You don’t have to raise prices to make more money

Profit isn’t just about what you charge. When fuel prices started climbing, I saw how fast it ate into profits, especially if you’re running a lawn care business. I’ve been there. So, I made a few smart shifts to protect my bottom line: ✅ Optimized my routes using free tools like RouteXL and Google Maps ✅ Maintained my equipment with clean air filters, sharp blades, and proper tire pressure ✅ Cut out idling ✅ Changed how I refuel ✅ Got a fuel card ✅ Checked for unnecessary road tax None of these changes were dramatic. You don’t always have to charge more to stay ahead. If you can reduce expenditure, then you’ve already increased your profit. Until next time, get out there, mow lawns and have fun Stuart Lawnmowing101 P.S. Need a website for your lawn care business? |

The answer is always a clear nope. So, we start trimming not the hedges, but the client list. We let go of: Late payers Trampoline obstacle courses Difficult-access backyards And...
At the risk of sounding like Crocodile Dundee (“You call that a knife?”), I'm going to tell you how it was way back when. Back in the ’90s, I had to cut up plastic bottles just to keep mowing in the rain. I’d slice one up and cover the spark plug lead so the thing wouldn’t cut out halfway through a job. No real waterproofing back then. If you wanted to keep your mower going, you had to get creative. Today? Petrol mowers are way better sealed. Spark plugs aren’t usually the issue anymore. But...
