Doing lawn care will be a great FREE marketing strategy for you. Keep some fliers and business cards with at all times. When you do a lawn care service for a client, hand them a flier and business card. Never know, they might have stuff for you while your there!

Looks sharp. I'd call you

I don't know if it helps or hurts me, but I name off all the towns around me within a 30/40 mile radius. My thoughts are if someone googles/searches CL for "scrap pickup boise" or whatever, I am easier to find.
