The second best time is now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This saying also applies to starting your own lawn care business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may think that the economy isn\u2019t that great right now, or aren\u2019t we going into recession?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I might wait for a better time.&nbsp; Honestly, if you keep waiting for that perfect moment, it will never happen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you work part-time or full-time at another job, nothing stops you from creating a side income. Then, if things go south with your job, you still have an independent source of income.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in times like this, that is what matters the most.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"starting-in-spring\">Starting in Spring.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite time to start a lawn mowing business is about a month before spring. It\u2019s like being on a surfboard and ready when a good wave comes in and riding the wave.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"getting-your-marketing-in-place-first\">Getting your marketing in place first<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason that I say a month before spring is because you want to get your ducks in a row with your marketing. If you start to market your lawn care business on the first day of spring, your ads will take a while to warm up. Expesselly is you are using something like Google Ads, which is a slow burner to start but can bring in great results in the long term.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t want your ads to kick in a month after spring has started. You have missed all the action. The ideal time to begin to market your business is a month before spring hits. Then you will catch that wave.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"services-you-can-offer-in-spring\"><strong>Services you can offer in spring.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring is when everything starts happening, and the lawns emerge from their winter dormancy and start growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homeowners are looking to breathe a bit of life into their lawns, and this makes spring a perfect time of year to start a business and offer services such as<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/lawnmowing101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/503-24351-20463.jpg\" alt=\"Lawnmower on a clients lawn\" class=\"wp-image-4780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lawnmowing101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/503-24351-20463.jpg 900w, https:\/\/lawnmowing101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/503-24351-20463-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lawnmowing101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/503-24351-20463-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lawn mowing: <\/strong>This is the peak time to sign new lawn mowing customers up. This is the best service to aim for when you start a lawn service because it equals regular income, which is far better for cash flow than one-off work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lawn fertilization: <\/strong>Feeding the lawn has some benefits; it will immediately put money in your pocket and kick-start the lawn&#8217;s growth. You also want to get every customer for lawn fertilization to sign up for a regular mow if you can.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aeration:&nbsp;<\/strong>This is a great money-maker if you have the tools. It is a high-profit service that a new business can offer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spring clean-up: <\/strong>One of the best things about this kind of work is that it fills some empty spots in your diary when you start your lawn business and are still building.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seeding or sodding:&nbsp;<\/strong>This is also an additional service that you can sell at that time to get those tired or bare patches fixed up in time for summer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"here-is-why-spring-is-a-great-time-to-build\">Here is why spring is a great time to build<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring has sprung, which means warmer weather and longer days are on the horizon. For many people, that also means it\u2019s time to start thinking about their lawn care. After a long winter of watching their yards go to seed, they\u2019re ready to hand over the reins to a professional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The grass starts growing; everybody wants their lawn mowed. By approaching quoting with a tow truck drive mentality, you can be the \u201cJonny on the spot.\u201d The smaller the business, the faster you can move. Take advantage of this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group popcorn-product-highlight-b-ctr is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns

But generally speaking, early spring is pretty reliable regarding weather. It\u2019s not too hot or cold, making it ideal for working outside on yards. So take advantage of it while you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The temperatures are warm but not too hot, and there is typically enough rain to keep the grass healthy without making it too wet to mow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"grass-grows-quickly\">Grass Grows Quickly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason that spring is an excellent time to start a lawn mowing business is that grass grows quickly at this time of year. Customers will need to have their lawns mowed more frequently, leading to more business for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"there-are-more-opportunities-for-marketing\">There are More Opportunities for Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to getting a head start on the competition, starting your lawn mowing business in spring also provides more marketing opportunities. This is because people are generally more receptive to marketing messages during this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More people are looking for lawn mowing businesses at this time of year, so the cost of landing a new customer is cheaper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"starting-in-the-summer\">Starting in the summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer is also a great time of year to start a lawn &amp; landscape business. You may have missed the spring rush but you haven&#8217;t missed the boat entirely. This is the maintenance and preservation part of the lawn care cycle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"services-you-can-offer-in-summer\"><strong>Services you can offer in summer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These services could include<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lawn mowing services:&nbsp;<\/strong>You want to cut the lawns regularly and preferably cut them a bit higher than usual.

Snow plowing or de-icing services are a great way to get work at this time of year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winterization Services:<\/strong> Things like irrigation systems or outdoor faucets could be treated to prevent them from freezing in cold temperatures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Holiday Lighting Installation and Removal:<\/strong> This is becoming more popular and affordable as new technology becomes available. Offering holiday lighting services for homes and businesses is an excellent income boost. Better still, at the end of the season, they pay you to take it down. You store it for the year and bring it out again the following year. You may even serve some of the same customers for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One good thing about starting in winter is that you will be building a solid business. Because it is the hardest time of year, it will make the rest of the sessions look like a cakewalk. A business started in spring when the going is easy can sometimes go downhill when times get tough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other thing that you could do if you wanted to wait until spring is spend the winter planning a spring launch. You could spend the time writing your business plan and getting your marketing materials ready. Then, as soon as spring comes, you could hit the road running with a full sign-written truck and a brand that stands out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/lawnmowing101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/948-10233-4545.jpg\" alt=\"A lawn mower on the job\" class=\"wp-image-4785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lawnmowing101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/948-10233-4545.jpg 900w, https:\/\/lawnmowing101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/948-10233-4545-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lawnmowing101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/948-10233-4545-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion-when-is-the-best-time-to-start-a-lawn-care-business\">Conclusion: When is the best time to start a lawn care business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now is the perfect time to start your lawn-mowing business!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although spring is my favorite season, any time of the year is good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can even start in midwinter; the bonus is that spring will feel like a breeze after surviving the winter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every season has its advantages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t wait \u2013 the sooner you get started, the better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re considering starting a lawn mowing business, there\u2019s no time like now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently asked questions.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lawnmowing101.com\/how-to-start-a-lawn-care-business-a-complete-guide\/\">How do you start a lawn care business?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lawnmowing101.com\/lawn-care-business-income\/\">How much do I pay myself?&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lawnmowing101.com\/21-great-ways-to-market-your-lawn-care-business\/\">How do I market my lawn care business<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lawnmowing101.com\/how-to-start-a-lawn-care-business-with-no-money\/\">Can you start a lawn care business with no money?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/How-do-I-make-money-off-season-winter-in-a-lawn-care-business\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/How-do-I-make-money-off-season-winter-in-a-lawn-care-business\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How do I make money off-season (winter) in a lawn care business?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When is the best time to start a lawn care business?
