Sure they can. I helped the owner in my college years. Just the two of us. Get a couple commercial contracts and plenty of residential in one area and it is easy. He cleared 100k on a bad year and this was the early 2000s
People think these guys are out there cutting lawns for $15 and a pat on the back or something.

Seriously. One contract was 1500/month and another for 2700/month. Those two took up 1 whole day each week in the summer and 2 hours in the winter. Knock out 12-15 yards in one neighborhood for $40 a piece in one day and you are on your way to a nice year.
It was hard work and yes, on good days you work 7am-8pm 6 days a week. But for a college kid back then, making $12/hr cash, it was great

35 cuts a year $50/yard
Solo can knock out 10 a day max I'd say
88k. I just don't see BIG money in solo op
