Lawn care business tips
To land jobs you must first be legit. Is a risk to jump right in I know but its like this if you purchase equipment now your 100% committed and less likely to fail in your venture. You must advertise to make it happen,have equipment, advertise, and you will land jobs. Go for it... Happy Cutting!

Welcome to our forum!

Can you ask around to your family, friends, and neighbors and see if you can take care of their property? Get a couple of them to sign up with you and then see what equipment you feel you need to perform the job. Then scale up as you go.
