your making some coin in short time.

I have 37 yards like this to do this week.
One of the other guys in this zone got fired. All his yards are over 30 days late

Going to park the toro and bring out the big guns.

Yes.

Anything over 3 feet you can bid.

Any thing over a foot is extra cash.


They have no one to cut grass in this zone now but me.

That is incredible! You are making more than a lawyer!
Lucky you.

How many foreclosed houses are around your town? There seem to be many.

1000s of them but not all are Safegaurd homes.

I just talked to a guy just got on with Safegaurd. They give him 5 trash outs a week. That's good money but I love cutting grass to much.

I didn't know working for Safeguard was that good money.

Just have to know how to work them.

Bid the work high. They sit on it till the town gives them a violation then they have to pay to get it done.

You would think they would just offer half of the bid price and get done now.

I double everyone of my bids.

So a yard I would do for $300 I bid for $600 and get $400.

A recut pays $35
I sub them out for $25
I have over 300 weekly recuts.

The funny thing is I have been trying to get out of property preservation work.

With all the other venders not being able to handle the work load I am in a spot.

I don't want to burn any bridges in case I need to use this bridge again.
