All who know Max are very aware that he LOVES to mow lawns. In fact, this has been his love since his very first "Little Tykes" lawn mower at age 6 months old. This may be due to the fact that I use to put him on my back in a backpack to mow our own lawn?? :) Who knows how he came to LOVE mowing lawns.
Well, he LOVES it so much he has started his own business at age 11. He came up with the name MAXimum Lawncare...No Blade Out of Place. Pretty cute name huh! Max is now mowing 8 lawns. His Thursdays are booked solid with clients!! He is completely enjoying himself. For the last few weeks he has been hauling all the equipment with the help of Mom in the van. However, thanks to Bokah he now has his own "Rig". Bokah supplied him with an ATV attached to a trailer. Yea!!! Now everything fits on the trailer and no more hauling in the van.
It is a pretty awesome site seeing him come down the road on the 4-wheeler with the trailer attached. He takes great pride in his work and loves what he does!
He hopes by the end of the summer that he has earned enough money to buy a laptop (mac) computer, or maybe a motorcycle. Hasn't quite decided which would be best. Oh yea, he has also thought about a ride-on mower. We'll see what he decides to do! Way to go Max. We're proud that you are a hard worker, and take pride in the job that you do!As he was mowing his first lawn with the trailer and ATV he stopped the mower and said "Hey Mom, now it really feels like a real business".

Cutting grass must be in the VanLeeuwen blood. What a great opportunity for him to give a service to the neighborhood. He is mature to have such a strong work ethic. I am sure it is a huge relief to have the rig from your dad. That is awesome!
That is quite amazing! 8 lawns already! I can see why he likes it! That lawn mower is probably like a car for him. That is great that he is already a hard worker. :)
Max rocks and anyone who needs his lawn mowed, I would highly recommend him. Or if you need a bike repaired, blender fixed, or satellite put up into orbit. He is just that smart and very talented. ***** Five stars Max!
