How can I create a SMALL summer-time lawn cutting service?

I’m working at a golf course this summer and will get done at 1pm. I would love to be able to start a small lawn cutting service in my neighborhood in my free afternoons. Nothing big, I wouldn’t be buying mowers or anything, just using the customers. How should I get started and how can I gain customers legally (not putting flyers in mailboxes)?

I did this as a teenager so I hope my advice works. First, buy your own mower; it doesn’t have to be top of the line. Start with your neighbors, if there is an elderly couple they would be happy to have you help. Most of my other customers followed. Many people would stop while I was mowing a lawn and ask me how much I charged. DO A GREAT JOB. Most of the rest of my customers came by word of mouth. REPUTATION, REPUTATION, REPUTATION. SHOW UP WHEN PROMISED, pay attention to detail. Do extras not asked for. For instance I carried grass clippers to get around trees. For your regular customers continue to cut in the fall when requested. You’re back in school, you don’t have a lot of time, but by being loyal to those few you will guarantee a solid base next spring. Good Luck.
