But if there is nothing I can do to fix it I will have to buy a new one. But they're just a gob of money that I'd rather not spend.


Answer
JB Weld would probably work and I found a product made by Permatex called Permatex 80884 Gas Tank / Radiator Repair on Amazon.com. Be sure to drain the tank and clean and roughen (w/fine sandpaper) the area the sealer will be applied to.
