What is your LLC? Tell us in the comments below⬇️ Setting up an LLC (Limited Liability Company) is a crucial step in formalizing your business if you’re in the United States. An LLC separates your personal assets from your business assets, providing protection in case of legal issues. It also helps establish your business as legitimate and professional, making it more attractive to clients and partners. Filing an LLC typically costs $100-$150 depending on your state, and it can be done easily through online services like Bizee. Once your LLC is established, it’s important to open a business bank account to keep your personal and business finances separate. This step not only protects your assets but also simplifies tax filing and improves professionalism.

🌱 Starting a lawn care business? It’s tempting to offer all the services under the sun, but here’s why less is more. 🤔 Offering too many services can be overwhelming, especially when starting on a budget. More services mean more equipment—and potentially more headaches. 😫 Before adding services, consider licensing requirements and insurance implications. It’s crucial to only offer what you’re confident in and passionate about. 🙌 Pro Tip: Partner with others for services you don’t enjoy or aren’t equipped for. This way, you stay focused and provide top-notch lawn care. 🏡✨ As your business grows, streamline your services for a more targeted marketing approach. Less really can be more! 🎯 See the full lesson here. Deciding what services to offer. What’s on your ideal service list? Let us know below! 👇

I used to run to the mower shop every time something broke. Didn’t matter if I was mid-job, if the mower died, I was off like a shot. What else can you do? That is… until I noticed something. The first thing the shop would do? Pull out the spark plug, chuck a new one in, and half the time my “broken” mower roared back to life. Forty bucks later, I was out the door. That happened over and over. Eventually, the penny dropped. Now? I keep spark plugs in the wagon. If a machine stops, I swap it on the spot. No detour. No waiting. 90% of the time, that solves the problem. That’s one shortcut. But the truth is, not all breakdowns are that simple. Sometimes it’s not the plug. Sometimes it’s a busted part that needs ordering. And if you’re running a full round? That delay can wreck your week. So how do you pick the right gear setup to avoid this mess? Easy — you don’t just need a good mower. You need two. Not new ones. I’m not saying go blow your savings. But don’t sell your old gear either. When you buy a new mower, keep your old one as a backup. Clean it before you store it. Turn the engine over occasionally. Because when your main mower’s in pieces on a bench, that beat-up old backup might be the only thing standing between you and a day of cancellations. I even buy the same make and model every time, so I’ve got a stash of parts ready to swap. In this business, you can’t plan when things will break. But you can plan what happens next. Keep your old machines. Stock a few parts. And carry a bloody spark plug. Trust me — it’ll save your ass one day.
