Want to know how to make money mowing lawns?
While it may not be an obvious no-brainer, you can make big money mowing small lawns in your lawn mowing business.
Small lawns aren’t usually the first choice for lawn care business owners. They hate unloading their equipment to work on a lawn that takes 10 minutes to mow.
It almost feels like it takes more time to drive there and unload than it does to do the work.
However, you can make big money mowing small lawns—making these jobs more profitable in the process. It’s all in how you sell.
