How We Get Our Small Engine Power Equipment

Most of the mowers we have done were donated to us from our neighborhood!  We also take trade -ins (working or not) when someone buys a mower from us generally for $20 against the purchase price.  We also look at social media sites and purchase premium mowers (Honda, John Deere (older ones), and Hi-Vac Snapper and Commercial Grade Mowers)

Small Engine Flippers behind a Honda push mower.

Founded July 2020

While camping in the mountains we talked a lot about starting our very own business.  We thought about everything from building a parking lot to walking dogs.  When we got back home we found a free curbside push mower on the Nextdoor app and we picked it up and flipped it the next day.  We started our business from $0 (with the exception of dad donating some oil and carb cleaner).
