Lawns!



I have never lived in an area where I knew so many people with landscaping/lawncare businesses.

These men and women business owners do really really well and of those that I know three are somewhat large employers around here.

The rest are one man shows, but I mean, I can quickly think of 8 people doing this in my small circle and there are many I see doing lawn work that I do not know. Seems like a popular and profitable industry.

Lets say charge, oh $35 per lawn. I can see with a truck, a mower and trimmer machine one person could conservatively cut 8 lawns in a day. After fuel and dumping, a person should be able to earn $200 per day. More trucks and people could bring $1,000 a day  allowing for insurance etc.

Not much grass cutting going on this time of year although allot of leaves and gutters to clean up. Not to mention Parks to be repaired and grounds re sodded.
Sure the work slows a bit in the winter months but over all and from what I see, People make a good living with lawns and landscaping.
