Business Name?

[lawncare3]

I'm moving to the denver area in about a month and a1/2 and I'm wondering waht a good name would be for a LAWN MOWING ONLY business?

ANY suggestions or replys would be great.
THANK YOU,
Chris

BHB,
but, if I'm moving to denver?

There are a bazillion threads about this subject on lawnsite. Do a search.

Personally, I think anything with "mowing" in it is very limiting. I know you said that you plan on doing mowing only. But so did I 7 years ago when I started. And by about my 3rd or 4th year I was turning down so much freaking landscaping work that I just couldn't stand it. I was making other landscapers rich by referring them so many jobs. Finally, I just began to pick up a few small landscaping jobs here and there and it just grew from there. Now we do everything. And I NEVER thought I'd want to do anything more than mowing.

But now that I look back, I am glad I chose "Lewis Landscape Services" over "Lewis Mowing" because I'd have had to change my name about 3 years ago otherwise. Think long term.

I give 2 thumbs up for Mile High Mowing. To the point.

[JimLewis]

Yah, I am sure there are no other LCOs in Denver with THAT name! LOL.

How about MILE HIGH GRASS HALVERS ?

Limiting your business to just mowing would be detrimental. You'll start to get customers that want other services and you could be cutting your own throat by not providing them.

How about this for a name-
Better get a second job from October thru May,
Get used to mowing tiny little yards all of which have a wooden fence around them and a 36" gate, and
You'll be mow running a mow only business in a state that is soon outlaw the use of water on lawns. Seems there is 2 million residents and growing, but only 1 gallon of water in the mile high city.

If this reply sounds jaded it's because I'v been there. Lived there 7 years and loved the mile high city, but to run a mow only business there would be very tough. Most everyone there has a second source of income. Every name mentioned above is currently a name of a company in Denver. Last I checked, there were about 50 pages of lawn companies in the Denver Metro phone book.

what about Chris' lawncare & snow removal?

Definetly Mile High Mowing.....If its not already takin.

[bubble boy]

if you insist, and its not taken (get help on the check) mile high landscape maintenance

not mowing, as said above

personally i wouldn't use your first name-maybe last

[FrankenScagMachines]

Mile high something is good.... appropriate and also makes it sound like you have high quality work. Kinda makes me think of a saying a used car dealership has as their slogan "A good deal better" - kind of a double meaning, it can mean we take a good deal and make it better, or it can mean we are alot better. Same for "Mile High -----".
Good luck with the move, it's a hassle!
Also good luck in your new location,
Eric

Mowing Only???
Hmmmm Lets see??? I know some guys like that around here

Hey this one sounds like you

CUT-THROAT Lawn Care

[lawncare3]

Hey this one sounds like you: CUT-THROAT lawncare
how bout this logo CUT THROAT LAWNCARE
slogan: "we cleanup just like the mafia.":D :p

Although we've all had our ups and downs with client relations IMHO people who hire a landscape service are apt or willing to pay more for the same services because of the knowledge they feel you possess, than the mower man who now cuts grass instead of bagging groceries, etc.

Just my .02

BTW my fav Company name locally is "Twig & Turf". Very simple, very plain, yet covers many aspects of Professional Grounds Care.

Hahaha...that's really funny, but I like it. I am in the midst of changing my name as well and wanted "turf" somewhere in it, but I often thought that there would be somepeople that really didn't know what turf was. Any thoughts on that?

yes, I do think some morons wouldn't know what turf was. Btw my neighbor thought turf was hair.

[Tony Harrell]

That's the first thing that came to mind after spending some time there back in the late 70's at the air force base. It was a play on words but, I think the play and the rhyme would be an attention getter.

[lsylvain]

What ever you do don't use Quality Lawn Care. There has got to be a million of us.

[LAWNS AND MOWER]

And "A Cut Above".

Thank You everyone for the replys.

Mile High Grounds Maintenance - whatever you do, don't use a name that someone has in every city in the U.S.:cool:

Common Grounds Lawncare

[greenngrow]

Rocky Mountain High Lawn care....

[Runner]

If most everyone is opting for the "Mile High" thing, then I think Mile High Maintenance would work. But then again, the line from the song comes to mind... "Well I've never been to Denver..." :p

Hold ON!!! It just came to me. How about Mountain's Majesty Landscape (or Lawn Care).

[Tony Harrell]

Rocky mountain this, mile high that. I imagine everywhere you turn in Denver you see this. I'd use something else. Ever thought about coming up with a very catchy logo image and using that around a name?
