Just curious, what's the largest number of yards you do at one stop (dropping the gate 1 time)? Mine is 9 accounts out of total of 60.

Two stops each w/ 8 accounts. The less you drop your gates, the higher your profit margin. The key is to not give discounts for your grouped accounts. Charge each individually at your normal rates. This way when you begin to get more accounts in the neighborhood and the neighbors compare $$, you won't look like a jackazz.

Been mowin' in this neighborhood for years. Can't get another customer here for anything! In fact I'm loosing accounts here. Had another one across the lake, but she died. I had to load up and go over there anyway, so it wouldn't count in your poll.:(

I have one stop where I service 13 accounts on the same block. I recently lost 2 to a low-baller, however the lawns look terrible and I will probably be getting both back (at a higher price) very soon.

I have a small community where I do 5 Residentials and the city. It takes 6 hrs. on Thurs. and 8 hrs. on Friday. I only drop the gate twice, once Thurs. and once Fri. When I first started there I had 8 residential but 2 moved and the others son moved home after college. Here is a pic. of a small portion of one of the lawns.

I have one allotment where I do 5 soon to be nine and what the residents call the common grounds. Takes about 4 hrs. to do all with me flying solo.

One stop where I do four, another stop where I do five. The rest are all one at a time.

We have a stop with 8 but don't do them all at the same time anymore. We also have in about a mile or two radius we have about 22 but drop the gate 4 times.

15 in one stop at a large private family campground. We can knock them out in about 6hrs with a two man crew.

This is looking out of my driveway. At the end of Prairie Rd.
Asheville sure is pretty. Wish I were there!
Ssouth;
You have beautiful lawns, they look absolutely exotic to me with all that lush foilage.
BTW I wish I had more than 2 lawns together so I'd have something relevant to say on this thread.:blush:
