How Many Professionals

[Rivets]

Can be very easily posted in the persons profile, but that would depend on the persons definition of professional, not mine.

Yeah I agree! I think there should be another option for a type of member when you join this forum that is a Lawn Care Business Beginner!

Yep I agree too. I never consider myself as a professional but I get by ok after 12 years in the business. As mentioned I do it to supplement my income, and I understand alot of the guys on here that say lawn care is their income. Maybe a new section on here would help but professional, or not everyone who does lawncare if they are serious about their work, and are good at it then thats all that matters. I hate the term scabb, hack, part timer, etc it just brings you down, and makes you look un-professional about your work, and personality. But what do I know.

Are you not doing snow removal? Just wondering.

Im hoping to also add that to my business next winter, but just light snow removal. Like home drive ways and walkways. Heck I might even do small business who have small parking lots. I am just trying to focus on getting my lawncare service going. Got all the equipment I need. I recently got my business license in the mail and got some business cards printed out. This week I will get a couple of signs to put on my trailer and some sticker decals on my truck.

I just started my lawncare business about 2 years ago. This is my 3rd year. :thumbsup:

I do snow plowing in the winter time and in the summer I mow & weed-whack, edging, hedge trimming and leaf removal.

I don't think I would consider myself professional yet.

If you learn something new everyday then who really truly is a professional. I think veteran would be a better term.:smile:

I have been mowing for about 12 years as a second job, 19 lawns a week, some every 4 or 5 days. I don't consider myself a professional even though my business name is Professional's Choice Lawn Care

12 years here too, and I agree 100%.
