Here's something interesting: When you're finishing up a mowing job, you grab the blower to tidy up. You clear off the tiny pieces of grass from the concrete and tarred areas. The customer doesn't want to see clippings when they get home from work. Simple enough. But here's where it gets tricky... The problem starts when there are a lot of leaves or other debris on the drive. You can clean the first meter or so easily. But where does it stop?
So what do you do? This is where having the right blower matters. With a smaller blower, you can lightly blow the grass off the edges and leave the rest. You're not trying to deep-clean the entire driveway. You're just removing lawn clippings. That's the job.
The lesson here: Knowing where your job stops and extra work begins is what keeps you profitable. If you don't set those boundaries with your equipment and your process, you'll end up doing work you weren't paid for. Choosing the right blower isn't just about power. It's about matching the tool to the work you're actually getting paid to do. Weight, fuel type, power, and price—they all matter depending on the size and type of jobs you're running. I've put together a full breakdown on the website covering everything from weight considerations to what can go wrong with blowers (spoiler: not much; they're bulletproof). So if you want to know how to choose the best leaf blower for your lawn-mowing business so you're not doing free work or killing your back...

The robots are coming. You know, when I think of a cruise-y retirement, I used to think of sitting in a rocking chair, having a beer, and watching someone mow my lawn. Now that is the life…Nowadays I think a bit differently. The way the future is heading, I can probably look forward to a self-driving car among other wonderful things. But lately I have been thinking of a cunning PLAN… When I give up mowing lawns, I might just buy a bunch of robotic mowers and rent them out. That way I can just...
I have seen so many mistakes with this. Buying or selling a lawn care business When I started mowing lawns, it was shortly after engines were invented. I wasn't just a lawn guy. I also had a sign-writing business, and I loved marketing. Z After I built my first lawn business, I got board. I liked the thrill of the chase and the building part, but when I was full, I couldn't do this anymore. So I started selling my excess lawns. I then began selling the whole lawn business and building new...
I started my business in a simple way, as a lot of lawn guys do. With a cheap station wagon and a mower. Hell, I didn't even have a blower for the longest time. It was the late 80s, and a lot of us guys just tipped our trimmers on their sides and used those. However, one thing that I bought as soon as I could was a trailer. It was a necessary piece of equipment. I was doing lawns, garden cleanups, and a bit of tree work, so it was necessary. In the early days, I did get stuck a few times in...
