Congratulations on the growth you’ve already achieved! Reaching 55 recurring lawns in your first season is a solid foundation.
I’m in a similar position where my long-term goal is to earn HOA and commercial contracts, so I’m following this discussion closely. My focus right now is building strong systems—consistent communication, reliable scheduling, quality work, and earning customer trust—so I’m prepared when those larger opportunities come.
For those who have landed HOA or commercial contracts, what made the biggest difference? Was it networking with property managers, responding to RFPs, building relationships with realtors, joining local business organizations, or simply getting referrals from existing clients?
I appreciate everyone willing to share their experiences. Discussions like this help newer companies like mine build the right foundation from the start.
