starting a lawn mower company?

mychal f

i am starting a lawn mower company and i am going to be needing help on some ideas on what i should put write on my flares to start this company, and how much should i charge on each lawn

any ideas would help



thank you

Answer
What do others charge? How big is the lawn? If you are going to do free estamites? Normal is $18-$40 pre lawn (depending onwhere you live). I had 2 of them for about 2-5years, sold both. If you have a family Please stay organized and don't forget them.

On your flyers:the company name/ logo, your name, number, free estimates, a pucture (not of self).

Should I buy a residential lawn mower or a commercial one?

Joe

I have 7 lawns and my lawn mower just broke and i was wondering should i buy a riding mower or a push mower
my lawns usually took me 2 hours to do with a 21 inch cut deck

Answer
A commercial lawn mower would be a better idea as they are very efficient and good at cutting grass. The companies that provide you with them offer a limited service option as well. This way if something goes wrong you can always rely on them to offer professional service. Here are a few cheap lawn mowers which you could probably use => http://home-and-garden.become.com/cheap-lawn-mowers-riding

Are lawn mowers.........................?

Go Isles!

friends with other lawn mowers?????

Answer
Look you need to better clarify your so called question.
Now are you talking about Gardners that Mow and Blow Lawns?
If your asking about Professional Gardners that Mow other folks Yards?
If not then are you referring about Professional Landscape Contractors?
If not are you asking about is there Professional Groups that get together. Then some refer to networking ideas or Assoicaition for better
Standards of the Green Profession?
Now in California we have the C.L.C.A. which stands for
CA Landscape Contractors Associations: This group strives to promote better trained and professional Landscape Contractors State
wide. That are Landscape Contractors that are accountable for work performed. This is from Design to as Build projects. Yes and Yard maintenance projects. We do network, have discount Insurance rates for the Independent Business owners to large Business Company.
Then also do from Residentials to Large Commercial projects.
So now good luck networking with other lawn mowers:

hovering lawn mowers?

dar j

hovering mowers are innexpensive & common in most countries, why arent they in the usa?

Answer
One of three reasons. No one has thought of importing them. OR they won't pass EPA emissions standards OR domestic lawnmower companies have been successful in getting legislation passed prohibiting them from being imported.

You need to research it to see which of the three apply. If it is only because no one has thought of importing them, you will get rich.

Why are most lawn mowers red?

Buttermilk

This is a question my husband asked me and I told him I would give this one to all you Y/A folks. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Answer
I really wanted to make a funny comment, but I will choose to be serious here, beings you sound as if you really want to know the right answer... The reason most mowers are red is that from a companies sales standpoint, a red mower attracts the consumers eye, just as if a person shopping for a fast car will most of the time purchase the red one (red vehicles are ticketed more for speeding than any other color). By having red mowers on the display racks at retail outlets, the buyer will notice a red mower before any other color. You've heard the saying... "Hot Red"!! However, most mower companies have their own signature color that they use and alot of them just happen to be red and for good reason. With that said, I will stay with my John Deere "green".. Hope this answers your question...

What type of lawn mower do you recommend?

best lawn mower company image

Q. I have a small back yard (20' x 30') and love the way the grass looks once it has been cut with a gas lawn mower. However, I want to get rid of the gas mower and considering a reel or electric mower. Would the reel mower give it the same look as the gas mower does? I have Zoysia grass. Opinions?? Thanks!

Answer
I highly recommend a McLane 17" front throw reel mower. With the grass catcher. http://buyapushmower.com/2009/12/21/mclane-17-inch-7-blade-front-throw-17-ph-7/
I've been using mine for over 7 years and is without a doubt the best reel mower out there. Easy to push and maintain. I Never use a rotary mower on zoysia grass. I own a maintenance company and only mow properties with Bermuda, zoysia, or paspalum grasses. It's perfect for areas I can't get a heavy mower into. My zoysia grass is maintained at 350 mm.
You will be able to get a closer, or lower elevated cut on your zoysia, which in my opinion looks better. You will be able to scalp your grass at the lowest setting to dethatch your lawn when needed also.
The first few cuts will be a learning experience and there will be bald spots on any areas where the soil is not level under the grass. Rolling it will solve that problem.

I am preparing to purchase my first lawn mower. I am looking for a push mower (also known as a walk-behind). The grass in my yard grows very quickly, so I would like something that will last a while and not wear out quickly.
I have heard good things about the snapper company and was thinking I might get one of their mowers.
Do you know anything about snapper or do you have other recommendations?

Answer
Best brands from personal experience -

1. Snapper
2. Toro
3. John Deere
4. Honda

No matter which you buy make sure the dealer has a good parts & service department. Don't buy from a big box store or you'll regret it when/if you ever need service. Even if they carry the brand you want, they're not the same models offered by "real" power equipment dealers.

how to start a lawn care company?

fuzzycolom

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!
Kimberly
