Hi guys,
I'm planning to open a lawn mowing business as a weekend side hustle to make extra money and maybe quit my full time job if it goes well. It will cover mowing, hedge trimming, tree lopping, shrub removal, roof gutter, exterior window cleaning and yard cleaning in my area/surroundings. This came after my little brother suggest I do it because of my success in selling tree pots (tree guy here) from our backyard. All of it was his idea.
My dream is to maintain neighborhoods in close proximity like those big contractors do in established suburbs, and have Muslim clients.
In tight knitted East African, South Asian and Middle Eastern suburbs, a lot are a bit tad eyesore (overgrown and neglected yards). Is it because it's a foreign concept, time/cost consuming, they don't feel they have a duty to maintain a property or just laziness like my family members?
Do you all think it's worth a shot to spread the word (flyers on mail etc) and that they would be happy to pay $60 for fortnightly/monthly mowing over the growing season and $100+ for other service?
I have to be self conscious about this one since many are low income earners.
