Mistakes are unavoidable in business, particularly when you're just starting out. But you must prevent these errors from becoming ingrained features of your company. This video highlights three mistakes to avoid when running a lawn care company.
First, eschew charging low prices. This means you should have a set minimum price.

While giving a discount isn't generally wrong, clients will mistake it for your charges. The word might go around the neighborhood about your low lawn care charges. Suffice it to say other clients might ask for discounts and offer lower prices, eating into your bottom line.
Another mistake you should avoid is serving different routes on the same day. As a lawn care company, you'll get calls from different clients to spread all over the regions you serve. While some might be less than an hour's drive apart, you will spend too much time commuting. You don't only waste your precious time, but the travel cost will also affect your profits. The whole idea is to consolidate the routes.
Lastly, spraying yards with weed control without a license will get you into trouble. For instance, some states require you to have a license to use round-up. Therefore, avoid using weed control chemicals or at least get a license for it. If you want to succeed in your lawn care venture, you should avoid common mistakes. To ensure you stay on course, learn from lawn maintenance mistakes made by new companies and adjust accordingly.
