    well being that you are only 14 there is not a whole lot you can do. you can make up flyers and put them in folks maiboxes. if it is a local community et them know you are local. the prices depend on the yard size, 15 to 20 for front half of that in back (again depends on size. if you have not means of transport do not get into clearing anything because dad may be busy or have other plans. if a costomer wants you to clear an area and stack it where they will handle. then go for it. pick up all the trash from the yard before you begin mowing and one of you do the weedeating and edging and the other cutting.

    Advertising- Try just askin your neibours first and ask them to recomend you to friend and family. And if you’re in a neighbourhood ask people ont eh other side ofit. Make fliers and put them up in gas stations or a local groesery store

    Transpertation- if its a riding lawn mower and close ride it there and get a tralier to pull behind it. If you have a pick up truck that works good for a riding lawn mower build a ramp to push it up.

    Mowing tips- Go over half of the line you just mowned so you dont miss spots. Weed eating dont get it into peoples flowers it ticks them off and you will loss buissness. Brush removel get a good rack and bags to put them in and find a way to get ride of the bags to. If you dont have a bag mower rake after your done mowing. Get clippings off sidewalks, drive ways, proches, it will make you look more profestioal and will look cleaner.

    Pricing- Make sure you charge a resonable price. Make sure you get enought from each yard to pay for gas.
