He bought a lawn business after two weeks of looking. Customers started cancelling. Turns out, the seller had been doing little odd jobs for clients for free. The buyer had no idea this was going on. It wasn’t in the contract. But now he was expected to keep up the same friendly freebies… He chose to lose the work. This kind of thing happens all the time when people buy lawn care businesses. Everything looks great on the outside. You’ve got:
The unfortunate truth? You’ve got someone who knows how to mow lawns — but not how to package and sell a lawn business. How do I know this? I thought I’d done everything right. The second time around, I learned. Now — after building and selling for over 30 years — I’ve either seen (or made) nearly every mistake possible. If you’re thinking about buying a business, don’t go in blind. In my membership, I have a step-by-step guide on buying (or selling) a lawn care business. And this isn’t stuff I picked up on the internet. I share the real checklists, questions, red flags, and buyer insights you won’t find on forums or YouTube. It’s made for people who want to buy (or sell) a lawn business — and not get burned in the process. As a bonus, I even give you a place where you can find a seller or buyer for free.

Stuff like: “Client may cancel at any time, without notice or compensation.” “All liability falls on the contractor.” “Work must be completed regardless of the weather.” I read it twice and still didn’t know what I’d be agreeing to. So I politely said, No thanks. Now look, it’s not that I’m against agreements. I think everything has its...
It was all going so well... I had a slow leak in one of my tires. Been topping it up when I could (amazing how many gas station air pumps are broken, by the way). Anyway, time to fix it. I wasn’t going back to my usual place; they botched a job once, and I failed the inspection. So I tried a new spot: World of Tires. Looked good. Bay ready. Nice start.
