re: Anyone here do lawn/landscape for a living?
Posted by Dolphinepride on 7/29/26 at 7:17 am to TheDrunkenTigah
I think its leaving money on the table but many lawn company or business in general dont bother with internet stuff. I know of people who only grew via wom and got so big they dont need any marketing at all.

Sounds like you have gotten where I wanna be. What got you out or did you just find a better opportunity?

I had good luck with EDDM and door hangers. I paid a guy to hang them for me and I have zero internet or other marketing.
paid about 600 or so for EDDM (800 mail pieces) and got 3 clients and paid 175 for the guy to pass out my door hangers and picked up another 4 that way. irrc I paid 200 or 300 for 500 door hangers. I also have started to get approached while im working from other homeowners that I'm guessing have seen me over the years. ive picked up 4 new clients that way too.
I don't know my CAC off hand but I didn't make all of my money back until this past week. I only "work" 4 days a month though
The chuck with a truck offering 30 buck lawns is also not calling clients back or doing as good as a job as you are. The common complaints I hear are not keep a schedule and being hard to communicate with.
You still need to account for churn though and clients will let you go for whatever reason. It could be price or maybe they don't like the way you weed eat. It doesn't matter unless you keep getting the same complaints over and over.

I'm in the process of doing this its can be just as boring as the corporate grind best part is being outside in the sun which is also the worst part. The heat isn't bad as long as you have water and a way to cool off but it'll take time to get used to it.
I only work weekends and make 550 a day going from 7 am to roughly 5pm. I could probably raise prices and be at 700 or so. If I use a helper I'm done by 3 but I pay him 20 per hour.
High end mowers cost 15k or more depending on what size lawn you target. Equipment cost can add up very quick lots of guys who go all out and quit after a year or two.
Hardest part is finding clients or marketing got to pay to play.
At the end of the day its still manual labor so your trading your body for money. You can scale and hire employees and not be in the field but that's a whole other set of skills and headaches.
The work itself isnt hard but many people think they can work in the heat but cant. You'll have guys fall out after a hour or two.

re: Why are the poli board's leftards so upset over drug runners being blown up?
Posted by Dolphinepride on 12/1/25 at 8:45 pm to nealnan8
this is what no one seems to address a crime is committed and a death sentence is heavy handed. This isn't even likely to stop drug runners let alone cartel leaders from selling drugs over the border. Its the dumb arse war on drugs that never worked and will never work.

The crux of the issue but instead its seen as scoring points for "your side". Society morals are crumbling in the internet age.

I rented one of these machines for 50 bucks at a rent all place for 4 hours. It also wasn't sure if I could diy it but the machine was easy to use and I was able clear the clog. Its worth trying out but make sure you wear leather gloves and take your time the machine can cause injury if you are careless.

NOLA specific bill not all of la but if you've seen the slums people live in nola you would not be so against this bill. You also didn't seem to read the article cause they talk about how the city doesn't enforce it and its a "“It’s sort of like a public relations program, like a feel-good program,”

re: Where to sell appliances in BR?
Posted by Dolphinepride on 6/12/25 at 9:08 am to Boh
Very little value. A person buying used appliances does not care how "nice" something is (to an extent),
If i got to buy a used microwave I'm looking for what's cheap and works.

Not gonna lie I enjoy the process. Sometimes I don't want to rush getting done and instead take my time working alone on things. I do think ceramic coating is the way to go though.

Its usually very easy or a PITA to fix A/C stuff. You can rent most of the tools from AutoZone etc etc for free

you are at the very edge of a deep rabbit hole. Not all soaps are the same and not all products are the same. Best thing you can do is stay away from car washes with the brushes since they can scratch the paint. You can go crazy with ceramic coat or with a nice wax every few months. I prefer waxing myself but if you are busy ceramic last longer.

This only works with a laptop and software associated with it. You can do some really cool stuff with it if the car computer is cracked but for a beginner maybe something else.
