Leaf Raking Business - Money Fore your Lawn Care Business

Leaves from his trees fell onto his grounds and onto the roadway. A heavy rain washed his leaves onto a storm drain grate. As the leaves clogged the grate water flooded onto his property potentially flooding his store front.

As we move into the end of summer and the autumn months begin, leaf raking will push grass mowing aside as the leading money maker for many lawn care businesses.

While leaf raking can make you a tremendous amount of money during September, October, and November, you need to know how to properly price your leaf raking jobs. Under-estimating is a common problem with new lawn care companies. Under-estimation costs you money. It’s smart to learn proper leaf raking estimation techniques.

Size of the lawn to be raked:

It should go without saying that the size of the lawn to be raked is of primary importance. Given similar working conditions, a smaller yard will take less time to rake than a large sprawling estate. Know the size of the lawn and estimate your price projection based on a “per square foot” cost calculation.

Depth of the leaves to be raked:

The volume of leaves often overwhelm new lawn care business owners. A small yard with deep leaves can take hours to properly clean. If you don’t properly calculate the depth of the leaves you can find yourself losing money as you are knee deep in a yard full of fallen leaves.

Moisture content of the leaves in a yard:

Wet leaves are MUCH harder to clear than dry leaves. Dry leaves can be blown with a backpack leaf blower or “wind-rowed” with a lawn mower. Wet leaves, on the other hand, must be raked and gathered almost entirely by hand. A lawn full of wet compacted leaves can easily take twice as long to clean as a yard full of dry leaves.

If you want to make money this year raking leaves, we encourage you to pick up a copy of the “Start A Lawn Care Business” training course.
