Here is a message I got 7 hours ago “Before you go into business with someone, ask yourself, would I marry them?” I’m only half-joking when I say that. If the answer is no… The longer I work with lawn businesses, the more it makes sense. Business partnerships can be just as intense as a marriage. You share money. And just like a marriage, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. I’ve seen partnerships fall apart over the dumbest things: One guy thought he was doing all the hard work. Guess how that ended? Here’s a clue: silence, resentment, legal letters. But I’ve also seen the other side… Two people with clear boundaries, different strengths, shared goals, and a plan. A business partner can either be rocket fuel, or a grenade. If you're thinking about partnering, 🔹 Only partner when your goals align and your work ethic matches Or… skip the partner altogether. If you don’t want the baggage that can come with a partner, We help every step of the way — Until next time, get out there, mow lawns and have fun Stuart Lawnmowing101 PS.

But someone walking their dog… someone peeking through the window… a curious neighbor glancing over the fence… They...
When you're just starting off, you want to say yes to everything. And honestly, if you've got the gear, you're confident doing the work, and it helps pay the bills? Then go ahead. Take the job. I did the same. In the early days, I was doing a bit of everything. Mowing, hedging, pressure washing, the odd bit of garden cleanup. If someone asked, I said yes. But as time went on, I started to see the cracks. Some jobs were a pain. Some didn’t pay that well. Some required gear I barely used, just...
When I first started my lawn mowing business, I thought I was being smart with my money. I found a cheap van for sale. It looked good, and I was imagining how much better it would look with a bit of sign writing. It ran fine during the test drive — and it would be perfect for mowing, I thought. So I bought it. About a month later, the engine blew up. Completely stuffed. No warranty. No recourse. Because it was a private sale. I was gutted. It felt like a kick in the guts, especially that...
