5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Starting My Own Lawn Care Business Because of this Book, August 17, 2009

I have searched every corner of my brain trying to think of the perfect business to get myself into as I wanted to work for myself. When I found this book, I found my answer.


What they've said is true, "Find something you enjoy doing and you'll never have to work a day in your life". For me it's lawn care, landscaping and all the other aspects of beautifying homes and their surroundings.


Being able to make a living out of an activity I enjoy doing is really the icing on the cake. The author, Patrick Cash, wonderfully shares a step-by-step guide to make all this come true. I don't have to hire a consultant to draw me a process map to get my own lawn care business off the ground because this book has it all, in a short, sweet and simple format.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Business Guide for Landscaping Business, January 16, 2012

This review is from: Lawn Care Business Guide: The Definitive Guide To Starting and Running Your Own Successful Lawn Care Business (Volume 1) (Kindle Edition)

If you need to take a landscaping hobby to the next level and make it your sole source of income, you will find this book very helpful. The chapters within cover everything from licensing to advertisement and the services that you can promote or specialize in. I have never started a business so the legal and tax information that is covered in the early chapters was especially helpful. I had a side business with a few clients but taking any business to the next level (mine did not even have a name) requires much more and I found what I needed here. You will not find a landscaping course or a landscaping design course inside these pages but if you are hoping to go into business caring for lawns, all the information that you need is included.

I was very pleased with the information I got from this book. Pat obviously knows what he is talking about especially regarding the business end of operating a lawn care company. He has many wise suggestions for running your business successfully. If I had a complaint I guess I would have liked to have had more information in the book about the nuts and bolts of lawn care, but I guess thats another book entirely. Overall this book is a very helpful resource.
