I used to treat hedge trimming like a quick job. Trim it up, tidy the mess, collect the payment, and move on. But over time, I started noticing something… Most of these clients were ringing me up ad hoc when the hedge got out of control. That’s when it hit me: This wasn’t a one-off clean-up job. So I changed how I offered the service. Instead of saying, “I’ll trim your hedge,” And suddenly, those one-and-done jobs? Clients loved it. Their hedges looked better with less effort. And the best part? It made the job easier. If you’re offering hedge trimming or thinking about it, try making it a regular service. You’ll get better results, happier clients, and steadier income. Everybody wins. Stuart Lawnmowing101 P.S. Need a website for your lawn care business? |

When you're just starting out, it's easy to feel like you're already behind. The big guys have flashy trucks, commercial-grade gear, and full-time admin staff handling their bookings. You? You're loading a mower into your personal car, hoping everything fits. But here's the thing most people miss: You can beat the big guys by being faster, leaner, and hungrier.
