Last year it rained atleast one day per week all summer long. Grass never died and anybody that ever wanted to start their own grass cutting business got plenty of work last year. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry that owned a mower and trailer got into the grass cutting business. Last year was an unusual year. It would be nice looking for the same rainfalls again this year but my bet is it aint gonna happen. After the low ballers gets thru there should be alot of mowers, trailers, blowers, edgers, and weed eaters for sale before this summer is over.

Some of you sound like plumbers. Times are tough in America, people will do what they have to do.

Yesterday a guy wanted someone to cut 3 acres about 10 inches tall. I told him $150 just to cut it nothing fancy.
So then the meth heads came out the wood work. Lowest one came in at $30

30$!?!? That is insane! That would be the cost alone in gas to mow 10 inch tall grass!

I'm glad the low ballers are taking up the customer base that I wouldn't want to perform service for anyway. Also, when the customer realizes they are a here today gone tomorrow mowing crew then they will call someone who is in this for the business.

I would have been glad to cut 3 acres for $100 especially if not much weed eating. We could have been gone in an hour probably.
