I am well equipped and can do anything they ask. I don't have high dollar equipment but I have everything I need. I will upgrade once I am established or am in need of better equipment. I am on Facebook, instagram, and twitter already and I am going to try to get a website. But I'm not gonna waste a lot of money on that stuff. But I will do whatever it takes to get this business going and go out on my own. Anything else you could suggest would be great and I appreciate your help.
I really don't know what to tell you because anything that worked for me here in Florida may not work for you in your location. I myself work sub-divisions off golf courses and run about 70 clients a week.
What I can tell you is this, keep your client list close together so as to cut down on gas for the truck and drive time. My whole route is within a 4 mile radius, it can help with cutting down your overhead. Also find a dealer and work with him on buying your equipment and supplies, oil, oil filters, edger blades etc get a discount and if you can buy bulk you'll get a better price. Another thing to remember is that in Lawn Care time is money and you can't afford down time, down time not only cost you money but it can also cost you clients so back up your equipment when possible, have two of everything, trimmers,edgers, blowers, push mowers as well as your main mower.
The warning that I can give you is to always remember the Lawn Care business is a cut throat business and there's always some other business ready, willing and wanting to take your clients and they will do it in a heartbeat.
