Be seen. Be remembered. Be hired.


There’s a saying in marketing:
People need to see your brand seven times before it sticks.

And in the lawn care world, most of those “seven times” happen when you’re not even thinking about marketing.

Like when you’re out there mowing a lawn in a branded shirt.

Your truck might be parked down the street, but they will still know who you are.

While you are just mowing the lawn.

But someone walking their dog… someone peeking through the window… a curious neighbor glancing over the fence…

They see your shirt.
They see the name.

Maybe just for a second, but it counts.

That’s one touch.

Next time they see your cap at the garden center?
That’s two.

Then they see your truck travelling around town.
Three.

You are starting to become easier to remember and front of mind next time they are looking.

You are becoming a brand.

And the magic of branded clothing is that it follows you everywhere.

You don’t have to do anything extra, you just show up, do the job, and people will start to notice your business.

The best part?
You don’t even need a big audience.

Just one neighbor noticing your shirt while you’re mowing next door… and suddenly, you’re on their list.

Branding isn’t about flash.

It’s about being seen enough times that people remember you when it matters.

And a well-designed shirt or cap?
That’s silent marketing with a long game.

Cheap, simple, and surprisingly effective.

Until next time, get out there, mow lawns and have fun

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...

I was talking to someone a few years ago. He thought he’d found an easy way into the lawn care business. A guy was selling a “client list” supposedly a full book of paying customers, ready to go. No equipment. No truck. No business name. Just names on paper, for a price that seemed too good to be true. He bought it. Started calling the customers. First one? Didn’t know who he was.Second? Didn’t even have a lawn. After 15 calls, he gave up. The list was fake. The money was gone. And so was the...
