But you may be wondering how to start a garden and landscape maintenance business. Is it something you can do? Definitely!
Recently, I met two guys in Home Depot who had a catchy logo on the back of their jackets, I just had to comment on it. When I did, they explained they had started a grass and snow business a few years ago, now they have a few crews that do the work, and they run the business part... they were surprised their business grew so quickly.
You could do this too!

What they've said is true, "Find something you enjoy doing and you'll never have to work a day in your life". For me it's lawn care, landscaping and all the other aspects of beautifying homes and their surroundings.
The vast majority of new lawn care businesses fail. Most of the time they fail because they don't know the tips, tricks, and secrets veteran business owners have learned through years of trial and error.
The sooner you learn these secrets, the better your chances are of finding long term success.
I attend many conferences (trainings) for my website business and you need training too!
