A must-have for those just starting out. I couldn't have done it without this book. It covers everything - employees, marketing, business management, record keeping, accounting, and estimating. Lots of great tips on customer service. Check out his website

I have found Owen's book to be a delightfully well written resource for starting a home-based landscaping business. The real life, experienced based business advice he shares is worth much more than the purchase price of his book. I have other resource books at hand, but Owen's book has become my favorite.

Great book on how to start up a landscaping business but I need more information directed at lawn maintenance...

However I pass it on to a friend who loved it and is making $5000 a month as a landscape subcontractor after 60 days in business... sure beats his old salary of $1800 a month. Now he works outside and great hours and no corporate bull jive!!

Easy to read and easy to follow but you will need to seek more books on WHAT TO DO and HOW TO DO THE PROJECTS!!

=)

With no more than a couple of months's experience, I started a landscaping business using this book as a guide. It's running smoothly and my customers are happy. Everything you need to know is covered.

If you are considering starting a business this book is a must read. the principals listed in the book apply to almost any business, but the references are definately targeted at landscaping.

The book is well written, easy to undersatnd, and makes a lot of sense. this is money well spent.

Perfect for the business end of landscaping or design. Things that they didn't teach you in college. This book is an asset for almost any home based business. Thank you Owen, it's just what I needed.

If you want to start a ladscape companey this uis the book you want!
From the foundation to the long run it's full of great advice and instruction. I would recomend it to any new buisiness owner.

The book has plenty of information and ideas for starting a landscaping biz, and presented in a light-hearted style that I appreciate. Thanks to Mr. Dell for sharing his insights.

Great help for those getting started in the landscaping business from an experienced author. Level headed advice. Highly recommended.

The book covers all of the basic neccesitites to getting starting. It also breaks each component down with easy to understand detail. Getting things gowing is hard enough on your own, its great to have this as a reference guise as you go. Would reccomend to all beginers in the landscaping business.
