How To Market Your Lawn Care Business With Only $500?
Got $500 and a dream? Here’s exactly how to turn it into real paying lawn care customers — without wasting a dime.
✅ 1. Set Up and Optimize Your Google Business Profile
Go to Google Business Profile and create your free listing.
Fill out everything: business name, phone number, service area, hours, services, description, and upload real photos.
Having a complete profile helps you show up when people near you search for lawn care — and it’s one of the easiest ways to get free leads.
✅ 2. Print 100 Yard Signs
Go to a local print shop or order online.
Make a simple sign:
“Lawn Care Service – Call/Text (123) 456-7890”Put them on busy corners, near jobs, and in your own yard.
Cost: About $200–$250
✅ 3. Boost a Facebook Post
Post a few before-and-after lawn photos on your Facebook business page.
Boost the post for $5/day targeting people in your city.
Tip: Set the area within 10-15 miles of where you live.
Cost: $150–$200 (for a month of boosting)
✅ 4. Print Basic Flyers
Print 200–300 flyers at Office Depot, Staples, or any print shop.
Flyers should say:
Your services (Mowing, Cleanups, Mulch)
Your phone number
“Free Quotes Available”
Hand them out at neighborhoods, gas stations, and post on community bulletin boards.
Cost: About $30–$50
✅ 5. Offer a Referral Reward
Tell your customers:
“Refer a friend, get $20 off your next service!”Only pay when someone actually sends you a paying customer.
Cost: Only when you get results
