This Simple System Could Double Your Lawn Care Profits


A lot of guys in lawn care are full, but they’re still not earning what they want.

And the thing is… they’re not sure why.

They’re turning down new jobs because their schedule’s packed.
They’ve got lawns they’ve been mowing for ten years… but the prices are just as old.
No wonder the numbers aren’t adding up.

What they should be doing is simple:

Start treating every new quote as an opportunity to upgrade your business.
Don’t just say “no” because you’re full.
Say “yes” and use that new job to replace one of the old underpriced lawns.

But first, you need a system.

Something that tells you exactly what each lawn is worth.

Something like a traffic light system:

  • 🟢 Green: Great lawns. Good pay. Keep them.
  • 🟠 Orange: Meh.
  • 🔴 Red: Underpriced. Time for a change.

Start with the reds.

Raise the price on one red lawn a week.
If they say yes, great, you’re earning more.
If they say no? Replace them with a better-paying lawn.

If you’ve got 50 to 100 lawns, you won’t even feel it.
But your bottom line will.

Do that long enough, and you end up with a business that grows in value every year.
Or you can keep mowing the same old lawns forever.

Your choice.

Until next time,Get out there, mow lawns, and have fun.

I knew a guy who wanted to be the "everything" man. Mowing? Yes. Gutter cleaning? Sure. Chemical spraying? You bet. He thought saying "yes" to every request was the fast track to growth. Then came the day he mixed the wrong batch for a weed-and-feed job. By Tuesday, the customer’s prized front lawn was a sea of crispy, yellow straw. Total disaster. He called his insurance company, feeling glad he had a policy. Then came the worst part... "Do you have a chemical handling license?" they asked....

He had the sports car. The boat. The big house with a home office for his accounting business. To most people, he looked like he had it all. Every time I mowed his lawn, I’d make sure to smile and wave. I didn't think much about that. I always do that. One afternoon, he walked over to me while I was working. "You have such a great attitude," he told me. Not like the last guy..."Every time he showed up, he complained. He told me that he was a qualified locksmith who was mowing lawns because he...

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve pulled up to a quote only to hear the same story: "My last lawn guy just... stopped showing up." He didn’t move. He didn’t retire. He just ran out of steam. Most of these guys are great at mowing, but they’re terrible at business. They treat their business account like a personal piggy bank. They have no buffer for when a transmission blows. No plan for the winter "dry spell." They work themselves into the ground until the engine—or the bank...
