My $2.55 Uniform for Lawn Care

- In this video I briefly discuss my low cost uniform strategy, and what uniformity really means for professionals, without all the expensive custom logos and branding.
I get large and XL 100% premium cotton shirts for $2.55 each (about five bucks for the XXL). Here's where I got them from, I don't get paid for the referral.

I like your thought process, new sub here! Only thing is...I JUST bought an exmark 30 😆
lol It has two big pluses, if you are starting out it does not require a trailer or much space, and it will cut time over a 21". Only problem I see is that once you start getting many accounts it's just too much work moving it around turns and running behind it. It's very heavy. It was a phenomenal relief when I bought a mower with a sulky.
I'm solo I like the camo shorts and light shirts that's my daily uniform✔️💯
Good video. Ive always worn collared shirts. I like the idea of t-shirts but I sweat too much and it just sticks to my skin more than i like. 2.50 a shirt is nice though. This year I purchased 4 button up short sleeve collared shirts made by Wrangler. Got them at Walmart for about 16$ a piece. Been really happy with the quality. They've held up great and I'll get another season or two out of them. I didn't opt for uniformity in color but that might be an option going forward. Just trying to be professional with my attire. I enjoyed your hedge trimming video but comments were turned off. Im in Atlanta so I do ongoing shrub trimming for my customers as well, which comes out to monthly or at least every 1.5 months. So much easier that way. Less tiny leaves to clean up. Do you know the pinestraw bed leaf clippings trick? Lol
The color uniformity is mostly just for when you have helpers. When I am solo in winter I just wear my hat, nicer shirts, and stuff like you mention. Small trimmings decompose and blend in usually with the pine straw; I didn't realize comments was off, I will go to that video and turn them on and reply re hedge trimming feedback there, thanks!
I go to dollar general to get my plain red or lime green shirt.
You guys that wear cotton and short sleeves sound crazy to me down here in south east Texas.
Make sense about peeing in bushes lol
I had a young kid helping me disappear one day for ten minutes. No idea where he went. He had knocked on the door and asked to use their bathroom :D

Great tip on the shirts
How much do you net on your lawn business?
Depends on the day, but twenty lawns at 35 each is 700 gross. 15 lawns at 40 each is 600. Etc. Subtract what you think would be gas and supplies, plus a helper. Plus tools & equipment, truck expenses, trailer. When I first started my loan payments were about 200 per month total for all my stihl handhelds, a 30" exmark, and a 48" exmark walk behind with a sulky. Hope this helps.
