One of the benefits of robotic mowing is that it reduces the costs for your lawn care company. If you automate the mowing part of your services, then you can allow your crews to concentrate on the other lawn services that you provide to your customers. You just need one of your crew members in order to manage up to 20 robots every single day. That crew member should still have plenty of time to take care of the creative responsibilities associated with your lawn care company. Using a robot to mow a lawn will save you up to 80% of the time that it would take to mow that lawn if one of your crew members did it himself. 

Another benefit of robotic mowing is that it can increase your productivity in general. Since robots can take care of the mowing for you, crew members can complete more difficult tasks. If you have a long to-do list of services you need to do, your crew members can work on doing things on that list, too. 

Robotic lawn care is also much quieter compared to standard mowing performed by one of your crew members mowing using a ride-on lawnmower. This helps because you can mow at any time. Thanks to the decreased noise, you should not have to worry about bothering tenants if you are mowing in a residential area. If you are mowing your own property, your neighbors probably won't get annoyed because robotic lawn care is far quieter than traditional lawn care. 

Robotic Lawn Care Is Good for the Environment

About 5% of the U.S.'s pollution comes from the use of lawn equipment. Robots do not produce any emissions while mowing lawns. Robots are also energy efficient in that they use only about 5% of the amount of energy of a ride-on lawnmower. According to statistics from the EPA, a single gas mower running for one hour emits a number of pollutants that is equivalent to the number of pollutants that eight new cars produce when they are driving 55 miles per hour for an hour. 

Robotic Lawn Care Is Weather Proof

You don't have to worry about rain delays or crews that do not arrive on time. Robots can mow every single day and night if necessary. Rain delays affect you no matter where you are and the southwest regional average for rain days is roughly 40 days in the southwestern U.S. states. A few of the northern U.S. states get roughly 160 rain days a year. Robotic lawn care eliminates the problem of rain delays. 

Robotic Lawn Care Is Safe

Robotic lawn mowers mow gently around the fields and the lawnmower's rotation instantly stops if the mower is lifted. The blades pivot away from obstacles so you won't have to worry about damaged lawn mower blades so much. Traditional ride-on lawnmowers are not completely safe. With robotic lawnmowers, your crew members and anyone else can stay safe since whoever is managing the robotic lawnmowers can make sure that no one gets hurt during lawn mowing.

Many people who grew up in the '70s and '80s remember summer as a time to have fun and also earn extra money doing jobs like mowing lawns. Nowadays, the only time you may see a teenager mowing the lawn is if their parents sent them outside to do it. This begs the question, can teenagers still make money mowing lawns?

The answer is a resounding yes. According to MarketWatch, some kids in Colorado could earn around $100,000 a year mowing lawns in 2017. This is not an effortless task. It requires them to start as early as 2:30 a.m. Of course, most teenagers who mow lawns over the summer will not make six figures. However, there are some things that should be kept in mind by teenagers who want to mow lawns to make extra money.

What Does Being a Teen Lawn Mower Require?

You are going to spend a considerable amount of your time outdoors. You must be able to transport your lawnmower to the site, or use your clients' lawnmowers. The job may entail removing debris from the lawn before you mow it.

Since you will work under the sun, you will need to protect your skin by wearing protective clothing and sunscreen. It’s a physical job. The healthier you are, the better.

How Much Do Teenagers Typically Make Mowing Lawns?

How much you earn will vary. It depends on where you live and the size of the lawns you are mowing. Some teens choose to charge by the hour. Prices could range as little as $5 up to $30 an hour. Another option is to charge by the size of the lawn. If the lawn is small and easy to mow, you might just charge $10. If it is large and complex, you may charge $100 or more.

The biggest indicator of the price is the size of the lawn. Other factors that could influence the price are the amount of cleanup that is involved, the height of the lawn, and the number of obstacles you need to avoid to do your job.

How Can a Teenager Get Started Mowing Lawns?

• First, talk to your parents. Let them know what you are thinking about doing. They can help you find safe clients.
• Next, decide if you will use your own tools or if you will use the client’s tools. Tools you will need include a lawnmower, a lawn mower bag, rakes, brooms, and tools to repair your lawn mower. Your initial investment could range between $300 to $2,000.
• Now, market yourself. Use posters, the Internet, word-of-mouth, etc.
• Once you start to get business, pace yourself. You don’t want to take on too many lawns and give poor service. This could damage your reputation.
• You need to invest some of the money you make in tools and improving your setup. Eventually, you will see your profits grow.

Mowing lawns is still a viable way for teenagers to make money. A teenager may need to check with local laws to make sure that they have all the permits and insurance needed to operate a business of this sort.
