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.


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