I wouldn't even get out of bed for $35 when I had my business. Too much in insurance, gas, wear and tear. I handpicked much larger lots that were a minimum of $50.
Got that right. I spent a summer working for my dad who started a lawn care business after he retired from his day job. Considering that $35 wont even fill up a truck or the mowers, trimmers, eaters we wouldnt even touch anything short of $50.

I up and quit at the end of one summer because I had a few Mexican crews moving into my turf. They would cut my price my 1/2 or 1/3 and get 8 guys all cutting it at once. Some people loved the price and quickness and others hated it but it was too late and I lost the contract. I saw what the business was becoming and didnt want to invest another year into it and closed shop.
