One guy would start, while his buddy would drive up the street and try and secure more deals. Took him about 15-20 mins to do the lawn. His friend came back, picked him up and off to the next one.
I admired their entrepreneurship.

That reminds me of my first job.... When I was 12 I used my dads pressure washer and spent many weekends cleaning peoples porches, driveways and sidewalks for $10 to $30. I used their water too! My friends and I found lawn equipment like lawnmowers and weed whackers in peoples garbages. We fixed them up and started a lawn service too.
