My backup plan used to be panic. Here’s what I do now instead
|
There’s this moment every lawn care operator dreads: You pull the starter cord, and nothing happens. And suddenly, you're sweating—but it’s not from the sun, This happened to me more than once in the middle of a busy day. I did that for years. And then I started to notice something… The first thing the shop did was change the spark plug. It got me thinking: So, I started keeping a few small backup parts in the van. One of them? If a mower won’t start, I can swap it out in a few minutes— That one tiny part saved my entire day. Since then, I’ve built a habit of keeping backup gear and rotating it regularly. Old mowers become spare parts donors. And even better? If you want to keep your backup mower in good running order, No more nasty surprises. Stuart Lawnmowing101 P.S.

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...
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...
