I think there is money to be made in mowing but the only way it can be done is to be super efficient. It is kind of like McDonalds. Their food items are cheap but they pump a heck of a lot of them efficiently. You either have to be a one man show working part time with no overhead or you have to put everything into it with truck, trailer and good equipment. Tight routing, and no mucking about. Still in our area I think it is hard to make a living in a 20 week season.
