Lawn Mowing Business Owner Tips: How to Get the Perfect Cut Every Time
Jan 19, 2023 5:31 am
Hi
I hope all is well and your business is growing.
Today I will be talking about the process of mowing a client's lawn and what we do to keep them coming back for more and referring us to friends and family.
It all starts with the cut...

How to Get the Perfect Cut Every Time.
Why is this important for my lawn-mowing business?
The success of your lawn mowing business depends on your delivering a perfect cut every time. To help you get started, we have a simple system that we follow that gives us great results.
The number one aim is to do an excellent job and be consistent.
Remember, a happy customer is a customer for life!
How often should I mow the lawns?
The answer to this question depends on your grass type and the season.
In the spring, summer and autumn, we try to have our customers on a fortnightly mow all the way through.
Some customers with thick, high-cut lawns will ask for a weekly cut at this time of year.
We also like to keep customers on a fortnightly mow in autumn to allow for mowing up the leaves.
We will accept 3 to 4 weekly mows in the winter as the grass stops growing and does not need as much maintenance.
Use the weed eater first.
Before you mow the lawn, make sure you trim all the edges first. When you edge with a weed eater, work opposite to the way the head spins. This means you will usually work anti-clockwise.
This will throw the grass clippings away from paths and windows back onto the grass where you can mow it up.
Make sure that your blades are sharp.
A dull mower blade will tear the grass rather than cut it, damaging the lawn.
Take time on a Saturday once a month to service your mower to keep it in good condition. Sharpen the blade while you are doing this.

Are you looking for lawn mowing leads in Hamilton?
We usually have three local lawn mowing companies that buy our excess leads from Gecko Lawns.
Currently, one is off due to an injury; one is on holiday, so we only have one company we are working with right now.
We can get anywhere up to ten calls daily, so we prefer to work with at least two local businesses.
Let me know if you are interested in getting local leads every day.

Again it is shaping up to be a busy month.
Our phone doesn't seem to stop ringing.
At least the weather's playing nice.
I was getting a bit tired of the rain.
I recently bought a Honda 217, which is truly a fair-weather mower.
On nice days it chews through the work in record time.
When it rains, the machine clogs up and is next to useless.
Fortunately, I also have a Testarossa, so that is my go-to mower on wet days.
The joys of running a lawn mowing business. 😊
Happy lawnmowing people
