Check Your Gear
A mower you own or can borrow, a trimmer, a rake, yard bags and work gloves. Start the mower and test it in your own yard before your first job so nothing fails in front of a customer.
- 2
Pick Your Street
Start within walking distance. Write down ten to fifteen houses with yards that look overdue for a cut, and skip any home with a no-soliciting sign. Weekday evenings and Saturday mornings are when people are usually home.

What to Say at the Door
Keep it short and friendly: “Hi, I’m [your name]. I live close by and I’m cutting yards on this street this week. I can do yours today or Saturday. Want me to put you down?” If they say not today: “No problem. Can I leave my number in case it gets away from you? I’m back on this street every two weeks.”
