Cant we all just get along?

:laughing:Getting along is generally Easy for most of us...
Ric has a problem with that concept, and seems to always be in a hurry to dislocate his arm or shoot himself in the foot.
For the most part, this is the best group of Forums on the net... this particular subject "Starting a lawn care business" has many methods to consider, and as Carscw has pointed out, not everyone will be doing things the same way... (some will not be able to do some things....)

Choose the business model you want & keep to it... I have always admired folks that are driven by a passion & do what they enjoy, seems like their results are Much better than those simply doing A Job.... :smile:KennyV

Agreed. However this is a "Starting" A business not already in business and being picky type and if someone were to start by doing what he does they would be doomed he had mentioned that when he started he took any job he can. Thats what you have to do, and holding starters to that high of a standard is to much. I would like to know how he started not what he is doing now.

The bottom line is when your starting out you need to take what you can.
If your doing a $15 yard or a $100 yard just take some pride in what your doing.
Every yard you cut is advertisement someone will drive past and say wow that yard is really starting to look nice I wonder who they have doing the yard work.

When I started out I was working on a golf course and did grass cuts on the side ( cheap mow and go yards ) was not happy doing cheap yards I wanted my yards to look as perfect as the course did. So I started talk to the members and got there yards.

I truly do this out of love of the perfect yard that I have not found yet
