Default Potential Newbie from Alaska

Hello everyone-
My name is Chris and I live in Alaska
My wife,brother and I are considering getting into the lawn care / snow removal buiseness and are just currently doing a ton of research.
The buiseness will be a part time thing at first not looking to get rich just fund some Alaska sized toys and hobbies.
A little bit about us my brother Shane is a carpenter by trade and has been building Elite Trex decks for about a year. He is also a volunteer Firefighter.
My wife Erica is a registered nurse and currently the Quality Improvement Manager at the hospital she works for.
I am a Career Firefighter and Volunteer with a little extra time on my hands.
This is really has been all my idea but I have convinced them to come along for the ride.
Hope to learn lots from all of you.
Chris

Lawn care business tips
Hi Chris,

Welcome to our forum!

Do you have any pics of your department up there and your area? I'd love to see them.

Where are you now in your business building process?
