Exclamation Finally doin it

Hello,

I am finally deciding to go for a dream I've wanted for years now, to start my own landscaping business. I am located in Vermont and will be starting in the spring of 2011. My hope is to get a few small jobs this fall and start a full time lawncare service starting the following spring.

My main goal is to keep the drive and work ethic to make this happen. Anyone have suggestions on how to keep that desire and drive to let my next contract stay as exciting as my first? I'm going to start by offering weekly lawn mowing, edging, trimming and blowing. Any suggestions on some other good intro work for a business? Any suprises in jobs that ended up being your real money maker? Pressure washing? I don't know, I'm just rambling now and hoping to keep learning as much as possible. Thanks.

Cheers,

Rick

Lawn care business tips
Hi Rick,

Welcome to our forum!

Why put starting it off for another year. Why not get started this year?
