How to start a small Lawn Care Business?

Kevin C

Hey there, I'm currently in college and am looking to start up a small lawn care business next summer. I've been working at Mcdonalds the past 2 years and won't be able to stand another summer in that place. Anyways, I've already got a truck and trailer and push mower and weedeater, so I need help picking out a mower. I'd probably look into zero turns but the prices seem pretty steep, even used. And I'm not sure about a regular riding mower, if itd be fast/efficient enough. I'd be mowing mainly large home gardens and maybe small pastures. I definatly dont have more than a grand to drop on a mower to start off with. What's a good mower I should start looking for and pricerange? Also is there anything that I might not be aware of yet? Anybody with some experience in this, help me out please, Thanks

Answer
Kevin start small and build up leave riding mowers and zero turn mowers alone .

Best advice i can give is to google your question and there is a lot of information out there read and adapt what suits you i had a look to many to link and if did you might not look at another one which would have been very handy. the main theme is start with what you have how not to get screwed another word not paid for your labour and tells what equipment to use etc.

What lawn mower should I get for under $300?

Jessica B

Hi there...I am thinking about getting a lawn mower, and have a small front and small back yard, not a whole lot of space. I want something good quality though, that will last. I do not want to spend over $300 though....recommendations?

Answer
Buy a used mower. You'll pay half or less of the original cost new. Go to the biggest general lawn and garden machine dealer in your area and kick the tires, and/or check out local ads, including Craigslist.
Once there, it should at least start. Maintenance or a tune up after that is pretty easy.
