Is There Money In Lawn Care Business

How to start a lawn care business?

If you are not familiar with me or my story from the YouTube videos, I start my lawn care company with a push mower in 2009. I had no money and no business experience. I was working for a local lawn care and landscaping company that taught me how to do the actual work though. I started part-time until the spring of 2011 my business starting growing and I was able to go full time. By 2015, I had 6 crews out every day and it was a madhouse! We produced a lot of revenue ($643k) but not much profit! I changed my business model from full service to mowing and spraying only and profits more than doubled even though our revenue went down considerably. I share what I learned so you don't have to waste lots of time and money like I did figuring this industry out!

Lawn Care by the Numbers

How to make $40,000.00+ dollars in your first year mowing is a break down of the numbers to reach an income of $40,000 for the owner of the business. We look at customer count, the average price per service and the number of services per season to get our revenue number.

Once we know our projected revenue, we will go in-depth looking at the expenses to operate your business including variable, overhead, and 1-time expenses.

Once all of the income and expenses are known, the calculator will break show the results and you will have a better understanding of what it will take to make money in the lawn care industry.

If you would prefer, please feel free to watch the video I made on this topic. I would highly recommend that as this blog post is a condensed version and there is much more in the video! I also wrote the book on how to start and grow a profitable lawn care business if you are interested in that. I am confident you will find great value in it if you are not currently making $100,000 or more as the owner of your lawn care business.
