I'm an hour east of KC and thinking of starting doing lawn care in your area. Is there room for a quality company to come in?

[allseasonsllc]

Company about 20 mins north of KC. Work KC metro area and outside metro also into KS. Been in business 6 yrs now and growing every year.

[Lombardi]

Hazell, I thought you were moving to KC last season. What happened?

[HazellLawnCare]

I'm still considering it. It would be quite a move for me. What I need to do is try and line some work up there. My quality and name with provide me with more work.

[allseasonsllc]

has anyone heard about the new trailer law requiring 5' side rails and tarps on all trailers?

[bottlefed89]

Haven't heard, but have to go to the DOT building sometime this week. I'll ask.

[allseasonsllc]

call me and let me know if this is true. I heard it from a contractor that has a friend with DOT and he told him that. Said its actively a law but not enforced as of yet.

[timinkc]

rockstate...just fert and doing bids so far no mowing yet...man you really do some traveling. How much time do you spend in the truck between jobs?

[timinkc]

just went to talk to one of my bigger commercial accounts, and he wants me to start mowing next week!!!!...anybody mowing yet?

[Andrews Lawn]

allseasonsllc,
Have you got someone already to sub contract those Pizza Hut's? If not I might be interested in doing those for you. We are a full service company out of Overland Park. Just let me know, we work everywhere in the KC metro area. Thanks

Paul

[bottlefed89]

Tim, I also have a guy that wants me to mow next week. I hope my blades are here by then.

Andrews, I see you have both a wright and a Dane, what are your thoughts on the differences?? Who'd you buy the wright from??

Anyone going to the home/lawn/garden show at bartle hall this weekend??

[allseasonsllc]

I'll be there. Last year I bought 2 walk behind Gravely mowers there. Hope I don't spend any money there this year LOL

[bottlefed89]

Allseasons, when are you planning on going?? I'd like to talk to you/meet you sometime. Sounds like that may be a good place. Do they normally make decent deals there?? Last one I went to wasn't as big as this one at Bartle, but no one was really making any better deals then the dealers were giving at any other time. I need a new blower or 2 and was wondering if I should bring some cash.

[allseasonsllc]

I would take cash or checks or credit cards

I did last year and bought a brand new Gravely 48" Belt for $2000.00 It was a demo with 2 hours on it.

Retail on it was $2999 so YEA GOOD DEAL

if you talk and try to make them drop the price most of the time they will just bargain with them like a car salesman. I left the gravely booth and went over to the exmark and started talking to that guy. The gravely rep came over and ask to talk to me for a second and sold me the mower......

[bottlefed89]

So, was there quite a few people selling blowers/trimmers and such?? Seems like everyone had their mowers at the last one I went to, but I didn't really pay attention to much else. Also, the sign I saw said home, flower, lawn/garden show(or something to that effect), will there be a lot of lawn care people there?? When's everyone going??
thanks

[allseasonsllc]

I'll more than likely go Sunday afternoon myslef...... Don't want to even try to go tomorrow TO HECKTIC

[h2o2gunr]

just found this site im in kc, grandview actually.

[bottlefed89]

So allseasons, did you buy anything sun.?? I wasn't real impressed with the show of manufacturers there. Saw some cool rocks, but that was about it. It would sure suck to have to set up for those events.

[allseasonsllc]

I didn't end up going. I went to St. Louis to see my uncle, the doctors didn't think he would make it through the weekend so the family went down to see him. He's "ok" now but have to see. Hope next year show is better by what i hear.

[robertsturf]

WE have been mowing and doing clean-ups since the first of March. I am reay to mow most of my properties the 2nd time. Late fall fertilizer really helps.

[bottlefed89]

Robert, where are you mowing?? Do anything around Woods Chapel & 470/291?? I've seen a couple people with mowers in the area that I've not seen before.

Allseasons - you didn't miss anything. Hope your uncle continues to get better

[robertsturf]

Yes I mow some accounts in that area. I use a Wright Stander and Lesco walk behind

[robertsturf]

Bottlefed89 , also my name is Trent , I get that a lot my last name is Roberts. I have seen a guy mowing with a Gravely Z mower , next to one of my properties. I have also seen a lot of mow , blow, and goes in that area too. Not to concerned with their quality though.

[rockstate]

I have like 5-7 in each area but i spend about 10 minutes goin from the large areas

[bottlefed89]

Trent, what color's your truck??

[allseasonsllc]

Anyone here interested in 2 mow jobs to sub out from myself. 1 in lawerance and 1 in ottawa. if so email me at allseasonslawn@mchsi.com

[robertsturf]

Bottlefed89 I drive a white 2003 Chevy 2500 Silverado 4 x 4 with my decals on it.

[timinkc]

FINNALY SOME RAIN!!!!!

[robertsturf]

No kidding, it was actually nice to miss half a day of mowing because of the rain. It's getting dry already!

[bottlefed89]

It rained like a.............. for a while there, I've got a few spots I won't be able to mow for another week now.

[robertsturf]

That's a bummer , I've got a few lawns that are always wet. It's a real pain to mow , when you have to double cut the lawn , for no extra charge.

[allseasonsllc]

Still need one more sub for ottawa Ks if interested i will sub out to you contact me at 816-215-6385 ASAP><>.............................

[Rayray]

tricky,
Welcome to the site. What type of work do you do? What's the name of the business?

[LuxuryLawns]

Who was mowing in Atherton, Mo today?
He was driving a Dodge Durango and had a Exmark Walk.

[tricky]

Thank you for the welcome,

I just run of of my last name now Gensler Lawn Care. I ran Southside Lawn Care a few years back when I was in college and I am just now getting back into it. Now I am working with a buddy and we mainly just cut, trim, & edge for the lawn care stuff, but we do quite a bit of handyman work and small construction. A little bit of landscaping on a small scale, small tree removal, painting, we have a few decks lined up this summer to build already. we want to keep the lawncare to less than 20 accounts because we are both teachers and are doing this on a part time basis right now. Just something to keep us busy during the summer.

[Grub]

Olathe area here

[timinkc]

ya i believe it was yellow, and they had a z and a stander of some kind...it was an open trailer

[Hamons]

anybody have any reccomendation of a decent welder int he Johnson COunty area. I screwed up the door on my encloded trailer and need to get it fixed!

[packerbacker]

Jeff, ever go to Arnolds in downtown OP? Theres a mechanic that works up there that welds. I cant remember his name, older looking guy with a ponytail.

[KCLandscape]

Yea Jeff and Donnie @ Arnolds might be able to do it. Also WD welding off 635 and Merriam Lane. Marrs guys told me you have a nice trailer, what happened to the door?

[PLM-1]

I'm in Lawrence. If anybody needs anything in or around Lawrence let me know! I do just about everything. Snow removal next year as well.

[bottlefed89]

I went to school with Arnolds grandson, they are good guys, go there if you get the chance.
greg

[Hamons]

I drove off without getting the side rampdoor on the enclsoed part latched and it opened up while driving down College. Hit a curb cut and got slightly mangled!!
