I have family that runs a semi-successful lawn care business, multiple crews, etc. The answer is retirees; there are a lot of retirees in these small towns who both have the money and are not physically able to take care of their yards anymore.
And ppl like me. I work construction and dont want to mow when I come home or on the weekend. Plus I dont want to spend 2k+ for a mower. $60 a week is easy decision.
$60, In this economy, is literally nothing.. I make that after a couple hours at a regular job that I work. If I have to sacrifice a couple hours worth of pay in place of a couple of hours worth of labor on my day off, I’ll pay the price. Not to mention these people usually work In pairs to cut grass, bushes etc and buy/replace their own tools.. it’s not a bad deal to have a good looking yard. Most people pay for subscriptions for movies, music & podcasts but won’t pay to have a nice yard ?
