Thanks for the well wishes guys. I figured I need about 35-40 weekly yards to bring home what I was before, but I dont need that much to make it. I can make it very comfortable with about 20 weekly yards. Right now I have three that amount to 5 as far as money Biggest problem is people that only want it bi-weekly. Itll come around though, got a nice sign to mount on my trailer this afternoon

Once you get enough yards tell the bi-weekly's you can only afford to do every week, and if they don't want to do that just drop their ***. Small businesses are always good money and a good way to start aquiring commercial accounts.

LOL.......... I opened my own auto repair shop. That evening on the way home, I thought what the hell have I done. Anyway, it's the best move that I have ever made. Wish I had done in 10 years sooner. Next month will be my 5 year Anniversary. Looking to open a second location soon.

Good Luck!

I totally agree with MEANZ71. Industrial plants and places like that, even during the winter(down here) they keep it maintained. Might be a lil slower than summer, but its still constant work. And advertise as much as possible. They won't call if they never heard of ya. Good luck to ya!

You might want to advertise in my neighborhood. There's a good bit of lawn care businessmen rolling around... WEEKLY too!

I cut my yard for exercise. So you'd lose there. But, my subdivision has a lot of retirees as residents. You know where my area is.
