Illegal lawn services?

[Lawn-Scapes]

I am reading a lot of threads with comments about legal and illegal...

I'm not talking about applicators..

What makes a lawn service illegal? Is it being without a license to cut grass? Does your state require you to have a license? When I was down in Florida they required you to have a license but it was only $25... Here in this part of Maryland it's not required.. How much is a license in your part of the country?

Or our we talking immigrants?

if a person is in business and not claiming income and not paying income tax it is illegal

[1MajorTom]

I think those comments made about being legal or illegal were directed towards if LCO's were paying their taxes or were they "under the table".
I could be wrong, but that's what I took it as.

Oh yeah... I forgot about that

We are required to have a business license,$20,I pay taxes,and maintaim 1 mil insurance,there are plenty of guys cutting with no insurance,not in business,not paying taxes,or claiming any of the income they make.They pocket the money,and usually have equipment that is on its last legs,and cut for 25-35 an acre,when going rates are 50-65 dependign in conditions.

Nobody here takes cash!! What are you talking about???:blush:

By the way tom, I think I saw you in Westminster the other day. Do you have a red Dodge with a magnetic banner on your doors? I saw it as you were turning off Main street onto 97 North.

[Lawn-Scapes]

Yes Scott.. That's me.

Have any accounts you wanna unload?

[PrimeGreen Lawn]

Unload accounts? Hmmm, if you asked me 4 months ago I would have said yes! However, I bought another truck-trailer-mower combo for another crew to handle all the accounts in Mt. Airy which leaves me time to get every thing else complete. Still have that 97 2500 Dodge, but also have now a 2000 F350 Powerstroke Diesel, another 24' enclosed trailer, and 2 additional Lazers (4 total) for next season. BTW, how far are you willing to travel? I have some in Glen Bernie I dont like anymore. It takes 3 of us about 3 hours to mow this property. Pays $575 per cut every 7-10 days during the season. We usually have 4 guys on it and finish in a couple hours. I know you're a 1-man operation and it may take you a god part of the day, but hey....it's good money.

[stslawncare]

i believe it also depends on amount of money and age.

PrimeGreen,

Thats over an hour drive for me, but for the money it sure seems worth it. Could make that a whole day for a two man crew. Let me know if you are still interested in getting rid of it. BTW, is it a commercial or residential. That would be a huge residential. E-mail me if you like.
