I got 1 grass cutting job and 2 window cleaning jobs at the moment and I might have another grass cutting job in the bag and it thanks to people like you who made me get out there cause I started with 1 customer then into a couple of people
I haven’t done any of the above. To get my two clients, I paid 30 pounds for this website which will let me contact clients who require gardening work. Thanks for reminding men
There is a lot involved for your business . I was a coalmine for over 20 year s . After the strike I went back for a bit , but it was not the same . So I went into your business . Being old school I not knock on doors . Lot of leg work 🙄 .. but did pay off . Customers got to know you which to me is important . Not on a scale as you . But it did pay the bills and food on the table . I enjoy it it . So good luck , and if you get near Doncaster let me know I need a tree trimming 👍
Such a helpful video Rob. Thank you! Have messaged and mentioned you for setting up the website. Done Google business this evening, but my photos are all getting rejected, changed size, dimension, file size, everything, but still rejected. Going to have a break from it now, have a beer and relax. Thanks again.
Just found your channel today and want to say thanks, I started my own gardening business last year as a side hustle so hopefully your information can help it grow.
Great videos Rob, I’m in the process of setting up my own grass cutting business and the videos are a huge help. Would like to see a video on what system you use for invoicing.

Morning Rob Working through your videos Just started last year due to been made redundant. Still finding my feet Like the idea of the website , don’t Mind the fee either 👍 Like you always thought it was going to be expensive Maybe need to check it out Still have pricing issues though
Good luck Andrew with your new business, pricing jobs is an art that I don’t always get right, from what I hear everyone makes mistakes. What I have learned is , stick to your price if the customer isn’t happy walk away. All the best. Rob.
Hi Rob. Think I must have missed this vid? Anyway. As always. Here is my tow pennith. I've not got, or ever had, any social media or online presence. I work everyday and most weekends. That said. I've been in this game a few yrs now. So I have regular customers I've had for years to see me through. I still think in analogue. By brain hasn't made the transition to digital yet......thankfully. I think I should go "on line presence" but really. I wouldn't have time to fit in any new work it may create.
Crikey that’s brilliant advice and I’ve noted it down on my phone notes for when I finally make that step to setup my own business! Cracking channel and keep them coming mate 👍🏻💪🏻
Hi rob, just wondering what company you used to create your website & what it cost, im looking to have one made to generate some more work for next season. Thank you
Glad you’re getting plenty enquiries Rob. Have you joined the Facebook groups for gardening. They are helpful if you have questions on anything from plant names to marketing.
Thanks Scott , doing ok , always room for improvement got to keep moving forward. Yes I am on a few of the FB groups, agree some good advice gets passed on. All the best.
Before my first job, I did the website, google business page, google maps, yell.com free line, Thompson local free line and a Facebook business page sharing posts with up to twenty groups every week. After that the work came flooding in. My advertising budget is £9 per month. I hope that helps.👍🏻
Hi Rob, Only found you tonight, Had a look at a couple of your videos and your doing well with them good on you 👍 I'm currently in security ( I believe you use to do that your self ) But i'v just finished my business startup NVQ Level 2 course. I'm looking at getting in to jet washing and window cleaning and I have been thinking of doing gardening as well, may as well as I was being doing everything elcs at a clients property lol Anyways what I whated to say was, thank you for for the informative videos they actually help a lot, I think marking and qouteing is always hard when you start up a business trying to feel the ground so to speak.

Just found your page… well done mate! Enjoying the content! Going to start planning gardening as my side hustle
Good luck James, let me know how you get on.👍🏻
Also have people not want to do every fortnight, how to fix regular maintenance with them thanks a lot
I visit weekly or fortnightly.
Otherwise your schedule gets mixed up.👍🏻
Very helpful content, can i ask your age as im thinking am i to old for this business at 50
I am 56 this year. Age is a number. It’s definitely physically challenging, build slowly.
Morning Rob
Working through your videos
Just started last year due to been made redundant.
Still finding my feet
Like the idea of the website , don’t Mind the fee either 👍
Like you always thought it was going to be expensive
Maybe need to check it out
Still have pricing issues though
Good luck Andrew with your new business, pricing jobs is an art that I don’t always get right, from what I hear everyone makes mistakes.
What I have learned is , stick to your price if the customer isn’t happy walk away. All the best. Rob.
Nice video, how do you deal with cheap scaping people? I’m only getting with these kind situations
Drop them and move on. 👍🏻
Hi Rob. Think I must have missed this vid? Anyway. As always. Here is my tow pennith. I've not got, or ever had, any social media or online presence. I work everyday and most weekends.
That said. I've been in this game a few yrs now. So I have regular customers I've had for years to see me through.
I still think in analogue. By brain hasn't made the transition to digital yet......thankfully.
I think I should go "on line presence" but really. I wouldn't have time to fit in any new work it may create.
If your busy and it works what you do , why change. For someone starting out it would be difficult without an online presence.
All the best.👍🏻
@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices totally agree👍
Can you do a review on the Honda roller mower cause I’m thinking of getting a hayter
I will yes. Don’t buy the Hayter 48 pro. Too heavy, only good if the ground in bone dry.
All the best.
Crikey that’s brilliant advice and I’ve noted it down on my phone notes for when I finally make that step to setup my own business! Cracking channel and keep them coming mate 👍🏻💪🏻
Thanks for watching Karlito, good luck with your new business. All the best Rob.👍🏻
Hi rob, just wondering what company you used to create your website & what it cost, im looking to have one made to generate some more work for next season. Thank you
A company called your simple site.
£10 per month for everything. 👍🏻
I'm thinking of making my own gardening business in East Anglia what are your best tips
Try watching lots of RUclips videos getting as much advice and information as you can.
Get your marketing right.
Good luck.
@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices
I will let you know how I get on

How soon did you go ahead with your website?
Before my first job, I did the website, google business page, google maps, yell.com free line, Thompson local free line and a Facebook business page sharing posts with up to twenty groups every week.

My advertising budget is £9 per month.

Dog mess that hasn't been cleaned before mowing gets charged as taken away waste for me. I didn't set up to clean up crap
You make an extremely valid point.
I should note that if the client is elderly or disabled and own a dog then I wouldn't charge. Its more of a lazy tax on everyday folk
