Lawn care is a route business: the more yards you service close together, the better it pays. You run the mower and set the prices. Your AI team builds the brand, the website and the local ads that fill your route.

How to start a lawn care business.
The steps marked “Your AI team does this” are the ones SoGood builds from your brief. The rest are yours, and they come first.
01
Choose your services
Mowing, edging and trimming are the core, and add-ons like leaf cleanup, aeration and seeding raise what each client is worth. Fertilizing and weed control often need a license, so check before you offer them.
02
Get equipped and insured
Start with a reliable mower, trimmer, edger and blower, plus a way to haul them. Register your business and get liability insurance before your first yard.
03
Price for recurring routes
Charge per visit by yard size, and offer weekly or every-other-week plans so clients stay all season. Keep your clients close together: less driving between yards means more mowing per day.
04
Get a name and a brand
Your AI team does this
Your AI team suggests names, designs a logo and builds a brand kit that looks sharp on door hangers, yard signs and your trailer.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to start a lawn care business?[ + ][ − ]
Your main costs are a mower, trimmer, blower, a way to haul them, fuel and insurance. Many owners start with the equipment they have and upgrade once the route fills. SoGood is free to start. You upgrade to Pro only when you want the full website on your own domain and ads.
How do I price lawn mowing?[ + ][ − ]
Most lawn care businesses charge per visit based on yard size and how long it takes, with discounts for weekly plans. Ask a few local services for quotes so you know the going rate, and time your first jobs to see what each yard is really worth.
How do I get lawn care customers fast?[ + ][ − ]
Go street by street. Once you mow one yard, target the neighbors with door hangers, posts and local ads. Your AI team builds the brand, website and ads from one brief, so you can start the first week.
Am I still in charge?[ + ][ − ]
Always. Your team checks in before anything ships. You say yes or no, and they take it from there.
How much does SoGood cost?[ + ][ − ]
Free to start, with enough to test an idea. Pro is $49/month when you're ready, with no long-term contract.
How fast can I launch?[ + ][ − ]
