During the spring, summer, and early fall months, this is a great time of the year for those who are in the lawn service business. A person can find many people who will want their lawns mowed and trimmed. These…
people are willing to pay for this type of service because of their busy lifestyles or because of health issues which prevent them from keeping their lawns mowed and trimmed.

During my brothers and me junior and high school years, we were able to work after school and during the summer by mowing lawns. Our lawn mowing business started with six yards in the neighborhood we lived in. By the time my older brother had graduated high school, we had 23 yards we mowed every week or two. When my younger brother took over some of the yards when our older brother went on to his military stint, we had gained another five yards to mow. During the nine years of our lawn mowing business, we used one lawn mower among the three of us and created a schedule of days and times each of us could use the lawn mower to mow the lawns we had to take care of.

Although we did have the use of our parent’s lawn mower to use during this time, we did help in the up keep, gas, and purchasing of any new lawn mowers they needed for our own yard. Part of the deal for us to use the lawn mower for our home business was we had to mow our own lawn at no charge. Which by the way was no small feat since it was half an acre itself.

While this was more than 30 years ago, starting your own lawn mowing business can still be a profitable home business for anyone. It really doesn’t take much money to start a lawn mowing business. Now your thinking “Yea right, this can cost more than you think.” Seriously, it doesn’t cost as much as you think to start a lawn mowing business. The initial investment to start a lawn mowing service is a push lawn mower, a gas can, and lawn mower oil.

Sometimes lenders keep borrowers out of trouble or at least, from getting themselves into deeper financial trouble. Like a splash of cold water on your face, a loan rejection can be a fast reality check for anyone who thinks his or her current problems aren’t a big deal.

So whatever lawn care company you choose, ask them about their fertilizer of choice. Better yet, make sure to ask for the best type of granular fertilizer for your lawns. If the company is backed by a university degreed horticulturist, it will know exactly how to serve you best, with products of top quality and up to date application methods. You will be sure to get an accurate diagnosis of the state and needs of your lawn and ornamentals, as well as an honest report on what you can and cannot expect. The report should cover not just fertilization but all other issues, as well, including insect control and weed control.

Need lawn care? Then get out your shovel (hopefully for the last time) and flatten out any piles that are taking longer to melt.  They might be lining your sidewalk from shoveling previously or in areas that don’t get as much sun. Why?  While the extra snow shouldn’t kill the grass, it might stunt the growth and that won’t make for a superb lawn.

Fertilizing in the spring.  I am a firm believer that it is easier to start a nice lawn early than it is to bring a dull lawn back to life in midsummer.  So, go to the local hardware store and search for a fertilizer for the spring (it should say when to use the specific mixtures on the back).  Remember not to over fertilize because this can actually cause more harm to the grass than good, so read the directions thoroughly.

Attend to any lawn problems you had last year.  Did you have crabgrass (or any other nuisance) invade your yard last summer?  It is vital to stop these annoyances before they can get started.  Some, including crabgrass, have a very limited timeframe to be taken care of each year.  (See my other articles regarding this)

Lawn Business

You’ve got the lawn business bug and thesupport of your friends, family, and maybe even some of the employees from your last job. Starting a lawn business isn’t always a walk in the park. Stepping out to do it without the support of people around you can make it even harder.

This is the point in your life where you have gone as far as you can go. You’ve hit that ceiling in your job and your life. Sometimes the motivation to start a new lawn business comes from having reached the dead-end where you are. The desire and the drive to start or build a lawn business can also come from deciding that you’ve hit that dead-end instead of getting somewhere in your life. Fear of not achieving anything of significance can be a powerful motivator, especially if the idea of starting a lawn business is at least more interesting and potentially more lucrative than where you’re at.
