A job like this can keep you close to home. Talk to you neighbors about doing
their yards. It is a good idea to have all the equipment
you will need to perform the services offered. Fortunately,
many home owners will already have a lawn mower you can
use. You can provide basic yard care such as mowing, weeding,
sweeping and watering. You should set aside an hour up to
entire afternoon depending on the size of the yard. If you
don't want to offer all yard services you can provide specialized
services such as pruning or fertilizing. If you do this,
it is very important for you to study up on the plants that
grow in your area and know exactly what type of fertilizer
and how much they require. For example, roses, azaleas,
rhododendrons, gardenias, fruit and citrus trees do better
when fed properly. Check with local professional landscapers
in your area to see what they are charging for yard care.
Since you are not a professional you should charge less
but a minimum of $20.00 per yard.
