Start a lawn care business

Start a lawn care business: Grass keeps growing, so one customer can mean a whole season of work. 1) Start with what you have: a mower, a trimmer, and a way to carry them. 2) Pick streets close together, because driving is time you do not get paid for. 3) Set a price per mow by the size of the lawn, and write it down.
