The one down side is your name doesn’t describe what you do that well. At a quick glance “yard guy” doesn’t mean as much as “lawn care” or something similar. As you move forward having keywords to the trade in your name may prove useful.
Yeah, it may attract more customers that are on a tight budget or are cheap, looking for a neighborhood kid instead of an actual professional business.

I think it's gimmicky. I as someone that doesn't personally do contracts at this point, I don't think it's a good idea to have "no contracts" on your ad. Cheapskate people that will try and get you to come one week, not the other, maybe not this week since ce it isn't too tall, etc. That's who you'll attract. You want to know that the client you worked to get will provide a set minimum revenue for the year. Especially at the beginning of the season. Some guys have their clients prepay the entire year. Some guys tally up a year of service, and divide by 12 equal months. It's a bit cheaper during knowing season, but allows them a steady monthly budget and provides you with income during winter. Whether you line those up with written or verbal contracts, or however, it's still a form of contract. You will limit your growth, even as a solo if you don't figure out how to get a client and maintain that steady revenue. And then be able to project for the next year based on those contracts.

This is the current name of my business/operation.



It is a one man deal. I don't plan on adding on any workers anytime soon. The main focus is mowing, weed eating, edging and blowing with other services such as mulch, pinestraw, bush trimming and leaf clean up. I can carry on alot of workload seeing one of my biggest priorities in life is maintaining and intentionally doing good health.



Looking for positives to this chosen name? Then limitations? How do others perceive me?



Thank you.
It's whimsical, I like it. It's a moniker that most are likely to remember. However, you may want link something easy like, "THMYG" to your full business name so any customers writing checks can use the abbreviation rather than the full name.
