Possibly contact your current clients and offer to pressure wash their drive, patios, and walks at a discounted rate. Rent a pressure washer at your local rental house. This will be great especially if your getting paid on a per cut basis--it will temporarily supplement your income. If you are on an annual contract basis it will make them feel as if you are still doing something for them--people get fussy when they are paying for services and you are not showing up. You never know you may pick up some of their neighbors in the process.

Hope this helps!

 

Always have side work lined up for just that reason. Trimming hedges, shrubs, and trees are a good way to keep busy. Also when doing work at a customers house look for things that need doing, like driveway sealing or mulch, whatever just make notes on each property and start selling jobs.

GOOD LUCK.

 

Same here in michigan Mitch. I just started my lawn company this spring. I purchased all the equipment and now I'm mowing about every three weeks. Its the worst mowing since 1988. I've also purchased a power washer. That has helped me. I'll power wash customers decks and re-stain them. Its quick way to make a few hundred bucks.
