Always check your work

It always happens to me when you put all the equipment away, you realize that you missed a spot and have to take everything back out to take care of it lol. After you are done with the job put everything away except the weed whacker and take one more walk around the property what ever spots you missed you can correct with the weed whacker I hope this helps take care and God Bless

I took care of my missed spots :-)

Been really busy

The Lawn care and Landscaping business is in full swing so I haven't have much time to post anything but I just got a good review from a client but the one concern she had was I work a part time job and run a full time business and some times it can be hard to get to every client at a reasonable time what do you do??

you do the best you can to get to everybody waste not time, Just go go go. On your days off from work ,use those days to do the bigger jobs. You just have to do the best you can to get all the customers, get to the most important first and if you lose some of the smaller ones you won't lose as much money.

When it is busy like this you will have to make choices and my lose some jobs If you are getting a lot of jobs you may have to think about quitting your job but if want to keep the job too ask if you can have some time off or take a vacation that way you can still do your jobs in your business and the time off of work you will still get paid for it get the best of both worlds.

well I hope this will help you take care and God Bless

$20.00 JOBS

If you are driving a truck and you have a general idea on landscaping jobs and lawn jobs. You can drive near where you live talk with friends and co workers and see if they need small yard clean ups taking some garbage to the dump or hauling a small pile of branches to the brush land fill places in your town. If you can do it for $20 bucks you will get a lot of jobs.$20 is s small enough fee that many people will have no problem paying, like retail stores $1.00 is the magic number. I find that when it starts to get slow going towards winter of that you have extra time between jobs using this method can put some extra money in your pocket . I hope this helps you out in getting some ideas in making extra cash I your business take care and God Bless

Another way to figure what to charge for Jobs...

When you go to a customer or clients property to give a quote and do the job sometimes the will give you a $10 or $20 tip so you can figure out on the next job that you can charge a little more when you place your bid.

People will call you to mow a lawn they may say that there lawn guy went on vacation for a couple of weeks and they just need you to cut the grass for a couple of weeks until he comes back. You can ask how much he charges and do it for the price he charges. This is an ideal way to know how much other lawn companies charges. If they just move from another state and they need you to cut the grass telling how much other lawn care companies charge the state they moved from won't work as well because there rates may be higher or lower then the state you live in. you will not get good information. I hope this will help you in your business take care and God Bless

A Gamble that can PAY OFF

When you are getting your landscaping or lawn care started one way you can get some jobs is to tell the customer that you would like to work with in there budget and pay me what you think the job is worth. Yes it is true that this is a bit of a gamble because you may do a $100 dollar job for $20 but I done this to a client of mine was gonna charge $35 to remove some tree growth on the side of the house and she end up giving me $100. The advantages of doing this is you are almost guaranteed in getting the job and the majority of the customers and clients are good people and will pay you a fair amount of what the job is worth.You will also have a an idea in what to charge other jobs like the one you did for example if someone gave $150 to remove all the leaves from the house and another gave you $100 you will that jobs like these you will make around $100. I would to this all the time but if you encounter a new job like weeding a flower bed and you never done this kind of work before the doing the gambling (what you can afford) will be good for the first few flower bed jobs until you know what you can charge and what people are willing to pay. I hope this will help you in your business in getting more jobs or at least knowing what to charge. take care and God Bless

You can make money with a push mower.

Just a little extra work but if you have no job and can mow 3 or 4 yards that day that is about $100-$125 that day and if you can do this 3-5 days a weeks the money adds up.Just something to think about take care and God Bless

If you like to mow or landscape you will have plenty of work!!

weather you have your oun business or looking for a job if you are willing to work hard you will get jobs and if you just want to work for someone else theres a good chance you will be hired on the spot. good workers are hard to find many landscaper and lawn care companies hire forien help legal or else wise. many people just do not like to work hard long hours out in the heat and dealing with the harsh weather changes,stepping in dog crap or getting pricked by thorns when trimming rose bushes or other thorny plants. I am willing to put up with such things because there is money that can be made. I prefer being my own boss but if you just want to be an employee work is there for you too. some times you have to do what you need to do to put food on the table.just something to think about I will leave a link below something you should read about hiring people from other countries to do lawn care and landscaping take care and God Bless
