Leaf Raking Business Lawn Care Business Leaf Blowers, Rakes, and Money

www.StartALawnCareBusiness.com The hot summer months are mostly behind us now and you might be thinking that the lawn care business will be coming to a standstill for the rest of the year. Nothing could be further from the truth because September, October, and November are leaf raking months. This is a hugely profitable time of the year. It is possible to make more money during these months than during the grass cutting season since there is such a huge demand for leaf raking services. If you can do your leaf raking jobs properly and efficiently and if you can price them correctly then you can make a tremendous amount of money. I urge you to get ramped up. If you haven’t started your lawn care business yet, get started right away and advertise your leaf raking services. If money is an object, don’t be deterred. We have helped people get started with just a rake and a pair of gloves. No matter how small you start, you need to start off on the right foot. The estimating software comes with our business package and there is also free email support. So, if you have any questions we are always happy to help. The website is StartALawnCareBusiness.com We offer a professionally produced Lawn Care Landscaping business package which shows you how to start a lawn care business. Included in the guides is information on how to do leaf raking jobs properly and how to price those jobs profitably. Once again, the website is: www.StartALawnCareBusiness.com

Lawn care business growth of 200% – GopherHaul 60 Lawn Care Forum Show

www.gopherforum.com – What would you do if you received a phone call from a local landscaping company and they offered to give you all their lawn care customers? Would you find this to be a curse or a blessing? At first glance it may seem like a fantastic opportunity to jump on, however there are many issues to consider. This is a situation a member of the Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum was facing when he wrote us about it. How much growth is helpful and how much is too much? He wrote “I just got a call from another landscaping company in town who has been doing yard care as well as landscaping. He wanted to know if I would be interested in taking on his yard care clients as he has decided to concentrate on landscaping only. He is willing to turn them over to me, however I am not in the position of being able to handle them all. It would increase my client base by 200%, which would require hiring guys. The extra work would be awesome, but here are my issues.

www.gopherforum.com – With many small lawn care businesses, the owners tend to feel there is more money when you get in and get out fast. However as we will see in this discussion, offering more services than simply lawn mowing can help you be on the job site longer. The longer you are on the job site, the better your chances are of meeting neighbors and others driving by. These meetings can lead to adding new customers. One of the members of the Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum asked a question that kicked off this discussion I thought of a neat idea for all of us. Everyone will state what services we offer & explain how you go about doing them if you want. This will give everyone a clear idea on what services they might add to their business. Ill start. Services I Offered. Gutter Cleaning Weeding Spring Cleanups Topsoil/Fertilizer/Grass Seed Hedge Trimming Branch Cutting THE SERVICES I WANT TO START: Grub Eliminating Aeration, $50.00 a yard is the cost around here. Driveway Crack Sealing (id add dye to the sealant to create the aged color) THE SERVICES I DONT WANT TO START: Gardening, planting Tree Removal Anything that keeps me in the same spot for the entire day. I dont like to stay in one spot doing a big job, which could bring me really nice income. I like lawn mowing because its quick & keeps me moving, I tackle a lot more & it feels great. I do weeding, but personally I hate at a job site for even more than 5 minutes. As for landscaping in general, even if Im good …

LAWN CARE BUSINESS money by bidding Government Contracts
18
Oct
www.StartALawnCareBusiness.com You may be wondering how you can make more money with your lawn care business by bidding on larger scale contracts and city & government contracts in your local area. I want to go over a code of conduct form with you. This is not a bid-specific form but it does give you a code of conduct so you can learn how you can bid on upcoming jobs. Proposal Forms I want to highlight a few finer points of this contract bidding instruction booklet. The first point is the Proposal Forms. Most bidding packets come with a series of bidding forms. You must complete the bidding forms that come with the bidding packet. Do not fill in your own forms or simply write your prices on a sheet of paper. Your bids may be rejected if you fill them out on anything but the bidding forms that come with your bidding packet. Late Bids: Make sure you get your bids in on time. If you are late on a bid, the purchasing agent will, most likely, reject your bid. I have seen lawn care companies attempt to turn their bid packets in 2 minutes after the bid-closing times and the purchasing agents have rejected those bids. 9:00AM means 9:00AM and not 1 minute after 9:00. Acceptance of a bid is a violation of the request for proposal and could cause the job to be rebid. I like to submit time sensitive bids a couple days in advance. Rushing to get your bid in at the last minute will cause you to make mistakes. Taking your time with bid preparation allows you to calculate your prices …
