I'd have to say I was a little disappointed with this book. Some of the information was useful, but overall it was not very helpful and it was very dated. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone wanting to start a lawn care company. There are better choices out there like Patrick Cash's Lawn Care Business Guide.

This book is a great guide on how to start yourself out in business, especially if you have very little funds to invest. It is a guide for those who like money and are not afraid of hard work. Highly recommend it.

I reviewed a recent, updated version of the book "How To Make Big Money Mowing Small Lawns"; the 2008, Fourth Edition. First, this is not a technical book about lawn care. It is a unique book, simple and direct about the business of mowing lawns. And, it thoroughly covers the most important thing: showing exactly how to get customers and make money. This chapter alone is well worth the price of the book. Techniques here will likely never be outdated. Overall, the book is a complete guide.
Of particular interest, the author has geared this book for even a 15-year-old to go into business and to do it with only a minimal investment and approach. And to then grow to a point, where (in the book) his son (while in High School) was earning twice the weekly income of many local factory workers.
I have considerable experience in various businesses, and books like this, about making money, usually do not fully satisfy one's expectations. However this book does. It's a "gem". I highly recommend it.
Note: I noticed that there is another, particular reviewer, who was excessively critical of this book. Then he recommends a different book. Do we detect a conflict of interest here? His review, sadly, misrepresented this book. And, he referred to individuals who would do this work as being "scrubs". Why?

This book was used as a gift to my brother who soon will be retiring and I thought perhaps this would be a good side job for him and he could do it on his own hours. It was autographed and he was pleased to receive it.
