Commercial Lawn Mowers

Hello and welcome to the Commercial Lawn Mowers Blog Hubpage, a sister site to the blog.

I discuss lots of topics concerning the small commercial lawn mowing business or more simply put, the lawn care business of mowing other people's yards to make a great living.

This business is more recession-proof than many others because no matter what the economy is doing, the grass still grows and has to be cut regularly. People may cut back on hiring out this task in bad economic times, but there are many who just plain don't have the time, energy, equipment or ability to keep up their own lawns. Don't forget small businesses that need mowing and edging done around their premises. Hospitals, office parks, apartment and condo complexes and strip malls all have grass around them that requires lawn maintenance. They usually don't have the means to take care of their own grass.That's where you can step in and make some money.

If you enjoy working in your yard and would like a part-time business that is flexible, allows you to work just 5-10 extra hours each week, and makes significantly more money than most other part-time endeavors, your owe it to yourself to explore the outdoor world of residential lawn care.This is a great business to start on the side and work up to a full-time business gradually.

If you are interested in the commercial lawn care business as a full-time endeavor, you can still start with very little money. All you need is enough to make up fliers and distribute them around your neighborhood within walking distance of your home. You can use your residential push mower, string trimmer and blower until you earn enough money to cover your living expenses and taxes. This will happen quickly because people pay anywhere from $50 to $80 every week to 10 days to have their lawns mowed for them.

Within a few weeks you can be earning at least $1100 to $1200 per week mowing 4-5 lawns per day, 5 days per week if you focus initially on heavy marketing door-to-door to your neighbors.You'll know you have enough clients when you have to turn people away because you just can't fit them into your schedule.

When you save enough money from your profits, you can buy a small used commercial lawn mower which will speed up the amount of work you can accomplish in one day. You can either work less for the same amount of money, or work the same amount of time as before and earn more. It's completely up to you.

A lot of people take up delivering pizzas as a part-time job that pays pretty well, but lawn mowing pays better and you work when you want to or can. If you mow just 5 yards a week at $60/yard, that's $300 per week of extra gross income. Mowing puts less wear on your car and burns a lot less gas than delivering pizzas, too, so it's more environmentally friendly. It will cost you less in car repair. Lawn equipment repair is nowhere near as expensive as car repair.

So check out a flexible business opportunity that only requires a lawn mower, string trimmer, blower and your will to find customers. If you enjoy the outdoors and yard work, you can be paid handsomely for doing something you love.
