tips on starting a lawn care bussiness?

me and by brother were thinking of starting a small lawn care bussiness for the summer, in our service we would do the lawn cut weed-wipping and finish by using a leaf blower for the clean up of the driveways and walkways, how much would you pay for the service that we would have? (the lawn area in most of the houses are 3,000 square feet) what the lowest amount you would pay and the highest? we would advertise by giving the houses in out area a flier a paper advertising our service. what are some information should we include in the paper? will our regular push mowers last very long if they are used daily? how many costumers should we expect for each day? we live in around Cleveland Ohio and the average salary that these homeowners have each year is anywhere from about from $50,000 to 100,000

1. Save the trouble of the leaf blower usage by weed whacking before u mow. all the grass u displace goes on lawn and u can bag it up with mower. Get small push mowers with commercial engines, which are designed for more use than residential mowers. Honda is reliable. price of jobs should be based on how long u spend there. Always get 20-30 dollars per hour to cover labor and repairs plus travel. ad - mention free estimates, reliable, quality service etc keep this in mind -- people with decent houses may do lawn themself if they are in a certain age range most of my customers are over 60 or have other issues like weight or allergies hope it works out for ya
