A friend recommend this channel and man I’ve learned a lot. Doing lawn care for 3 years on the side and just went full time. Thank you for all the videos and tips!
Another one! I’m at 20 a week at $50 per mow. However, I have been getting several mulch jobs, as well as aeration and over seeding. Great insight as usual Johnny!
I’m solo operator with 25 weekly accounts ranging in yard sizes from 1/4 acre to 3acre plus lots . You can absolutely make money working solo if you are disciplined, dedicated and on time …. Weather permitting lol. With the 25 lawns all residential I have I gross just above 10k a month and pretty have everything mowed by Thursday 👍🏻👍🏻. P.S channels like yours give me motivation to go harder and tweek my route and way I run my operation. Keep it up BLADES
Man I can't tell you how glad I am that I found your channel. You are truly inspirational to guys like me that are working solo trying to build up my clients and my fleet. Keep up the good work!!
I been doing lawncare a long time and it always makes me laugh when some of these guys claim they doing 20 yards and making a 1000 dollars a day solo. I’m calling bs, no way anyone is doing that a day and they sure not doing that everyday they would be burned out fast.
My business is growing (very) slow and steady every year. Mowing may be oversaturated and the least profitable service in landscaping but I enjoy it, and I think zero turns are fun, and I'm paying my bills so can't complain.
@SerafinN26 I disagree. When it's 100°+ Temps outside and your doing physical labor not everyone can handle that heat. Between the heat and not knowing how to get work in the winter is when most guys quit
Thank you Mr. Johnny, this is my seventh year in this this business and I applied every last information throughout the years of my business with adding Soft/Pressure washing and dumpster rentals service and now makes 6 figures part-time. I'm in the Pooler Ga. area but hopefully I will meet you one day. Pop smoke!
I work full time for a local pressure wash business owner. Pays me 15 an hour. Yesterday I mowed 3 yards with a push mower within 5hrsI made $380. Hopefully, I do full-time soon.
40-45 yards a week I work Monday to Thursday with Friday being my catch up days 8-10 properties about $500-$700 daily depending on if there's hedges, shrubs, weed killer, gutter cleaning.
@@ZamoraA-qr5ng I know its been a hot minute since you asked this question, but the answer is it really depends, is it a high income neighborhood, how much overhead do you have? if you need to make 40+ a lawn to pay the overhead on your equipment can that lawn support you? can the customer even afford it? does it have a ton of trees and plant beds? if its a wide open postage stamp yard that takes 30 minutes in my area its a 40 dollar yawn, if its a corner yard I add another 10, if its a its a cluttered lawn thats another 10.
I moved into building fences from mowing lawns. For me I like the fact I can be on one property for several days. Instead of making 10 stops +. With that being said I have kept about 20 of my really good customers and I do the by myself on Sunday's. Because I still really enjoy doing yards from time to time.
My Dad had 3 jobs in the spring, summer, & fall time and this was one of the jobs that he did. He worked at the VA hospital for 35 years, and he was also a baseball umpire during the season while I was in school... He grinded for me to be talented and educated.
I have 2 regulars that pay me $100 and 1 at $60 but all other are intermate customers. That range from $60-150. If only get the 3 then I'm done by noon including travel time. It's only a side gig for me but I have invested in commercial equipment, (scag, toro, sthil) Love your videos.
You are right about the HOA. I have a few HOA accounts from word of mouth. My only question is since you say to target HOAs, how do you target them if they’re all no soliciting neighborhoods?
My son and I mow around 24 lawns per day (2 guys, 1 truck), ranging anywhere between $800-1000 per day. I've really been considering running two solo trucks.
Well, I would consider the level of expertise you both have, but keep in mind that the work will get harder if you're one vs two doing 24 yards that's great to me. I would leave it like it is
Damn 24 lawns per day is a great number. My record is 14 solo, but i think that was an 11 hour day. Also remember if u split up u will need double the equipment and have double the maintenance. I would advise to only split if u plan on growing the business more and hiring helpers in the future.
@bladesofgrasslawncare 5 year subscriber. Just want to say thank you for your videos. I learn so many tips from your videos for my own home. My neighbor asked me if I could mow their lawn this season. So your methods work in Missouri! Lol. Thank you again
One of the biggest things I’ve implements from this channel is route management!! Consolation makes you more money!! As you say…. You aren’t making money if your equipment isn’t running!
IMO you should be making at least $350/day (on your worst day) after all is said and done, but that depends on the market-and that cost should be post-overhead and other indirect costs. Landscaping is a bit different here in Southern California though, we have a different market in that we are evergreen and most customers don't just want lawn care. Great insight though! Absolutely love these videos.
i did 295.00 in a single 6 hour day, and that was using a push mower and a craftsman riding lawnmower that cuts 44 inches, im sure if i had a zero turn and better equpiment and more ' grass ' capacity im sure its possible for me to hit 400-500 a day, but i live at home so i dont have as much ' space 'as i would like, but for now, it works.
I generally make around $1200 a week and could easily make more but I choose to only work 3 days a week. I turn work down or give it away daily. The potential income is unlimited if you are motivated, disciplined ,and put everyone on a schedule.
@markcornish6393 I spend around $125 to $150 depending on which route I'm on. I pull with a 2021 F250 and it doesn't drink a lot of diesel because it's been deleted.
@markcornish6393 That or a little more. Depends on what I have scheduled. I only work 3 days a week by choice. I could easily fill up a 5 day a week schedule, but I do not wanna kill myself. The earning potential is unlimited if u r willing to put in the work but building a clientele is the hard part. I've been doing this 10 years so I'm established.
@@patrickgradyboone I’m a truck driver for the last 20 years. Honestly just tired of it and looking for a career change. I spend 12 hours a day 5 days a week sitting in traffic and I’m just exhausted. I basically do it for the money at this point. Lately I’m thinking I could make what I make now easily while working less hours in lawn care. I make $1300 bring home weekly after 55-60 hours
Yes sir, I usually get 3-5 customers a day and I’ll have to drop some next season they are too big and they don’t want to pay the extra and also yes I’m going to have those targeted areas like I should
Mapping out your trimming before trimming a lawn. Hit the trimming in stride. Back tracking on trimming kills time on each lawn. And makes you work harder than you need too.
I have over 20 houses maybe 5 houses a day at 40-45 a house. It takes me all day because of the 33inch walk behind I have. I desperately need a walk behind to make it go faster. All my houses are 5-7 mins from each other and the farthest is 20 mins. But it takes me 45mins to an hr to cut and weed. Working on getting a zero turn and trailer.
Locations like retirement communities are very profitable you literally become the go to guy for everything. I also like dealing with local real estate agencies.
Thanks Johnny for all your advise as I'm starting my own lawn care business. I've ordered the Darwin handle through your link, my back thanks you GREATLY!!Blessings Always! Joe
I cut 52 yds a week for just over $2500 per. Routings pretty good, had 5 yds 2-3 acres and the rest avg. 1/2 acre. Mostly residential, some retail, and some commercial. All fescue and included cut, trim, blow, and spray for weeds.
Greetings, I’m in the process of starting a lawn care service here in Michigan, came across your channel and became more Inspired! Looking for suggestions on tools starting with residential properties? Keep giving out helpful content on lawn service care!!! Blessings
Yes, equipment is 🔑. I invest in a tool a week, at least to improve. Also, I sharpen my blades at least once a week. I started my business and I didn't have a truck, had a Craftsman 2 wheeled mower and borrowed a truck from a friend every day and saved $, made $ off crypto and network marketing. I'll continue to add to my tool collection and look for a crew. The hardest thing about being in lawn care has been finding good help ❗️❗️❗️
I run a lawn care business in Guam so I don’t have to worry about any seasons other than summer lol. Also, these guys over here pay HUGE. But the grass isn’t like stateside grass, it’s more of a patch of weeds mashed all together to make grass.
Thanks for this video big bro! I'm just starting and have made some sacrifices to purchase good equipment 💪🏾 . Video is to the point motivating and in plain English. Much success to you!💯
Just wondering, how much are you paying for medical insurance? I imagine also that you have a growing season to consider? How do you support your living expenses when the grass slows down?
Well I am learning that it take time to build up yards that is right by each other in this business. But I get what you are saying I just will be happy when I can have my yards in one area
Great work, great work ethic, and nice video ! I like it , general facts , and putting the skills to work, great results Sir , by the way nice set up an equipment!! Be safe out there, and have a great week .
I think $500 is the most solo with a good setup. On a consistent basis. I run everything with walk behind mowers and it is not easy. U can only walk so much in a day. I struggle to make 3-400 solo with my current setup. But I am saving to get that better commercial grade mower. I do smaller yards so got my eyes on a 32 inch standar B. I also run a trailerless setup but I dont have fancy ramps. So I use standard ramps that need to be setup and broken down every job and strapped in to prevent them from falling off as I unload my 36 walk behind BOP mower . This takes time and energy. So I usually don't break em out unless yard severely overgrown or its that big of a yard. Mostly I just go with my 22 inch Honda. Its lighter quicker and better on gas, but more walking and trips to cut the grass.its a easy job but at same time its not a easy job. Sometimes I just buy a scratch ticket and hope I win 10g for that nice mower lol. I not stingy I dont want a million. Just enough to get what I need to be self sufficient lol. One day. Goals, we need to set goals.
me & my dad get done 7-3 almost everyday. idk exact number due to not knowing every single price but the cheapest day is about $500 the most is give or take $945 probably $1000 cause I’m probably off on a couple. Work all 5 days usually depending on weather if we know before hand about weather we usually try and work 4 days if it’s on a Friday. We are also doing pruning every place also not just mowing edging weed eating and blowing.
I make more then that on a weekly salary working for someone, gotta keep in mind this is solo starting most professionals have many crews, may make that a week but u can make more with actualy having employees
All depends on route density I can cut three houses in one hour if they r next to each other or two houses an hour in the same neighborhood but different streets
fixed costs you must know: loan payments, maintenance costs (blades, string, filters, oil), million dollar small biz insurance, auto insurance, theft/ fire insurance on the equipment, web site cost, software cost, accountant cost, fuel, advertisement (eddm, door hangers, FB.)
Hi Johnny I've been watching your videos for some time now and you always give sound advice. Very professional and respectful. My issue is I'm a renter on a budget and it's hard to find someone that will do a one-time mow. I have health issues that prohibit me from doing my lawn like I used to. Do you have any advice on seeking people that will mow without having to have a contract or putting me on a schedule?
Coming from somebody that mows for a living it's hard to find somebody to just do one times and if you do they are gonna charge hefty usely you just gotta find the right guy or girl willing to do it
Hey Grate videos keep up grate work I have a question I will be relocating to another state I have a lil lawn business of about 25 yards would u keep ur same prices relocating? Wats ur thoughts on that? Thanks
Great informative video, Johnny. Nice neat result to your client’s back yard. Always a pleasure for us, watching your presentations. POP SMOKE PEACE ✌️
I just started in the industry, normally I build commercial/ residential. I've got 110 accounts a week and I'm having a hard time keeping up. I'm running solo, about 12 to 13 hours a day, I'm going in this weekend too. My question is, how many quarter or third acre lawns can one guy mow in a day? Most of the jobs are located within a mile of one another and most have lots of edging, as well as fencing. I'm averaging 13 a day, but some days I've got 17-25 to complete. How do I keep up? I'm getting 20% faster everyday, but Monday is coming soon, 25 accounts! Any tips?
I’m retired and needed a way to get out of the house and keep busy, I decided to put out an ad for mowing services. The first thing I learned is to not be greedy and take on more than I can handle. 25 lawns in one day…..too much by yourself
I can’t believe how short the grass you are cutting is. Where I live people don’t want you to cut their grass unless it’s long, like several inches long. 2 weeks minimum.
Great edification Johnny‼️ I want to target some HOA areas how do you go about it? Speak to there office department give them some information than go around the neighborhood?
The best way to get into HOA's is by EDDMs because you cant solicit in most sub divisions, but once you get in the neighbors will use your services if you are tight

I've learned a lot from this channel. Thank God for RUclips. Johnny is a top notch lawncare specialists and gives out free knowledge.
My biggest thing this season is condensing routes. It's been amazing and it's a must for lawn care. Everything you said in this video is 100% spot on
I did this work for 24 yrs not for the faint at heart, grass, trees,snow,mulch,leaves,very demanding job keeps you young at heart.
You absolutely have to be a self motivated person in this line of work. Some people are motivated until that heat kicks in lol
😂👍
Facts
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare What practical steps do you take to help deal with the heat? Thanks.
If you have the right equipment the heat shouldn't be a problem.

Do you like the toro Electric weedeater equipment more than husqvarna? Can't decide both brands are local to me.
Yes, and I will be getting the new pro series from TORO soon so stay tuned
What size trailer is that?
Hey Grate videos keep up grate work I have a question I will be relocating to another state I have a lil lawn business of about 25 yards would u keep ur same prices relocating? Wats ur thoughts on that?
Thanks
Nope! Try to find ways to get the local pricing and always remember that each location and demographic have a different price.
Great informative video, Johnny. Nice neat result to your client’s back yard. Always a pleasure for us, watching your presentations. POP SMOKE PEACE ✌️
Just started this spring and have (15) yards that I do with my dad is it worth getting an LLC and insurance ? What’s your thought on that?
Yes! There's a lot of advantages getting your paperwork to make your business legit ie Taxes, liability, etc.
What do you do in the off season to keep an income flow
I don't have a off season in the south, it slows down but I'm always working
How much would you charge for a 10,000 to 15,000 sqft
Experience is big factor. Time great learner
Work hard, paid hard.
Would you recommend to keep it specifically to lawn care or landscaping too?
Some will do lawn care for 2 or 3 days and the rest landscaping
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS droppin great info.!!! Great video Johnny!! Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thanks 👍
I try to get 10-12 done per day 5 days per week weekends as catchup days
I just started in the industry, normally I build commercial/ residential. I've got 110 accounts a week and I'm having a hard time keeping up. I'm running solo, about 12 to 13 hours a day, I'm going in this weekend too. My question is, how many quarter or third acre lawns can one guy mow in a day? Most of the jobs are located within a mile of one another and most have lots of edging, as well as fencing. I'm averaging 13 a day, but some days I've got 17-25 to complete. How do I keep up? I'm getting 20% faster everyday, but Monday is coming soon, 25 accounts! Any tips?
I’m retired and needed a way to get out of the house and keep busy, I decided to put out an ad for mowing services. The first thing I learned is to not be greedy and take on more than I can handle. 25 lawns in one day…..too much by yourself
Great video and excellent points you made!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great videos, subscribed!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Always welcome
I can’t believe how short the grass you are cutting is. Where I live people don’t want you to cut their grass unless it’s long, like several inches long. 2 weeks minimum.
It's definitely up to you how much you make daily 💯
Most definitely
I knock out about 700 a day mowing. And that is hustling doing larger estate jobs. Long days. I am using top of the line exmarks.
where are you located if you don't mind me asking?
@@maunster6978 central Maryland.
Always great info Johnny thanks
Any time!
Great edification Johnny‼️ I want to target some HOA areas how do you go about it? Speak to there office department give them some information than go around the neighborhood?
The best way to get into HOA's is by EDDMs because you cant solicit in most sub divisions, but once you get in the neighbors will use your services if you are tight
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare thanks I’ve been looking into EDDM do you know the typical price I’d spend on say 500 homes?
I'm getting enough to work 2 days a week I'm fine yes sir
