Kinda new to this. Thinking to offer more services. Not sure what all is done with spring clean ups? Blow out flower beads, pick up yard, weed some?

Good idea, how about cleaning out gutters & downspouts also? I would not use a rake, either by hand with gloves on or leaf blower, remember Safety First, watch out for bees, wasps, hornets, you may want to purchase a can of spray & take up with you.

Depends what the client wants.

Usually, I start out walking around the yard picking up garbage and fallen branches. Then, I use my blower to blow out all the leaves. I also use my powerbroom to remove all the rocks off the ground. Trim the dead perenial stems. Cleaning gutters is a good idea also.

Power raking is also a good idea to lift up the grass blades and get that oxygen in the soil.

One can make good money offering these services.

Perfect. I don't have a power rake but would just talking it with a leaf rake work?

Absolutely! That is how I started. When I got tired, I got a power rake and back pack blower. Gets things done faster.

Free mulch job!? Or three mulch jobs?

No problem. Glad I can help. It lets you start your season a little earlier also.

45-50$/hour

Average 1.5 - 2 hours = 75$-100$ + tax
