Research paper on starting a Lawn Care Service

[JMS]

Hi, I am a senior in High School, going to school half a day and working, desiging maps for the next 7 hours 4 days a week.

Two things I would like to start my own business, I am not afraid of hard work and want to be charge of my future.
I have a small dodge truck that I am currently paying for, and about $1000. in the Bank. I have started establishing credit.

The second things is I have a research paper for school that I am working n on your career Choice. I chose Lawn Service.

I need 3 different means by which I can be prepared or trained for this career choice.

Start up cost
Business Plan
Projected expenses and income.

Gopher Graphics sounds like it has enough experience people here to help me get started.

Thank you for your assistance.

These are just a couple questions to answer first:
1. What are the size of the properties that you want to maintain?
2. Do you want to do this long term or short term?
