- 500′ of overgrown fence line. Good money for a lawn care business owner.
Can you make money clearing fences for your lawn care business customers? Yes.
Is it fun? No.
Fence clearing is one of those jobs that no one likes. It’s laborious, slow moving, and hard on weedeaters & other lawn care equipment (not to mention your back). Fence rows become overgrown quickly and since nobody truly likes clearing fence rows those jobs can generate good money for your lawn care business. Especially if you have customers in rural areas where fence rows are common, you should consider adding fence row clearing to your list of lawn care services.
What’s so bad about clearing fence rows and is it worth the money?
Despite heavy brush that chokes your weedeaters, broken barbed wire fence sections that can penetrate your skin, briars & thorns that get tangled in your clothing, snakes, bees, wasps and poison ivy, a properly cleared fence row greatly improves the apprearance of a piece of property and makes the owner very happy (and willing to spend good money on your lawn care services).
There is good money in fence clearing if you know how to price your jobs correctly. You can use the estimating software located in our (Start A Lawn Care Business) program to help you calculate prices on your lawn care jobs. It is a HUGE help especially if you are just starting out or if you are looking to expand your lawn care business this year with new customers and new services.
Whenever we’re tackling an overgrown fence row like the one pictured above, I always have Guns’n’Roses playing in my head.
