Starting a Lawn Mowing Business - How to Build Your Own Successful Lawn & Garden Business in 30 Days

Starting a Lawn Mowing Business, or "How To Build Your Own Successful Lawn and Garden Business in 30 Days"

If you are considering starting your own Lawn and Garden Maintenance Business, then the quickest way to establish a constant, regular and solid income is in Garden Makeovers.

"Garden Makeovers" is a term that describes the type of Gardening work you can offer your prospective customers.

This type of work can include all (or a mix of) the following:

Lawn mowing and lawn care
Trim plants, shrubs and hedges
Weed garden areas and paved areas
Supply and plant shrubs and trees
Supply and install mulch and recycled tree chips
Under-prune (raise canopies) of trees
Remove rubbish and green waste
Vacuum and clean all paved areas (for example, car-park areas in commercial properties)
Re-establish garden beds with new soil and compostNow when you are quoting or estimating this kind of work you need to understand that the degree of difficulty in quoting is entirely different to quoting for a lawn mowing job.

With a Garden Makeover you are quoting on a list of many jobs. Based on this, many contractors (especially Lawn Mowing ones) do not bother to quote because it's just too hard and complicated.

Smart business operators will capitalize on this and quote for the Garden Makeovers. Usually the prospect will take the first quote that comes in because it usually is the only quote they can get (keeping in mind the other contractors are either lazy to do quotation or the garden makeover quotation is just too complicated to do.

How to Start a Lawn & Garden Care Business - From Scratch

How Do You Start a Lawn and Garden Care Business from scratch?

This is, no doubt, the big question asked by many people wanting to quit working for the boss. However, starting from scratch is easier than it sounds.

There are several key areas that need to be addressed initially:

Dream & Desire: If you are reading this article you have reached the first step in starting your own successful Lawn and Garden business. The first step is having a Dream and the Desire to succeed in the world of business.
A Plan Of Action: With desire, you need to put in place a plan of action. This plan may be in the form of a business plan. Smart operators can create a plan of action that is reduced to a One Pager Business Plan. Some successful business people say if you cannot put your ideas for success on 1 page then they are not worth pursuing.
Business Details: Details of your new business venture need to be worked out. These details include what you are going to call your business. Marketing experts prefer a business to be called something that relates to the industry you are in. Instead of Joe Smith Lawnmowing, you are better calling yourself Greenfields Lawn Care for example. The advantage with this sort of business name is you can sell the business with a Business Name (and associated good will) and in terms of (internet marketing) search engine optimisation your business name will receive good ranking on the search engines.
Other Details Of Business: When you get down to the nitty gritty of the Lawn and Garden Business you need to look at how you will get customers (marketing), how you will price jobs (quoting procedures), how you will present yourself, your business and your image (branding), how you will build your own successful lawn and garden business so you earn a good income immediately (cash flow), how you will manage your pipeline of jobs (employee versus sub-contractors) and so on.
