I am an ex Jim's Mowing Franchisee who now has his own independent operation. I specialise in Mowing and Lawn care, but take on other maintenance jobs too.

I charge for the specific jobs I am asked for, and not by the hour. This will invariably include the removal of waste for recycling.

It is actually just coming up to 3 years old, and it gets serviced annually as part of the lease. I have it for another 2 years yet, but am already thinking about what to get next. If you were to buy one like that outright you would be looking at at least £30K. I may have a smaller version of that onto a Nissan Dyna next, or just a pick up and trailer, I dont know yet.

I dont do much tree work apart from pruning, and nothing over 5mtrs. I refer them to the Tree monkeys for the stuff that requires it.

Thank you.

Jim's Mowing is a good concept, and in theory should work and it obviously does in Aus. But, the Guy (s) who run it here (both have subsequently been removed as they were so bad) simply run it like the old con franchise way in that they take the ingoing fee, bill you every month, and cant see that they have to do anything more than permit you to have the logo on your van. In the end I and the many others that have left realised that you can just do this yourself and save yourself the monthly fee. It would have been good, imagine if all the local mowing round guys were working together, charging similar high rates, and if one couldnt do it, another could. But, the directors just saw it as a cash cow. S

Welcome Rob to the LJN site. I am sure you will find it useful and enjoyable.

What made you give up on Jim's as I was under the impression they ran a good operation?
