    Get some landscape safety glasses and gloves. Mail is expensive. You would be better putting a magnetic sign for your truck. Zillow is a great way to get an estimate to customers. It has both the square footage of house and property. Basic math will get you square footage of yard work. Don’t forget applying for biz credit cards. When I started mine, I couldn’t get a biz loan for 6 months. A year later, I received $1.4m in biz credit. It’s the easiest way to expand. Also, on your website, get video customer testimonials.

    Hello Mr Andes. This is Phelps. I'm currently at 13 mowing customers with a goal of 40 this season. So I am going to start putting signs in the yards of the customers I have and do the door hangers. But what type of sign should I do.
    For example: some fertilizer companies near me put a small sign in the yard they service and some put bigger signs. Which do you think is best for getting more clients?
    Should they be a certain shape?
    Should the sign have my phone number and business name the same size? Or have the name or number larger than the other.
    Thanks for reading and enjoy your day

    If there’s 2 people on a crew and it takes them 15 minutes to do a yard it would take a single person double + 5 minutes at least because while one person cuts one trims then they blow down either together or the rider blows down and it shouldn’t take longer then 5 or so minutes to blow down a basic house.

      I’m not as experienced but lived in a fairly rural area and there are go to places everyone in your town goes. Think a certain food place and gas station or the one entertainment thing there. Ask if you can post flyers there or even pay for a big banner or something. Or sponsor some type of event at it so your name and cards are all over the place. Make friends with a restaurant owner and maybe get your cards put at the counter and in every to go order and in turn you do monthly gift card giveaways to one of your recurring customers to the restaurant to bring him business.
