Lawn mowing (and landscaping, irrigation, etc.) is my business for 40+ years. All of the above comments are useful. I would add that your trustworthy equipment that you brought with you from up north will fail within weeks. That stuff is designed to mow your own lawn for maybe an hour at a time... 2-4 hours a month. Pick up some extra work and start running 20 hours a week and you will need commercial equipment. Google 21" Toro Commercial lawn mower. It's $1900. 2022 Toro Heavy Duty 21" (53 cm) Self-Propelled (22295) TO222951581-004 | Four Brother's Outdoor Power

Not true! Doing your own maintenance keeps you in great shape. Sitting in a golf cart and strolling around a golf course is minimal exercise. Just look around at the people who care for their own yard and you will see that they are usually in great shape. Initially (the first ten years) the neighbors joke about the gardening nut (who gets dirty and very sweaty) but after the neighbors age they often can’t walk fast, lift heavy objects, have heart disease and are often overweight. They no longer say anything after that.

I called The Villages about this. They said rule applies to a business in your home working in home. Like repairing lawn mowers and golf carts. Not to a business you own doing outside the home. Thanks for the advice though but I’m on it. í ½í¸ƒ

He was afraid people would not like the cost because it would cost more pushing than riding. But he can definitely come by a do a quote for you. He is really good at it. Keeps straight lines and is very OCD. Right now he is doing north of 466 A. Message me if you’re interested.

Lawn mowing
6:45 is ridiculous. 8 am better.
We are in patio villas. We had a great guy but he raised everyone's price on this block his 3rd week in. He went from $45 to $60 and he determines when it will be cut. Many of us went somewhere else. Our yards are tiny, let's face it. So if you have 4 or 5 houses in a row it's obviously easier and faster. I think fairness in price, good work, and reliable and yes many of us would entertain it. Our guy leaving end of year. Good luck. |
