Battling the Weather

When Mowing for Money and dealing with many yards, sometimes Mother Nature seems to do her best to reak havoc on your operation. It never fails when you have a ton of mowing to do and no other time to do it in your crazy schedule, it decides to rain, and not just a little bit, it decides to downpour and ruin any chance you had of getting your mowing done. I cant tell you how many times I have had several yards to do that were starting to get pretty high and wouldn't you know it, rain. The only real way to combat this is to try and look at the extended forecast and attempt to plan a mowing schedule around this. Although this may help a little bit, we all know how inaccurate the forecast can be sometimes. If you are mowing a lot of yards and you think that your only going to mow when it is completely dry, you are sadly mistaken, especially in the spring. It is important to just do your best to make the yard look high quality and pretty even when dealing with wet conditions. Be careful with your turns when it is wet as to not tear up the grass and leave marks everywhere. Do not skid and lock up the wheels to leave marks, make slow easy turns and keep the wheels moving. Also if you must mow in the rain, make sure it is not soaked. Small amounts of rain are okay to mow in but if the ground is completely saturated you should just forget it and try to get it the next day. When Mowing for Money the rain will make life difficult, but if you try to plan around it you should be okay.
