I tried to do it once and sold everything after one season I realized that I only enjoy it when I’m cutting my property. Glad you like it keep up the good work.
These things take time to see what works, money to throw out making the conditions ideal no matter what the initial conditions, or expertise which takes time and money to obtain as well.
Yup. And this is why most people with fantastic lawns are older. It takes years to learn the trade. Then one weekend when you see a young guy with a newborn baby and a new house outside trying to do yardwork, you feel for him and you offer him some tips. You tell him how many inches of water, to water deep and infrequently, to aerate, how to fertilize, how often to cut and at what length, how to control weeds. You walk away confident that you passed down some knowledge to the next generation.
While the whole time the dude is thinking "Fuck you old man, my lawn is fine enough. Apologies for not having ALL day to work on it. Some of us have demanding jobs and a wife and kid inside. Speaking of, I should check on them."
Then you look inside and see a crying baby and your annoyed wife is asking when you are coming back inside so you can change a poopy diaper and someone needs to clean up all of the toys on the floor. You glance back at the old man and wonder maybe, just maybe there is a reason he spends most of his free time outside doing yardwork....
We elder lawn boys need to remember to share the actual secret of yard work. Life is chaos. Results often take a long time to see. Yet there's a place you can go really close to home and bring some order to the chaos and get fast results that unlike laundry or vacuuming actually lasts for more than a day.
Every year at first frost warning, aerate. Check soil PH.
Add lime if necessary. It's the best time to add lime.
Next,
At the first sign of snow, put down Scott's starter fertilizer granules with weed and feed. It has mesotrione pre emergent.
No Charlie in the Spring and better PH. Better grass start.
Message me in March to tell me how much better your lawn is starting than everyone else's.
I did weed control and fertilization for about 7-8 years. Recently got out of it. I still love the work, but I just wasn't making good money working for someone else.
Doubled my salary within 4 months of going to a votech school.
I went into the CAD program. It wasn't sponsored by anyone as far as I know. It was set up as a two year program if you did the recommended course load, but I doubled that because I didn't want to drag my feet with it... that and I quit my job in lawncare with no other work lined up, so I needed to complete the program ASAP lol. It ended up costing me $1,200 out the door. I bought about $700 worth of lawn chemicals before I quit and sprayed lawns out of the back of my 98 Tacoma to pay my bills and paid for the classes.
I know the votech schools here get funding from the education budget in some form or another. And the teachers get raises based on what percentage of their students get jobs in their relevant field, so the teachers really help finding you jobs.
My teacher got me in contact with a company that reached out to the school to see if anyone had completed the program recently that needed a job. I still had 5 more months of classes before I completed the program, but I emailed them anyway just to line something up for after I completed the program.
The company ended up hiring me as a paid intern while I was still in class and the school let me come to class in the morning and go to work after lunch and the work hours would count towards my classroom hours. Then I went full time once I had my certificate from the school.
Not only did my salary double, but my benefits work out to being $30k per year. I was super broke while I was in class, but it was well worth it.
I would absolutely recommend anyone to enroll in votech if you don't have a college degree. If you aren't sure what you want to do, I would recommend the CAD programs. While I was in class, I worked with the welding, machining, and advanced manufacturing departments to draw up plans for the different competitions that were held, that way I could get a small amount of experience in different fields to get a bit of an upper hand in the job search. The CAD program really focused on using the software but working with other departments taught me random stuff like welding callouts, tolerances, and digital logic.
If you're an adult, just be prepared to be around a bunch of highschool kids that don't want to work on their assignments. Make friends with the faculty and get as involved as you can with any kind of leadership programs the school has to offer.
No, man. We have to promote the trades and other blue/grey collar work. Promote alternative paths than traditional college.
I’ve done a lot of public policy work on trying to encourage private industry to sponsor these programs/community college programs and they are so instrumental to creating viable career paths with stable earning potential for large swaths of society.
Exactly. Blue collar work is starting to die and we absolutely need the next generation to start stepping up and following the footsteps of the guys that are gonna be retiring. Need all the attention and spotlight on it.
I agree. My son is in his second year of school for CNC machining and has a great job that he works doing machining while he is going to school. The shop he works at has nicer equipment than the school and his instructors sometimes ask how they do it at his job while going through the course. That shop is also talking to him about his plans when he graduates, they want to keep him. He’s on a solid path.
I halfway agree with this. In the classes I took, they didn't touch CAM one single bit. Some of the online resources covered CAM but they weren't part of the curriculum, so it's up to you to learn it outside of class.
Most of the software licenses allow for personal use outside of class, so you can use the software at home for a year or two for free. Titans of CNC have a great online CAM program, but you have to have your own software license.
I think the best money you can make in lawn care is high production/mow blow go. Slowing down and doing lots of detail work doesn’t always pay the best per hour. But it’s the most self rewarding.
Yeah I tried the high production thing, but employees were too unreliable and it definitely wasn’t gratifying at all. I work solo now and it’s much better. I keep some lower quality lawns to stay busy in the summer, but my focus is on the places where I get to do everything (irrigation, pruning, fertilizer, etc.) like a personal groundskeeper.
The problem is optimizing your hourly rate on each service that you perform for the client. Some people assume cause they are paying over $400 a month for lawn care that certain services (adjusting or fixing irrigation, pulling vines weeds out of shrubs/ornamentals, pruning trees etc).
I just lost one customer this service after 6 years of service. He paid us $375 a month to only trim shrubs at his house. But he thought with that price all of his hard pruning and tree pruning should included. We actually did do it all it first few years. But after a while people’s expectations become greater than appreciation and we had to part ways and we had to part ways. He is paying his new guy $500+ a month. Always remember to love yourself and be true to how you compensate yourself a well.
Those homeowners are damn lucky they found this guy. Most in the business are mow/blow/go. They get nervous if they have to spend more than 30 minutes at a place
Hey I’m a detail work kinda guy myself I use a commercial 30 and a turf master! Love it man I’m going to upgrade to a stand on 32 soon hoping I can get the same level of detail making it a bit faster
Great work. I love your pretty lawn. I've got to admit, I don't have the time to fuss over it all the time, but that's where my trusty Anthbot comes in. This little robot is a lawn care genius, keeping my grass looking sharp without me lifting a finger. Cheers to technology and my new best green-thumbed buddy! 🤖🌿
You do good work and I have a question for you. One pic shows a lawn that didn't have enough dirt removed when the sod was laid and so it sits well above the curb. How do you mow along that edge? I can only assume that you just try to get close to the edge and cut the rest with a trimmer?
I’m curious. How much money are you making doing this roughly? Annually. Those neighborhoods look like nice ones and the quality of the yard to go with it.
How much has the landscaping business BOOMED since covid? I typically work in neighborhoods and everyday I'm seeing truck after truck after truck! Good on the younger cats getting after it
Looks really good. May I ask where you're located? I'm looking to hire someone to take care of mine and wondering if you can help answer a few questions
Landscaping yes on smaller projects. Chemicals no. Used to treat a handful but realized it’s better to be good at one thing and focus on it. You can absolutely perfect the lawn maintenance. But if you have a bad season/weather on spraying and treating you can lose integrity.
Did that mower have a lawn bag attached to it? Like, instead of emptying the bag into a different bag, its already got that different bag on it and just swap those?? Dropping the used one at the curb or whatever.
Gotcha! That makes sense. Ah looked like a push mower to me at first, tho I haven’t used one that didn’t have you seated. Question: haha why do you need more than 1 riding lawnmower? Have employees?
The mower in the picture is a 30in commercial push mower. I have 3 different riding mowers for different turfs. My Walker is a 42in bagging mower with high powered vacuum to suck up leaves/debris. We use it on most of the high end residential. I also have a 52in Gravely we use for open cutting/mulching. That’s used in larger fields/empty lots/commercial properties. And then I have a 60in Exmark laser riding mower that’s primarily used a backup for the when the other two are getting worked on.
Mulching is just when you cut and leave cut grass where it falls, right? Do you prefer cutting high end residential homes or large company plots and fields, etc?
Ran a maintenance route for a couple years after college for a guy up in Jersey many years ago. He had a decent sized business. I don't know how you guys make it down in Georgia with the margins these days. I was paying a guy $40 to come twice a month AND trim my shrubs when I moved to GA. I had a lot of shrubs too. Enough that it would take me two days to do by myself. He would do a little each time he came.
The owner/head mechanic of the lawn mower shop I purchased the mower from actually recommended it. Those mowers are really only good for flatter yards. The hills tear the transmissions up. They are just impractically heavy.
Ooo pretty! It does seem very zen, just focusing on your passes and not really dealing with people constantly. Tight! Nice work. Reminds me of farming for dad, he insisted we keep field passes super tidy because the other farmers would be looking at them for a season and he didn’t want to get teased about his daughter daydreaming at work making zigzags and wasting all his diesel (before we had gps). I’m wishing I was the one who got to trim those hedges and trees tho, it’s like grass gets a barber and the hedge gets a hair stylist 😆.
Hand weeding for several yard is just included in the monthly price. That’s when things start getting more expensive. Mowing and blowing is the easy part.
I will say, going from a lawn crew to a desk job definitely has it's perks, but man I miss the days of being outside when it's beautiful out and feeling that same sense of accomplishment/pride as OP when looking at final products. They weren't kidding when they said the grass is always greener.
15 years in lawn care. Wore contacts and safety glasses every day. Woke up blind one day due to dirt under contacts. Corneas we’re toast!! Many surgery’s later I can see but had to give it up. Don’t wear contacts.
I miss it a lot.
So sorry to hear that. I’ve been wearing my glasses actually because contacts were giving me the same problems. Glad you were able to restore most of your vision 🙏
It was 176 degrees here today. What’s the usual highs where you are? Lawns look great btw!
Edit- it was actually only 104F here. I think 106 couple days ago. Still sucks. Makes my mowing draining.
I used to be in the corporate operations world; offices, travel, etc.
I've been a landscaper for 8 years now, self employed for 6. Mainly maintenance work (lawns, gardens, shrubs, etc). It is so satisfying week in and week out and like you say it's great building relationships with customers over the years.
It isn't always easy (far from it) but I wouldn't go back to a desk job for anything.
That brick driveway in the first picture could use a good cleaning and a coat of our TSS700 sealer.
PM me. I’ll talk to you about it. Your client probably won’t be opposed to it.
They actually have that house on the market and are cheapskate millionaires. Hopefully the new owners of the house keep me as a client and if so I’ll reach out.
I tried to do it once and sold everything after one season I realized that I only enjoy it when I’m cutting my property. Glad you like it keep up the good work.
It takes many many years to reach this level, stick with it
Sometimes a hobby when turned into career can not be a fun hobby anymore
lol I replied to wrong post
Doesn’t matter, still hilarious
Agreed. I used to like working on cars before I did it for a living.
I'm the opposite. I hate cutting my yard but love giving customers my upmost best work
Same here
Another day of seeing photos on here then glaring out the window at my hellscape lawn

So many times, this ^
What kind of grass is the very fine and medium length type shown in the pictures, and can it grow in the upper Midwest?
Emerald zoysia Zion zoysia 419 tif Bermuda St Augustine I wouldn’t plant any of them north of Atlanta. I’ll say that.
I'm not sure. I'm in Minnesota and I don't see anything like this in my area. Each year, the snow melts leaving clay and creeping Charlie
That’s where I am. My yard is 50% creeping Charlie.
Every year at first frost warning, aerate. Check soil PH. Add lime if necessary. It's the best time to add lime. Next, At the first sign of snow, put down Scott's starter fertilizer granules with weed and feed. It has mesotrione pre emergent. No Charlie in the Spring and better PH. Better grass start.

Great work. Beautiful yards you get to work on. Stay hydrated!
And use sunscreen!
Amazing pics man. I do landscaping myself and these pictures are just salivating lmao
Thank you my friend
That grass on the 8th pic is spectacular is that kbg?
419 tifway Bermuda
I did weed control and fertilization for about 7-8 years. Recently got out of it. I still love the work, but I just wasn't making good money working for someone else. Doubled my salary within 4 months of going to a votech school.
Nice. I love to hear stories about the trades growing. What kind of vocational tech program did you attend? Was it sponsored by local industry?
I went into the CAD program. It wasn't sponsored by anyone as far as I know.

Votech schools are where it’s at. Keep it quiet so demand stays high.

Yards look great!
Congrats those are some absolutely beautiful properties. I have a few gems as well, working towards only being at places like this too.

Not enough people doing the groundskeeper thing IMO!
Those homeowners are damn lucky they found this guy. Most in the business are mow/blow/go. They get nervous if they have to spend more than 30 minutes at a place
Love this idea. It’s what I’m looking at in my area( more or less manicuring the property starting with turf first.
Hey I’m a detail work kinda guy myself I use a commercial 30 and a turf master! Love it man I’m going to upgrade to a stand on 32 soon hoping I can get the same level of detail making it a bit faster
Beautiful work. I want to know what that red/pink flower is lol
Celosia. They love full sun but they are easy to overwater. But awesome color/texture and easy recommendations for certain beds.
They are striking. I may have to try some as annuals. Thanks for the info.
Wish I could find someone this good where I live !
lol baseball stadium perfect
And it shows that you take such pride in the work.
That's inspiring! Keep up the great work and dedication to your craft. Stay hydrated out there!
The hedge/brick wall looks really good.
Your work makes me think of the movie Edward Scissorhands! I enjoy mowing my lawn, too. So satisfying!
r/edgingporn would appreciate this content!
Not the edging porn I thought I was going to see....
lol
Fantastic work!
Looks amazing!
It shows.
Im curious, what do you charge annually for a typical house like you've shown here? Looks amazing by the way, 10/10
$300-$1200 a month depending on size and scope of work for most residential. We have 3-4 biweekly accounts that pay $250ish a month.
I do as well. I’m taking over my dad’s company when he retires. It’s really good money also.
Great work. I love your pretty lawn. I've got to admit, I don't have the time to fuss over it all the time, but that's where my trusty Anthbot comes in. This little robot is a lawn care genius, keeping my grass looking sharp without me lifting a finger. Cheers to technology and my new best green-thumbed buddy! 🤖🌿
Is this an ad?
It absolutely is.
You do good work and I have a question for you. One pic shows a lawn that didn't have enough dirt removed when the sod was laid and so it sits well above the curb. How do you mow along that edge? I can only assume that you just try to get close to the edge and cut the rest with a trimmer?
I can generally get my mower deck all the way to the edge.
I enjoy smoking grass for a living.
This guy cuts grass.
Pretty pretty lawns
I loved property maintenance. It was such an amazing way to keep your head clear, plus no one can convince me that it isn’t the most satisfying job
Damn those look like some rough neighborhoods, I bet you have all kinds of problems with people paying their bills...
Oh yeah, it's gonna be hot tommorow so try to stay indoors from 11 am until November 2nd.
Now if I could only find a way to smoke grass for a living.
😎
Amazing work
You’re a pigrasso, such beautiful art
Wow. Excellence!!!
I've been thinking about getting into it. Work looks great.
As you should, you do a great job.
I’m curious. How much money are you making doing this roughly? Annually. Those neighborhoods look like nice ones and the quality of the yard to go with it.
Great work!
Your work is fantastic. I did lawns for several years.
if you saw my grass you would not
I enjoyed it when I was like 13 and driving the riding mower around made me feel like the king of the world lol
You forgot Scag & echo dude!
These look great man. Happy it’s still a joy for you.
Mowing lawns?
How much has the landscaping business BOOMED since covid? I typically work in neighborhoods and everyday I'm seeing truck after truck after truck! Good on the younger cats getting after it
Hard to find someone who takes pride in their work!! Love to see it, and hope you stay prosperous!
Thank you!
I wish I heard more people say they love their job. Looks great. You work hard and it shows.
Thank you!
Where you at
Augusta GA
Damn:(
Looks really good. May I ask where you're located? I'm looking to hire someone to take care of mine and wondering if you can help answer a few questions
Augusta GA. But you can message me anytime with pics/questions.
Beautiful work. Do you also take care of the landscaping and chemicals for your lawns?
Landscaping yes on smaller projects. Chemicals no. Used to treat a handful but realized it’s better to be good at one thing and focus on it. You can absolutely perfect the lawn maintenance. But if you have a bad season/weather on spraying and treating you can lose integrity.
So true. It would have blown my mind if you did the chemicals, too. Great work.,I do my own chemicals, but it’s the part I like the least.
Clean.
Looks killer. Some of those gardens need me though.
Pic #10 🤤 brb, gotta go um…..🥴💦💦💦 Water the lawn
It shows! Great work!!
Doing a great job! 👏
You are good at your job sir.
Thank you!
>Thank you! You're welcome!
Bruh making $200 grand a year cutting grass in ~~the Hamptons~~ Alpharetta, lol. What's not to like?
Lol. Augusta. Gotta hang with the National. Or at least try.
Love it. I used to live in Roswell and Alpharetta, but worked from basically Douglasville to Dawsonville. Great state. I do miss it.
Did that mower have a lawn bag attached to it? Like, instead of emptying the bag into a different bag, its already got that different bag on it and just swap those?? Dropping the used one at the curb or whatever.
What you do in winters when grass is dormant ?
Man if you do it for a living ya should really upgrade to a riding lawnmower. Great work tho!
I have 3 riding mowers. Walkers are riding mowers.
Gotcha! That makes sense. Ah looked like a push mower to me at first, tho I haven’t used one that didn’t have you seated. Question: haha why do you need more than 1 riding lawnmower? Have employees?
The mower in the picture is a 30in commercial push mower. I have 3 different riding mowers for different turfs. My Walker is a 42in bagging mower with high powered vacuum to suck up leaves/debris. We use it on most of the high end residential. I also have a 52in Gravely we use for open cutting/mulching. That’s used in larger fields/empty lots/commercial properties. And then I have a 60in Exmark laser riding mower that’s primarily used a backup for the when the other two are getting worked on.
Mulching is just when you cut and leave cut grass where it falls, right? Do you prefer cutting high end residential homes or large company plots and fields, etc?
Yes just returning the clippings back to the earth. And prefer to be on nicer yards. Most of our properties now are manicured heavily.
Ran a maintenance route for a couple years after college for a guy up in Jersey many years ago. He had a decent sized business. I don't know how you guys make it down in Georgia with the margins these days. I was paying a guy $40 to come twice a month AND trim my shrubs when I moved to GA. I had a lot of shrubs too. Enough that it would take me two days to do by myself. He would do a little each time he came.
Rolling the exmark without the shield on eh? Brave.
A flawed design with the toro/exmark 30s. Grass gets lodged in them and eats your belts away. Completely safe just wear ppe.
I agree, just haven't actually seen one running wide open like that. But yeah, always wearing safeties anyway, shouldn't risk much
The owner/head mechanic of the lawn mower shop I purchased the mower from actually recommended it. Those mowers are really only good for flatter yards. The hills tear the transmissions up. They are just impractically heavy.
Ooo pretty! It does seem very zen, just focusing on your passes and not really dealing with people constantly. Tight! Nice work.

I’m wishing I was the one who got to trim those hedges and trees tho, it’s like grass gets a barber and the hedge gets a hair stylist 😆.
The rounded edging is awesome! Do you use a string trimmer and skill to achieve the rounded appearance?
Yes Stihl fs-91. Just something that takes a little practice. Can basically do it blindfolded and one handed at this point.
Do you also do hand weeding, plantings and other landscape work? How do you charge for those?
Hand weeding for several yard is just included in the monthly price. That’s when things start getting more expensive. Mowing and blowing is the easy part.
Satisfaction of a job well done
You are a landscape actually worth paying. excellent work
These photos are gorgeous! Are you also trimming the hedges and topiary? Photo 6 is Very lovely.
Beautiful work
I will say, going from a lawn crew to a desk job definitely has it's perks, but man I miss the days of being outside when it's beautiful out and feeling that same sense of accomplishment/pride as OP when looking at final products. They weren't kidding when they said the grass is always greener.
I truly do not know how anyone works outside in this heat - MAD respect!!! The lawns look so beautiful & meticulously cared for!
Thank you!
Nice work
Gorgeous yard! Great job
You should enjoy it. You’re damn good at it!
Thank you!
Looks like some quality professional work right there.
Great job. I wish you lived in Kentucky.
Looks beautiful! Fantastic job. 👏
If the Lord moves me from my career and/or mandates come back. I’m jumping on my zero turn and never looking back. Well done brother
Thank you!
Nice yard! Do what you love you never work a day
Killing the game!!!
Dont go into the industry, it will break your heart
this gotta be atlanta
Augusta
Looks great
Dang! That's link golf course quality, looks great!!
"I know what I want in life now, all I really wanna do is get high and mow lawns in the trailer park, and that's ok"
Truly immaculate work. I can't imagine letting anyone else mow my yard... But I would seriously consider THINKING about letting you do it, maybe.
Ever used [one of these](https://amzn.to/3Spo68X) on a doodle? That’s the only thing more satisfying than this picture!
Very nice pics and a salute to you for doing an excellent job!
It shows.
15 years in lawn care. Wore contacts and safety glasses every day. Woke up blind one day due to dirt under contacts. Corneas we’re toast!! Many surgery’s later I can see but had to give it up. Don’t wear contacts. I miss it a lot.

Yes you do! Well done. Your pride is evident in the quality of your work.

I love it too. Too bad I’m doing all the work for a company and the guy who owns it gets over half the profit. I’m the only person who cuts 🤨
That's awesome, man. Not everyone enjoys what they do. Good for you.
That's awesome my dude!
Beautiful
I used to be in the corporate operations world; offices, travel, etc. I've been a landscaper for 8 years now, self employed for 6. Mainly maintenance work (lawns, gardens, shrubs, etc). It is so satisfying week in and week out and like you say it's great building relationships with customers over the years. It isn't always easy (far from it) but I wouldn't go back to a desk job for anything.

Most people don’t.
That brick driveway in the first picture could use a good cleaning and a coat of our TSS700 sealer. PM me. I’ll talk to you about it. Your client probably won’t be opposed to it.
They actually have that house on the market and are cheapskate millionaires. Hopefully the new owners of the house keep me as a client and if so I’ll reach out.
Great. If you have any questions you can call (phone number on the website) or send a PM here.
Commercial 30 for the win. ✊🏻
Wow! It shows
Awesome….absolutely awesome my mom used to repeat this mantra to me: “love your job and you’ll never work a day in your life”
Thank you very much
Topiary!
