Hey Nick be careful going solo you don’t wanna burn yourself out I know you know how to pace yourself I used to do it at least get one guy foot trimming if you get sick you’re screwed you still have to have time for Mama and baby Money is not everything just keep that in mind
Rain will mess the schedule up. If you don't want to work on the weekends plan on 3 to 4 days of work. You will need special project days too for mulch jobs, cleanups and such.
Good advice and motivation along with previous video (when to quit) for people looking to work for themselves. All I would add is don’t forget mindset, that’s the secret to self-employment. You really have to want it and not just for the money. It’s obvious from your many videos you enjoy the hard work and constant challenges that come up daily. Self-employment is a successful venture when the mindset is positive and focused on finding solutions yourself everyday, and not blaming others or equipment, whatever. Keep up the hard work and great videos 🎥 👍👍👍😊
I’ve tried solo, solo with one helper, solo with 2 helpers, out of the truck one helper, out of the the truck 2 helpers. The most profitable for me. Solo was always the most profitable.But solo with a helper is my favorite and can be just as profitable if your prices are right and that helper is a rock star. ....tttotally dude!
It’s not about the weeks and it’s not about mowing year-round it’s about year-round service. Go back a few videos and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Love da vids Nick!!! I do lawn care part time because I love my full time job!!!! I have about 25 customers that I just do mow, edge, blow and go... I made around $35000 last year, I have 25 customers with an average of $45 per cut weekly!!! All my customers are with 0.25 miles from my residence so route density is key, I have 8 customers on my street I live on so I think route density is key for me. Just got to have the hustlers mindset as well... So it's possible to make a good living cutting grass... I do no mulching, hedge trimming or any other landscaping just grass cutting, now I will say that I work 7 days a week but only 3-4 in the evenings after work and the rest on the weekends for 7 or 8 months during the mowing season!!!!!! So in closing, just to let your viewers know that you can make good money out here in these lawns.... Keep the videos coming Nick, Love them!!!!!!
You aren’t mowing weekly for 52 weeks of the year so that number is not correct. Most company’s cut weekly 32-36 weeks of the year so that is a more accurate number from the estimate you gave us ninjas.
That is correct Brandon, at the same time as I mentioned in the video it’s a rough estimate but also locking in those year-round services plays a big role in all this
Good idea. What do you do in the winter months? Do you charge your clients a set price every month of the year so your monthly income doesn’t change a lot year round? Also how do you lock the clients in? With a contract?
I now this is old video. Yep after learning what works. Went solo making more money 💰. Along as your body can hold up. No more cry baby's excuses and wasted money on someone else. Unless you have big commercial accounts. Its better solo. 2 years ago. I went Hon solo...
You can't cut grass 52 weeks a year unless you live at the equator. Michigan cutting season is 28 weeks, also you usually don't want to plan more than 4 days a week to plan for rain days
Jackson’s yard care J.Y.C. Keep the routes dense I do 20 lawns a day have 10 that get mowed bi weekly so on bi weeks it’s 22 a day I run Monday to Thursday to allow for rain and maintenance
ok, dont forget that to do this, theres so much envolved here. 1. you have to have a good work ethic and the drive. 2. you must be on time and get up early. 3. being able to do repairs. 4. have good manners and taking responsibility. 5. not having to take a loan for starting a business. 5. not being dependent on your earnings till you make profits. knowing about policies and insurance. theres more to it than the earnings, so not sure your advice is all that good. no pun intended!!!!
Also people think about adding sub contractors, I have a tree guy. I get the work and he gives me 30% of the price and I don’t have to do anything! Great for extra monies!!!
I do lawn care here in Nothern California and honestly none of the clients i have likes to see grass clippings in the lawn after mowing, or a not perfect edging, and theres no way i can charge 50 dlls per cut around here fertilizer and weed control included. I guess Tennessee seems more profitable in the lawn industry. What do you think?
I look at it about the same. 10 yards a day @$50 per yard is $500 a day. 5 days a week is 2500 per week. A good average of mowing weeks is 40 weeks x $2500 is $100k per year. Then add in the other work(mulch, trimming, aeration) That is a more realistic approach and answer to the situation. But still, No doubt you can make great money in the lawn care business. And it's a hustle like no other.
It was more or less an example jazzy, The whole message was if you get cards on file and you get the year-round agreements plus addition to that you add all the side work you can make a lot more than 100k. Irregardless you’re right 100K or $200K at the end of the day you can make a really good living but you do have to hustle like no other 😉👊🏻
you can only make that much money if you live in a place where it’s warm and grass grown 12 months out of the year. most place the mowing season is at most 6-7 months, and sometime less then that.
The money is great but problem is i'd never be able to afford a house in my area. Mortgages are 800,000 average and you need like 25% down. Demand is also insane right now there are bidding wars. I'm near Toronto and need to move out of this area... traffic also sucks too
But Nick we can't mow year around here in Tennessee ,also 15 yards a day is not possible here because we have 150 days of heavy rain so that cuts the work days to 210 days . The best we can do here solo 120,000
Overhead doesn't change gross revenue. Gross revenue - Overhead= Gross profit Gross profit - taxes= Net Profit. How a solo operator sets up their own pay structure will affect what profit margins look like, but it isnt hard for solo operators to see 25-35% margins even after paying themselves.
I would think that of all the things you can do trying to advertise...a yard in the neighborhood that is lush, weedless, and pristine is by far the strongest. Right or wrong?
Right about that money to be made in landscaping. I do 10 yards by lunch solo. Nothing worth doing is easy if it was easy everybody would be a landscaper.
I'm not sure where you are located but roughly most cutting seasons only last about 8 months which is roughly 32 weeks. Why did you base that 15 yards a day number on 52 weeks which is the whole year? Just curious...thanks
I'm in Oklahoma and we only cut weekly lawns 25-30 times a year, even though it's ALWAYS raining March-August, and leaf season isn't even that long, AND there's no snow plowing
I'm in my third season solo. I was fired from a large crew that did only commercial and large estate homes once I started my own. Each year I have less clients (by choice), but the $ volume per client is much higher. I am working to build my company serving only commercial and large estate homes. My problem with taking on everyone who calls me, and aggressively trying to add any and every client I can (I no longer do this except for commercial) is cost and time spent on these properties. I often turn down clients and also removed all social media and now only have a single website to be less visible online. The first year I gained over 30 properties and didn't start until May of 2018 since that's when I was fired! I currently have 15 properties, 10 being commercial (6 are biweekly), the 5 residentials I cut are all biweekly. I can knock this all out solo in under 2 days a week, and then the week after I only cut my weekly accounts. I'm over $60k gross and only 1 contract pays the full year. Something that I think about often is what happens when the contracts are over and I don't get them again? It will be like starting over. But within the next 3 years I never know who's gonna call my phone wanting my services. That's the beauty of this business too. It feels like gambling every time you pickup the phone, not knowing how big the next client could be! Also, haven't seen your truck any this year Nick and I'm out quite a bit..
Got your sticker sending you my new one. Beautiful job as usual on the lawns. Hustle hard guys your work sells it self. Appreciate you sense nick. Ninja j.r.b out. #Godbless #loyaltyiskey #ninjanation #wabacha #nickstheman
Hey Nick yes it can done but brother you know what our Enemy is Age a young guy can do it but when your stepping on 50 like me and 33 years doing this your body is whore out there only so much your body can take I work 6 days a week all year long here in Miami and it is brutal here we hardly have a winter here. and I'm in good shape and I eat healthy but the Aches and pains don't get any better as we age take care brother be safe.
When I started my business 11yrs ago I started in sept/oct. Never too late my friend, and like you said perfect time to plan and get ready for 2021 👊🏻💯💪🏻🔥😉
@@sgninjas Well you gave me spirit man that means when I pick up this push mower Cub Cadet and Echo Weed smacker, I think imma go ahead and start marketing lol. Kinda have a price in mind but man I ran into your video and for real I tapped that subscribe button FAST! maybe I'll run into you man and you can show me how you do it.
Can someone tell me: I hear a lot of Landscapers on UA-cam say solo they can cut 10 -15+ yards a day/ 15-20min a yard. but how can you "cut- trim -blow a yard in 15-20 minutes? please tell me how?
He charges $50 for a granny front only I think Crazy Realistic lawn to cut trim blow front and back .25 ac. lot 30-35 minutes doing a good highly detailed job That’s worth $50 Gets hot as f in the summer beware
Where are you? Are you in California? Is your season all year round? I’m sure you’ve answered this another video so I apologize but this is my first time on your channel. I appreciate your straightforward style.
How do people in this industry keep up when it rains for an entire day? I’m thinking abt the industry and putting some time and thought into this and I need some positive feedback.
Number one, you don't schedule 15 yards running solow every day. Unless they are 15 minute yards. Daylight till dark 5 days a week is no life either. Oh but you get 2 days off on the weekend, not really. Maintenance days, and those are actually rain make up days..
Hey nick! Do you have any yards that are less then $50 per cut? All of my yards are under that. Do I need to be charging more? The biggest one I have takes me 1 hour.
Kyle Gray hey man that’s a bad mistake if you’re trying to make it in this business. $40 an hour is cheap. You should be shooting for at leaf $120-$200/hr minimum if you’re doing the work correctly. When I started I did the same mistake the issue is when you raise your prices you’ll lose a lot of the customers. Best to start off on a good price and raise accordingly depending on inflation.
Hey im a new subscriber and im planning on starting my own lawn care business. This video motivated me aswell. When you say 50 a yard are you referring to front yard only or both front and back? Im new to this so excuse my dumb question!
Every, everybody errs so maybe the customer just did not know what to say but for whatever reason and now she is asking you to come work for her again. God's word says forgive everyone lest you not be forgiven by the Lord. As far as going up on your price with her... I would not do it out of revenge because God's word says revenge is mine. You say you have a lot of business... ALL good things come from The Lord.
lovestoeat420 depends on your equipment. In my buisness my goal is 15 mins a Property solo with a high route density and a minimum price of $40that being said with the right equipment you can be super efficient, have a hand full of properties I average 7 minutes on, cut trimmed edged and blown off with 2 people it’s about 5. When I started my times were up and down with a 33” walk behind but with a larger unit 48-61” you can be in and out quick. They don’t pay you for your time they pay you for your knowledge.
It’s not about the mowing weeks it’s about locking your round payments and adding side work during the months your not mowing 😉👍🏻 hope that helps explain better Kevin.
Your video clearly States you can make this without any extra side work besides mowing! Please take the time and steer people in the right direction that are following you.
I’ve been lurking on your channel for years, one thing I can appreciate is how straight forward and honest you are to your viewers
Id be ok with 80k a year im a simple man. This motivated the hell outta me
Hey Nick be careful going solo you don’t wanna burn yourself out I know you know how to pace yourself I used to do it at least get one guy foot trimming if you get sick you’re screwed you still have to have time for Mama and baby Money is not everything just keep that in mind
I think you’ve been coming with the best grass cutting videos lately man. Props
Well thank you! 😉👊🏻
I've never seen so many hills and slopes in all my day. Thank God I'm in Florida. More power to you
Oklahoma is pretty flat (naturally), too, but a lot of my yards have ditches and slopes, which are all man made
Rain will mess the schedule up. If you don't want to work on the weekends plan on 3 to 4 days of work. You will need special project days too for mulch jobs, cleanups and such.

Some areas acquire year-round service like Florida for instance
Texas is also year around.
Yeah buddy let’s get that money ninjas!!!

Depends where you live. In pa we cut around 30 weeks a year. Winter months you can’t cut.
Was making 900$ a day before life situations came in
You can't cut grass 52 weeks a year unless you live at the equator. Michigan cutting season is 28 weeks, also you usually don't want to plan more than 4 days a week to plan for rain days

Kyle Gray hey man that’s a bad mistake if you’re trying to make it in this business. $40 an hour is cheap. You should be shooting for at leaf $120-$200/hr minimum if you’re doing the work correctly. When I started I did the same mistake the issue is when you raise your prices you’ll lose a lot of the customers. Best to start off on a good price and raise accordingly depending on inflation.
Yes but are you charging per cut each time or once a month per customer
There’s not 52 mowing weeks
Hey im a new subscriber and im planning on starting my own lawn care business. This video motivated me aswell. When you say 50 a yard are you referring to front yard only or both front and back? Im new to this so excuse my dumb question!
That’s mowing the entire property bud. Good luck
Curious question Did you start the business yet?
Are you including the taxes you pay on the number you are talking about making?
Every, everybody errs so maybe the customer just did not know what to say but for whatever reason and now she is asking you to come work for her again. God's word says forgive everyone lest you not be forgiven by the Lord. As far as going up on your price with her... I would not do it out of revenge because God's word says revenge is mine. You say you have a lot of business... ALL good things come from The Lord.
What about winter?
In the thumbnail I thought it was the undertaker
Your crazy 200k a year idk how much they charge by you but south Louisana 60 yards about 60k a year
Where do you cut 52 weeks out the year?
How do I set up my clients for year round service? Anyone has any ideas?
Why do you say freaky Friday like that
When you say 50 - 75 $$ a yard how long does it take you too complete said yard ? Plz lmk love your videos bro cheers ninja 💵🍺
lovestoeat420 depends on your equipment. In my buisness my goal is 15 mins a Property solo with a high route density and a minimum price of $40that being said with the right equipment you can be super efficient, have a hand full of properties I average 7 minutes on, cut trimmed edged and blown off with 2 people it’s about 5. When I started my times were up and down with a 33” walk behind but with a larger unit 48-61” you can be in and out quick. They don’t pay you for your time they pay you for your knowledge.
this 190k how many mowing weeks do you have in you nowing season based on this #
It’s not about the mowing weeks it’s about locking your round payments and adding side work during the months your not mowing 😉👍🏻 hope that helps explain better Kevin.
Your video clearly States you can make this without any extra side work besides mowing! Please take the time and steer people in the right direction that are following you.
