I have a lawn care business along with other lines and just starting to use Jobber. My issue is that if I get a request for a full package of services, Lawn mowing, fertilizer, aeration, weed control, fall cleanup, etc, I want to provide a quote for all of those services on one sheet, however, when I go to create the Job, I seem to need to start all over and create a job for the mowing and seperate jobs for all the other services. This means that I either need to just charge a flat reoccuring monthly fee for the year, or charge each job seperately upon the completion of each work. This all seems very manual and I need to start all over again the next year. Ugggg, does anyone have a better way to set up this kind work flow either with Jobber or a different program?

I am looking to buy some grabbers to stick on mowers for my business and my little league fields. I bought some reasonably priced ones on Amazon but when I tried to pick up a half full water bottle one broke.

Does anyone have any recommendations? We want them to reliably pickup baseballs and disposable water bottles and last at least a few months.

Hello I’m 29m w/ wife and 3 kids. I’ve came across a unique opportunity to pursue a dream career I had before starting a lawn care business. I started my business this year and things have been going ok for my first year in. I enjoy the work but I wouldn’t call it my dream job. I really enjoy the flexibility. I drive for uber on the side and have been investigating the full ride “scholarship” through ASU. My dream career is to be a dentist always has been. I worked in the field as an assistant for 4 years before the doctor I worked for retired. I absolutely love the field and feel that it is my calling. But family comes first which is why I left and didn’t pursue school. But a mostly full ride for undergrad would be a game changer for me. I don’t know what to do. Part of me really wants to pursue my dream career. The other part of me wants to see how the business goes. I also thought about maybe doing both. Keep the lawn care business small and use it as income while I go to school. Any ideas or thought would be appreciated.

I have a .25 acre lawn (5b). The service I use today sucks as they have a ride on mower and do a terrible job. I want to get a push mower (ideally Toro) and ensure I have solid stripes. Do I buy new? Can I still get good width with stripes if I get lower than 30” deck? Do I need the stripe attachment to accomplish this…

Appreciate any and all guidance.
