I work with my dad in his landscaping business. I used to hate it when I was younger cause I thought it was tough work, but after growing up I started to see the positives in it, like the freedom of being your own boss, being able to control your work environment, not having to deal with terrible co workers(im a introvert also), being outside enjoying nature. It’s still tough work but happiness & peace is something you cant put a price on.
Also think hard work is the best solution for life’s problems. Really hard to feel depressed or useless after a hard days work. Just thickening your skin and accomplishing something with your hands. A beautiful thing
I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.
Yessss snooooooww. I think we can all agreed snow is the best time of year. Wait till you get your license and can plow. Nothing like being the only one in the road. You really think about stuff you’ve never thought about before. Have fun! Stay safe brother!
I just found your channel about a week ago, and I'm now starting my lawn care business as a side gig while I work my 9-5. I already have two customers, one $50 bi-weekly mow and one $60 weekly mow. I am grateful for the content you uploaded & the knowledge you shared. Just came back to your channel to look for some more videos to watch and was shocked to see all of them gone except this one- I hope to see them up again soon, but I understand if you're deleting them for personal reasons.

My sentiments exactly lol. I was like really? You really can find anything on UA-cam! Lol as long as someone’s creative enough to do it. Or, someone who genuinely wanted to show people how to start a mowing business. ☺️ Perhaps both!
This is awesome to see man, had a friend do the same thing after graduating with a finance degree fed up with the job market. Made like $70k his first summer. Just put out more signs than anyone and did the overgrown lawns no one wanted to

I worked in an office 36 years and due to medical issues disabled and now convinced that lawn work is my gift. When I started I did not even know how to string a weed eater or know how to stop or use the blower without getting it in my face. Thanks to these types of videos. I learned a little from all that took the time to great these videos. God bless and I am not quitting yet. Im just started...
I’m only 15 been mowing for the past 2 years solo with 46 regular clients and I built my own trailer for my push bike that fits mower and all my gear in it, and has a motor that powers the trailer wheels to get me up hills, i highly encourage other young kids with the right mindset to get into mowing, it’s 10x better than McDonald’s pay. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Yes this is a really good business for young people. It’s not for everyone though it does get hard at times. Kids nowadays are lazy and have everything they want from their parents. I bought 30 lawns from a friend in 2015. And now I have a new wright stander a bobcat and a dixie chopper and 2 trucks.
Seeing al these people succeeding in their hustles makes me happy 💪🤟💯 I’m planning to start a lawn mowing business since I’m just out of high school. I want to be able to buy a car before college starts.
My parents have had the same person doing their yard for 30 years. The man have paid off his house here, and bought a house in his hometown in Mexico. And sent his 3 kids to college here. Anyone complaining there is no way to make money is just not looking hard enough
You're an inspiration to us all, even if the others don't know it. Not only did I just start an all season lawn care business, but I'm a door to door guy so, I know all about the heat and fell in love with dri fit recently as well.
2 years later from seeing this video, got my own lawn care business and next year will be multiple 6 figures 😎😎 The video that pushed me to take that step 💪
@@216_matt the best way to learn would be to send it & figure it out bud. his method may not work for you & his towns rate could be different to yours - take the risk and create a price based on your worth/work ethic. if it snows where you are, make a rate for what work you’d want someone to do at your own home.
@@216_matt no problem buddy! I’m about to start my self - I have little knowledge too. I’m gonna start just like you - that’s how we get better! keep safe out there, one day you’ll be thanking your younger self for doing what everyone else is SCARED to do.
such a genuine person. I don’t care what level you’re at in life. You can learn something from this video about the importance of knowing yourself and knowing how to treat others. More love brother keep rising !
good for you bro. from another half-Filipino brother from Maui who quit his federal government supervisory cushy job to work landscaping full time and now feels like he has the best job and best customers, it is all worth it. All came from word of mouth from doing good work and being honest and approachable until I had to quit my job so I wouldn't lose the higher dollar work and beloved customers. I worked with plenty of landscaping companies and as a high-end gardener, but working alone is so much easier! For anyone, get your basic equipment and just take jobs as they come, do good work and allow it to grow.
Love this. I worked with a landscaping business for 2 years and the money is real. We don't need anyone to tell us how much our labor is worth. Do like my guy here and decide for yourself.
I feel like everywhere would be like that lol! Just because of the simplicity I guess? Kinda like " all your doing is pushing a mower" or something. Not like your using your brains or something unique I suppose, not sure
Not only just for the quality but also taking in account the heat. Pretty good gig since the people who don't want to work in the heat pay those prices.
Not necessarily. My gardener charges me $85 a month, comes every Friday and my lawn looks 100 times better then every lawn in this video. He does every house on my block and has every lawn looking 🔥. We're also in California.
Yeah I see he does a lot of work with one hand 😂😂 if I was the house owner and saw him doing this I’d think about hiring somebody else for those prices
An amazing and well informed presentation. Thankyou for the contribution to making the world a better place and keeping our gardens clean. Top notch value. Your a nice guy who deserves his dues. Well done to you ✌🏽❤️🇬🇧
I normally don’t leave comments but dude thank you. So motivating. I want to open a junk removal business I have the truck for it but something is stopping me and I don’t know what just keep pushing I guess.
It’s the nervousness and the “how do i go about it” mindset. Maybe or maybe not idk. But that’s how I feel when things hold me back. Just go for it homie. Sounds cliche but really G just go for it.
I would say from experience and still kinda in the same position (not after this video tho),Try to pinpoint what is bothering you and everyday move closer to the business, the closer I’ve been getting to actually executing the more I’m able to know why I feel stuck, my main problem was other ppls opinions bc my whole life I’ve been told who i am and what i have to do by my very large family but we all have to learn on our own that who you are is who you show yourself to be by the actions and thoughts you take and think daily many things can hold u back but there is a difference between people who know where they want to go and don’t, the ones who don’t go to college in debt, the ones who do think and contemplate and make there own decisions
You gotta start somewhere. Everyone walks a thousand miles step by step. Never work for free. When you see the cash coming to your pocket and the value you provide, it becomes fuel to keep going.
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing! I just started a few weeks ago with one lawn of a friend whose guy stopped showing up. His neighbor saw my work and now also hired me because he too was dissatisfied with his guy. Then I got another client who turned me down a few weeks ago, but her guy wasn’t communicating with her…point being, you’re right! Show up when you say you’re going to show up and do a good job. Thanks for the advice!
I'm white and I've had a few people look down on me for stupid reasons like that. Ignore them and keep hustling. There's people that look down on you only because your job gets you a bit dirty and sweaty..I know it's messed up but just ignore them and keep hustling
@@slcanavan1 tbh I didn't even understand what his comment meant. English is not my first language maybe that's why..If it was racist towards me then whatever. I know what I've done (and doing) to grow my business and race has nothing to do with it
@@kctyphoon so silly that someone's attitude on UA-cam can impact their well being. How ridiculous.. Hey, I got an idea, stop watching dudes UA-cam, and worry about yourself and no one else but yourself.
Bravo and thank you! I'm 59 now and started doing lawns at age 9 and then worked others jobs as I got older. I retired 6-years ago. Work hard when you are young so you can relax and still enjoy life when you are under 60.
I did construction off and on for 13 years, including cutting grass. Got tired of being outside and became a software engineer. Watching your video made me actually miss doing this kind of work. All the best, good luck!! Subbed!
Lol I'm reverse. I spent a great deal of time indoors doing technical work as well. Now I'd rather go be outdoors. It's not healthy being inside all of the time.
@@MinisterRedPill I spend a lot of time inside playing games and doing self employed lawn care and yes it definitely makes me feel healthier to do this than doing an office job not moving
@MinisterRedPill That's what I was gonna say, too. Eventually working at a desk wears on you much worse. Not only does your motivation dwindle over time, but you start to get physical symptoms from leaning on your wrists all day (numbness in hands and arms), back problems, eye issues... Working at a computer all day every day is terrible long term.
Bro i want to start mowing business, i neve had mown grass coz i am immigrant we cut it by hand in my country. i have done ones with grass trimmer but looked ugly. How to make it nice looking how can i learn. Thank you
Your title reminds me of a Ronnie Coleman quote: "Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but ain't nobody wanna lift no heavy ass weights!" Much love from a fellow Texan! Be safe, brudda, and God bless. Kick grass and rule ass!
Man I’m amazed! Not sure why UA-cam suggested this video, and I don’t know why I clicked it, but I’m glad I did, really good to see somebody working hard and hustling. Good knowledgeable video my friend. Keep it up :)
I do landscape as well and trust me he ain’t wrong, working out in the sun is boiling. But I got used to it like he mentioned. Keep up the good work brother💯🙏🏽
Bro i want to start mowing business, i neve had mown grass coz i am immigrant we cut it by hand in my country. i have done ones with grass trimmer but looked ugly. How to make it nice looking how can i learn. Thank you
I've started cutting lawns since I was 15 when I was dealing with family problems. Was hard to do it but it took motivation & dedication to get things done. Years past & my family is getting there things straightened up & i'm 18 working landscaping. I cut lawns big & small, throw mulch, trim lots & big bushes & hedges. It's not a perfect job but it's working so far. Didn't want to be that lazy kid anymore asking my parents for things I want. I push myself & find a way to do it myself. If theres a job out there, take it no matter what if you need it. This guy gave me some good tips in this vid. I start drinking electrolytes instead of cans & cans of Pepsi 😐🙏
I do the same thing you do I mow yards for a living I have 62 yards. and I really like your work ethic and you positivity towards what you do. My yards are small like yours I've been mow yards now for 5 years. The way you think and the way you do your yard are basically like the way I do my yards I also have a Black and Decker trimmer and just like you the do the work just fine because I also don't do that much trimming but if I do thy get the job done.i also use a push mower I use a Toro 22' rear wheel drive recycler I love using it. I really like Toro brand mowers and I also like using Stihl weedeaters and there blowers. So just like I said you and me basicly work alot alike.well Zach if I have any questions on something dealing with lawn care I will ask you for your opinion and any ideas that my have that might help me out. We'll keep up the really good work that you do each day. Also if you wanted to ask me any questions please feel free to I don't mind a bit. We'll take care and stay safe out there.
Thank you so much robbie!! It’s good to hear We are not alone with the way we think 👁😁 We are friends now let me know if you have any questions and I will do the same for you!
Who tf has a better job in hs anyway? Where I live, the ones that got made fun of were the fast food workers. Manual laborers had respect and we knew they had cash, they never had to flex it...
My problem is when guys that do 15 houses a day, that offer lawns cuts for $30 but they don’t trim hedges ( even when offer to pay extra), don’t pick up clippings of grass, and don’t clean out or weed Wack around bushes or flower beds or wire fences, Then when I offer my full service lawn maintenance, they want to pay the same price that these guys do cutting corners. SMH
Right on brother!! I run a small personal landscape maintenance business and your comment on the 'side hustle guy' was spot on. I stand by my prices because of the quality and service my clients receive. Keep up the awesome content!!!!
I've been in this business for over 20 years,here in Miami,Fl, where it's always 90°+ @ 90%+ humidity...biggest recommendation I have is wear LONG SLEEVES.... people think you'll feel hotter,but trust me... It's the total opposite affect
Yes. I service pools in Vegas. I cover up. I wear long sleeves, sun block it up, polarized shades, double up on hats. A regular ball cap and one huge hat that covers my ears and neck. Plenty of H20 and I start at 6AM and cut out at 12PM.
Love the hustle, when we live in a world contrived by going to college getting in debt and then working the 9 to 5 to make money for someone else. You're doing big things, and this video will give a different perspective for many lost millennials out there (including myself). Good shit brotha!
respect! and good tip on recommending folks getting off their tush in the summer and getting used to the heat and sweat! similar applies to me as a tennis coach and player. #healthiswealth
Bro i want to start mowing business, i neve had mown grass coz i am immigrant we cut it by hand in my country. i have done ones with grass trimmer but looked ugly. How to make it nice looking how can i learn. Thank you
@@fitnessforlife8966 one thing you can learn is to train your fore arms, yes. training certain muscles makes the job so much easier to do like fore arm strength which will allow you to evenly cut grass with weed eaters by leveling it to the lawnmower's set level which in itself is a skill to learn on how to do properly along with learning how to edge the side of the grass between the sidewalk and sometimes in the little water irrigations
This is my second year in business and i have 54 lawns to mow each week. One thing i know for sure is leave the slow payers, clients that want extra stuff done but dont want to pay for it, and clients that are always complaining just because they see some extra little grass hairs that you forgot to weed wack. CLIENTS COME AND GO
Get them on contract with a late payment disclaimer, giving them 5 week days to pay(not business days)...if I have not received payment in full,after 5 days of completion of labor,I charge an additional $100 fee,with an additional $20 fee per day past the 5 day window and cease any additional work until payment is made in full.....always make contracts....even if it's for a shitty $50 property....but to be honest, landscaping and tree work is where the money is at.. maintenance is good just to fill the gaps....also,STAY AWAY from any kind of government properties...I had 12, section 8 housing projects that were bi-weekly and they take FOREVER to pay
When I used to do it as a side hustle with a friend, we used an electric string trimmer. We had a customer that kept wondering why we didn't have a gas string trimmer. She acted like we HAD to have one because that's what professionals use, even though we were only charging $20 when the professional would charge $40. You gonna pay an un-professional price, you gonna get un-professional equipment that it less efficient. We did professional grade work, but just couldn't afford professional grade equipment.
It's called trimming the fat. No matter how good you're there's always gonna be complainers and/or slow payers. So you replace them with new ones next year
I don’t care how much you make, I’m happy your getting off you ass and working. I was just like you when I was young and today I’m a multi millionaire. The secret is take that money and invest it and one day your rich! You should be proud of yourself. Rich people plan for decades, poor people plan for Saturday night.
16:56 starts the most importend part. This dude is a straight up professional. I saw him for the first time right now and im so impressed. Such a cool and relaxed person. Imagine, he is my boss. I would kill for him. This dude right here is in 10 years a multi millionaire. Much respect and good luck from Germany.
From BC Canada. Great video buddy, nice work! Starting my 10th season with my small company Zelda Fences and Landscaping which is on Facebook. Start out with $250, a used mower and a weedwacker out of the back of my Ford FocusZX3 hatch. Now I have 2 vintage trucks, cargo trailer, ride on mowers.......and a great client list. Love landscaping, being outdoors in the sun making properties look beautiful.
Yup I made $85 in one hour back when I was like 15 just using my dad's Honda 21" and echo trimmer. This was about 2010. If I could scale that, it would have been awesome
At least you Americans are blessed with yards like this. Here in UK we have no places like this wherw we can work like this lmao. Amazing video though🙌
so focus on driveways and get into power washing shrub killing/weed kiilling, mulching for the little bit of lawns they do have and just progress further from there while you are working think of other things that are on the job that you know you can do or learn to do and add it to something you provide with your business
More power to ya! When the economy crashed in '07 I lost my job. Tried to make some cash passing out flyers in my neighborhood offering to cut grass. All I had was my 22" push mower, a string trimmer, and a leaf blower. Pretty soon word spread and I got more customers. Had to buy a bigger mower, then a trailer. I showed up on time, did my best, and was respectable looking, speaking, and acting. My "business" grew faster than I could keep up. I wish all success in the world to you!
Hell yeah I mow my own twice a week I always get compliments so I’m easily charging 40-50 per yard because that’s what I’m worth!!! Don’t chase them replace them!! love it!

Turning 30 and have been watching a lot of videos to get started. Little nervous, especially since I’ll only be able to do it twice a week. But you two give me hope 🤘🏼
I'm 33 and I started my own landscaping company around age 26 just like him. You can do it, too. There is enough grass for us all to cut. Have integrity, be honest, do a good job even when nobody but you knows the difference, and you'll be good to go.
The lawns you do are the ones I love. Easy to make money. Sure the big ones you can make them look awesome but they take a lot of work and usually they are much more picky.
I’m 23 and have been mowing now for 11 years. I WILL DO THIS UNTIL I CANT. Last few years I’ve started taking it more seriously, bringing in 16-20k and getting friends on board too. If I’m eating, we’re all eating. Go out and help yourself.

I don't know why this was recommended to me, I'm not even in the lawn mowing business. But I like this guy and l am a new subscriber 👍
Same here lol
probably the insane 50 bucks per lawn. he's pricey.
Something happened to me lol
You got issues bruh! Perhaps UA-cam is too complex for you to understand
Same
Kudos! This is a great way to earn money and balance your hobbies with a very decent job and reasonable income. All young boys should watch this.
my hoobi is sport betting :(
Need to get rid of games ND tictoc
I'm a young 14-year-old and watching this my money making is sport better over prize picks and doing this yard I like it now
2 years later from seeing this video, got my own lawn care business and next year will be multiple 6 figures 😎😎
The video that pushed me to take that step 💪
Are u a solo business and do u live in a place where it snows? If so what do u do during the winter? Also how many clients and how much do u charge?
@@216_matt the best way to learn would be to send it & figure it out bud. his method may not work for you & his towns rate could be different to yours - take the risk and create a price based on your worth/work ethic.
if it snows where you are, make a rate for what work you’d want someone to do at your own home.
@@OFFTHEIR. ok thanks
😆
@@216_matt no problem buddy! I’m about to start my self - I have little knowledge too. I’m gonna start just like you - that’s how we get better! keep safe out there, one day you’ll be thanking your younger self for doing what everyone else is SCARED to do.
such a genuine person. I don’t care what level you’re at in life. You can learn something from this video about the importance of knowing yourself and knowing how to treat others. More love brother keep rising !
This is a fine young man. His parents must be so proud. Way to go buddy. 👍❤️🇨🇦
good for you bro. from another half-Filipino brother from Maui who quit his federal government supervisory cushy job to work landscaping full time and now feels like he has the best job and best customers, it is all worth it. All came from word of mouth from doing good work and being honest and approachable until I had to quit my job so I wouldn't lose the higher dollar work and beloved customers. I worked with plenty of landscaping companies and as a high-end gardener, but working alone is so much easier! For anyone, get your basic equipment and just take jobs as they come, do good work and allow it to grow.
Love this. I worked with a landscaping business for 2 years and the money is real. We don't need anyone to tell us how much our labor is worth. Do like my guy here and decide for yourself.
My bro told me about the long sleeves in the heat. He worked in Saudi for a year
When I go fishing in the summer I put on a long sleeve white dress shirt. Goodwill $2 for one of them. Looking good fishing and staying cool too
My dad told me
Just not a cotton shirt... that’s a bad day. Don’t ask how I know
I’m in the nursery/landscape business, 10 years in and I’m so tired of hearing “this guys crazy for wearing a long sleeve”
*que spongebob meme*
@@riv6580 whats dumber is people asking "why you not wearing shorts in the summer?"
Smart man and smart business model. No
trailer, stick to small yards, small and basic equipment. You sir understand business. Well done
In the area I live people only want to give like $20 or $30 for a HUGE yard, then only want to call 1 time a month when their grass is 3ft high
I feel like everywhere would be like that lol! Just because of the simplicity I guess? Kinda like " all your doing is pushing a mower" or something. Not like your using your brains or something unique I suppose, not sure
@@Tyler-xp5db tbh I see it the same way. $60 dollars per mow sounds like a lot tbh. These suburb people loaded so it’s cool haha.
In southern NJ no one is paying $60 for that size lawn; $30-45 depending on frequency of cutting
20 dollars is what more people earn in my country every TWO days.
@@debunkinghistory214 yeah they're too busy paying their property tax since the pension fund ran out.
Cheap prices means cheap quality while he’s charging high prices for high quality
Yessir and I just want others to do the same 😎
eh thats not really true u got niggas who charge for the low and still hook u up
Not only just for the quality but also taking in account the heat. Pretty good gig since the people who don't want to work in the heat pay those prices.
Not necessarily. My gardener charges me $85 a month, comes every Friday and my lawn looks 100 times better then every lawn in this video. He does every house on my block and has every lawn looking 🔥. We're also in California.
Yeah I see he does a lot of work with one hand 😂😂 if I was the house owner and saw him doing this I’d think about hiring somebody else for those prices
An amazing and well informed presentation. Thankyou for the contribution to making the world a better place and keeping our gardens clean. Top notch value. Your a nice guy who deserves his dues. Well done to you ✌🏽❤️🇬🇧
I normally don’t leave comments but dude thank you. So motivating. I want to open a junk removal business I have the truck for it but something is stopping me and I don’t know what just keep pushing I guess.
It’s the nervousness and the “how do i go about it” mindset. Maybe or maybe not idk. But that’s how I feel when things hold me back. Just go for it homie. Sounds cliche but really G just go for it.
I would say from experience and still kinda in the same position (not after this video tho),Try to pinpoint what is bothering you and everyday move closer to the business, the closer I’ve been getting to actually executing the more I’m able to know why I feel stuck, my main problem was other ppls opinions bc my whole life I’ve been told who i am and what i have to do by my very large family but we all have to learn on our own that who you are is who you show yourself to be by the actions and thoughts you take and think daily many things can hold u back but there is a difference between people who know where they want to go and don’t, the ones who don’t go to college in debt, the ones who do think and contemplate and make there own decisions
You gotta start somewhere. Everyone walks a thousand miles step by step. Never work for free. When you see the cash coming to your pocket and the value you provide, it becomes fuel to keep going.
I remember doing this as a child with my father, I miss doing this as I got out to work and eat as a reward.
Should I do this as a 15 year old this summer
@@w3lder4life85 yes

Same bro. I know that feeling I used to work with my dad and lunch time was the best
@ALICO1 Praise No-thing I already work construction with a nearby company, and sometimes weld trailers for a trailer company
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing! I just started a few weeks ago with one lawn of a friend whose guy stopped showing up. His neighbor saw my work and now also hired me because he too was dissatisfied with his guy. Then I got another client who turned me down a few weeks ago, but her guy wasn’t communicating with her…point being, you’re right! Show up when you say you’re going to show up and do a good job. Thanks for the advice!
Some racist guy: “don’t you got lawns to mow. Bahahaha, grass cutter!😂😂😂”
Me: “yup”
That one racist guy must be a karen
I'm white and I've had a few people look down on me for stupid reasons like that. Ignore them and keep hustling. There's people that look down on you only because your job gets you a bit dirty and sweaty..I know it's messed up but just ignore them and keep hustling
@@Pantelifts10 your white bro you should be at chic fil a tf 😹
@@otgbaby4615 This comment is just as ignorant as all the other racist comments. Don't think you get a pass because it's directed at white people.
@@slcanavan1 tbh I didn't even understand what his comment meant. English is not my first language maybe that's why..If it was racist towards me then whatever. I know what I've done (and doing) to grow my business and race has nothing to do with it
This is the realist video I've ever ran across on UA-cam most likely ever
🙏 cool
always starts with an idea....conviction of effort...putting in the work and growing your wealth. You are an inspiration.
This nigga said “ We don’t chase them, We replace them” 🔥😄💯 Facts homie
Right
All day!!!
44 dislikes are his competition
liverstar4 damn straight 😎 people will dislike a video where all you’re trying to do is inspire other lil homies to hustle
Jus dutty bad mentality.
The dislikes are for his arrogant attitude.
@@kctyphoon so silly that someone's attitude on UA-cam can impact their well being. How ridiculous..
Hey, I got an idea, stop watching dudes UA-cam, and worry about yourself and no one else but yourself.
@Chris Fudge so why even say anything? Just go along your way and never look back. He acts like any cares about his/her opinion.
Bravo and thank you! I'm 59 now and started doing lawns at age 9 and then worked others jobs as I got older. I retired 6-years ago. Work hard when you are young so you can relax and still enjoy life when you are under 60.
I did construction off and on for 13 years, including cutting grass. Got tired of being outside and became a software engineer. Watching your video made me actually miss doing this kind of work. All the best, good luck!!
Subbed!
Hey, is there anyway I can get in touch with. I too am trying to get in the tech field. It would be nice to hear your story!
Lol I'm reverse. I spent a great deal of time indoors doing technical work as well. Now I'd rather go be outdoors. It's not healthy being inside all of the time.
@@MinisterRedPill I spend a lot of time inside playing games and doing self employed lawn care and yes it definitely makes me feel healthier to do this than doing an office job not moving
@MinisterRedPill That's what I was gonna say, too. Eventually working at a desk wears on you much worse. Not only does your motivation dwindle over time, but you start to get physical symptoms from leaning on your wrists all day (numbness in hands and arms), back problems, eye issues... Working at a computer all day every day is terrible long term.
Respect to this kid. I remember doing this as a kid with my dad doing houses. Also doing irrigation, installing new lawns. Much respect
Bro i want to start mowing business, i neve had mown grass coz i am immigrant we cut it by hand in my country. i have done ones with grass trimmer but looked ugly. How to make it nice looking how can i learn. Thank you
This is not a kid this is a responsible young man God bless him and you
Your title reminds me of a Ronnie Coleman quote: "Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but ain't nobody wanna lift no heavy ass weights!" Much love from a fellow Texan! Be safe, brudda, and God bless. Kick grass and rule ass!
lol that’s where I got the idea from 😂 yeah buddy!!! thanks my dude 🔥
Man I’m amazed! Not sure why UA-cam suggested this video, and I don’t know why I clicked it, but I’m glad I did, really good to see somebody working hard and hustling. Good knowledgeable video my friend. Keep it up :)
"Everybody wannabe on the winning team but no one wanna come to practice "🤫
i respect the grind man, like this is good shit. i’m beyond impressed at how much you have self improvement in yourself.
Wow “if the sun hurts you then the sun is not the problem, maybe the way you take care you yourself is” dude just make me wow
The smartest thing I have heard on youtube today. "Don't chase them, replace them" respect your hustle
Some of the best advice I have ever heard. And I'm already in the lawnmowing business. I find honesty pays as well.
I do landscape as well and trust me he ain’t wrong, working out in the sun is boiling. But I got used to it like he mentioned. Keep up the good work brother💯🙏🏽

I've started cutting lawns since I was 15 when I was dealing with family problems. Was hard to do it but it took motivation & dedication to get things done. Years past & my family is getting there things straightened up & i'm 18 working landscaping. I cut lawns big & small, throw mulch, trim lots & big bushes & hedges. It's not a perfect job but it's working so far. Didn't want to be that lazy kid anymore asking my parents for things I want. I push myself & find a way to do it myself. If theres a job out there, take it no matter what if you need it. This guy gave me some good tips in this vid. I start drinking electrolytes instead of cans & cans of Pepsi 😐🙏
Respect, once I get my license I’ll be on my own getting more clients, and making 💰💰thanks for the tips in the sun and about business❤️👍🏻
I do the same thing you do I mow yards for a living I have 62 yards. and I really like your work ethic and you positivity towards what you do. My yards are small like yours I've been mow yards now for 5 years. The way you think and the way you do your yard are basically like the way I do my yards I also have a Black and Decker trimmer and just like you the do the work just fine because I also don't do that much trimming but if I do thy get the job done.i also use a push mower I use a Toro 22' rear wheel drive recycler I love using it. I really like Toro brand mowers and I also like using Stihl weedeaters and there blowers. So just like I said you and me basicly work alot alike.well Zach if I have any questions on something dealing with lawn care I will ask you for your opinion and any ideas that my have that might help me out. We'll keep up the really good work that you do each day. Also if you wanted to ask me any questions please feel free to I don't mind a bit. We'll take care and stay safe out there.
Thank you so much robbie!! It’s good to hear We are not alone with the way we think 👁😁 We are friends now let me know if you have any questions and I will do the same for you!
I got made fun in high school that I mowed lawns, then they would shut up when I would show them my stack of cash. 💵💵💵😬
On god 😂😂
You bought that sick ass car with all that money?😳👍
frr until they parents make them do their own yard
same i got made fun of mowing lawns and picking up trash but i made bread and bought a gaming PC
Who tf has a better job in hs anyway? Where I live, the ones that got made fun of were the fast food workers. Manual laborers had respect and we knew they had cash, they never had to flex it...
Respect your hustle man. Simple, hard work can get you a long way!
Nobody’s going to talk about that BS Bigspin off the ledge he just did 🔥 2:14

Skaters unite
Nice job man. I sent this to my high school son. He’s been mowing a lot this past summer
I don't even know you, but im proud of you man. Your an inspiration.
My problem is when guys that do 15 houses a day, that offer lawns cuts for $30 but they don’t trim hedges ( even when offer to pay extra), don’t pick up clippings of grass, and don’t clean out or weed Wack around bushes or flower beds or wire fences, Then when I offer my full service lawn maintenance, they want to pay the same price that these guys do cutting corners. SMH
Right on brother!! I run a small personal landscape maintenance business and your comment on the 'side hustle guy' was spot on. I stand by my prices because of the quality and service my clients receive. Keep up the awesome content!!!!
I admire your work mind-set brother. I am an independent handyman and I share a lot of your views on my work, my clients and the SUN.
I've been in this business for over 20 years,here in Miami,Fl, where it's always 90°+ @ 90%+ humidity...biggest recommendation I have is wear LONG SLEEVES.... people think you'll feel hotter,but trust me... It's the total opposite affect
That and prevents cancer from to much sun exposure
I love this. Thankyou for the inspiration. I am 14 and plan to open my Lawncare business next summer.
Yes. I service pools in Vegas. I cover up. I wear long sleeves, sun block it up, polarized shades, double up on hats. A regular ball cap and one huge hat that covers my ears and neck. Plenty of H20 and I start at 6AM and cut out at 12PM.
I really appreciate your mindset.
I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while. Your my inspiration to do this
You do it?
dude, just noticed you're filipino too! super respect. filipino out here in va, lezzgoooo. got that fighter grind mentality in the blood!
My dude, much respect! You’re going to be very successful.
Love the hustle, when we live in a world contrived by going to college getting in debt and then working the 9 to 5 to make money for someone else. You're doing big things, and this video will give a different perspective for many lost millennials out there (including myself). Good shit brotha!
respect! and good tip on recommending folks getting off their tush in the summer and getting used to the heat and sweat! similar applies to me as a tennis coach and player. #healthiswealth
I had my business for over 15 years, sold it 3 times, and love this profession. Great job, content, and encouragement, continued success to you.
Really?
Bro i want to start mowing business, i neve had mown grass coz i am immigrant we cut it by hand in my country. i have done ones with grass trimmer but looked ugly. How to make it nice looking how can i learn. Thank you
why did you sell it?
@@fitnessforlife8966 one thing you can learn is to train your fore arms, yes. training certain muscles makes the job so much easier to do like fore arm strength which will allow you to evenly cut grass with weed eaters by leveling it to the lawnmower's set level which in itself is a skill to learn on how to do properly along with learning how to edge the side of the grass between the sidewalk and sometimes in the little water irrigations
@@fitnessforlife8966stop saying bro
Started my own business a few days ago cuz of your videos. I have 6 yards already and am loving it.
How’s it going?
Im 27 just went a got me a new zero turn and weed eater and blower an a in closed trailer. I pray God helps me with my new business. I love mowing
This is my second year in business and i have 54 lawns to mow each week. One thing i know for sure is leave the slow payers, clients that want extra stuff done but dont want to pay for it, and clients that are always complaining just because they see some extra little grass hairs that you forgot to weed wack. CLIENTS COME AND GO
Get them on contract with a late payment disclaimer, giving them 5 week days to pay(not business days)...if I have not received payment in full,after 5 days of completion of labor,I charge an additional $100 fee,with an additional $20 fee per day past the 5 day window and cease any additional work until payment is made in full.....always make contracts....even if it's for a shitty $50 property....but to be honest, landscaping and tree work is where the money is at.. maintenance is good just to fill the gaps....also,STAY AWAY from any kind of government properties...I had 12, section 8 housing projects that were bi-weekly and they take FOREVER to pay
When I used to do it as a side hustle with a friend, we used an electric string trimmer. We had a customer that kept wondering why we didn't have a gas string trimmer. She acted like we HAD to have one because that's what professionals use, even though we were only charging $20 when the professional would charge $40. You gonna pay an un-professional price, you gonna get un-professional equipment that it less efficient. We did professional grade work, but just couldn't afford professional grade equipment.
It's called trimming the fat. No matter how good you're there's always gonna be complainers and/or slow payers. So you replace them with new ones next year
"Maybe that's easy for me to say because I have brown skin"😂 I'm a ginger and I get sunburnt walking to my mailbox lol
Bro I’ve been skating practically all my life and been doing lawn care for the past 3 season. You got a follow from me lol
I don’t care how much you make, I’m happy your getting off you ass and working. I was just like you when I was young and today I’m a multi millionaire. The secret is take that money and invest it and one day your rich! You should be proud of yourself. Rich people plan for decades, poor people plan for Saturday night.
16:56 starts the most importend part. This dude is a straight up professional. I saw him for the first time right now and im so impressed. Such a cool and relaxed person. Imagine, he is my boss. I would kill for him. This dude right here is in 10 years a multi millionaire. Much respect and good luck from Germany.
You’re too kind my brother 🙏🔥 shoot me an email! Zach@makemoneymowing.com
From BC Canada. Great video buddy, nice work! Starting my 10th season with my small company Zelda Fences and Landscaping which is on Facebook. Start out with $250, a used mower and a weedwacker out of the back of my Ford FocusZX3 hatch. Now I have 2 vintage trucks, cargo trailer, ride on mowers.......and a great client list. Love landscaping, being outdoors in the sun making properties look beautiful.
Yup I made $85 in one hour back when I was like 15 just using my dad's Honda 21" and echo trimmer. This was about 2010.
If I could scale that, it would have been awesome
At least you Americans are blessed with yards like this. Here in UK we have no places like this wherw we can work like this lmao. Amazing video though🙌
so focus on driveways and get into power washing shrub killing/weed kiilling, mulching for the little bit of lawns they do have and just progress further from there while you are working think of other things that are on the job that you know you can do or learn to do and add it to something you provide with your business
You’re definitely on top of your game buddy! Keep it up! Let’s get this bread 😏
More power to ya!
When the economy crashed in '07 I lost my job. Tried to make some cash passing out flyers in my neighborhood offering to cut grass. All I had was my 22" push mower, a string trimmer, and a leaf blower. Pretty soon word spread and I got more customers. Had to buy a bigger mower, then a trailer.
I showed up on time, did my best, and was respectable looking, speaking, and acting.
My "business" grew faster than I could keep up.
I wish all success in the world to you!
Hell yeah I mow my own twice a week I always get compliments so I’m easily charging 40-50 per yard because that’s what I’m worth!!! Don’t chase them replace them!! love it!
Music to my ears!! Keep it up man glad to hear you're enjoying yourself 🙂

I do handyman interior/exterior work on slow days I dont lounge I do like this guys and take a cruise around downtown on my cruiser board. I stop off a couple places and light read some emails, and processes.
You are correct about eating healthy and being able to stay under the sun longer, I ride my bike to do work and the better I ate the more I was able to tolerate the sun and heat. Thanks for this summary of lawn mowing business, very helpful man!
3:44 accurate :) My white ass burning to a crisp at the beach while my brown wife is singing: "Sun! Glorious sun!"
Love the propel packets. I throw one in my water bottle in the morning and drink it throughout the day.
You need to get a go pro mount so you can stop trimming one handed. 😂😂
Big facts lol, next on the wish list 😂
This is awesome, thank you. I'm debating taking on either multiple small jobs like you mentioned or one big job where I'd spend six hours this video is really helping weigh that out. Thanks brov

I'm 33 and I started my own landscaping company around age 26 just like him. You can do it, too. There is enough grass for us all to cut. Have integrity, be honest, do a good job even when nobody but you knows the difference, and you'll be good to go.
Should have just done a $50 worthy job on the lawn instead of a $80
@@bossjulian7113 No I never do that because I give it my all or nothing I never lower my price
The lawns you do are the ones I love. Easy to make money. Sure the big ones you can make them look awesome but they take a lot of work and usually they are much more picky.
I’m 23 and have been mowing now for 11 years. I WILL DO THIS UNTIL I CANT. Last few years I’ve started taking it more seriously, bringing in 16-20k and getting friends on board too. If I’m eating, we’re all eating. Go out and help yourself.
