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.
