Lawn care career?

You might find this website interesting:

Not for a living, but I take care of two neighbor's lawns at $200 a month each on a one year contract. That includes fertilizer, liming (if needed), weed treatments, overseeding, trimming, mulching, removing leaves, mowing and sweeping. I bought a $500 blower last year and that reduced the workload. The nice thing is that I don't need transportation. I keep turning down more requests, so there is a definite need for this service. Sometimes I will cut down a tree, with no charge as long as I can keep the wood (I build furniture). I enjoy doing lawn care and constantly get compliments.

Thanks Jeff. I will check out that site. Regards, Bob.

I have a next-door neighbor who does this, and seems to make a pretty good living. I think he works for one of those big lawn-chemical companies.

How big are the lawns and how long does it take you to mow each? Do you use noisy or quiet machines?
