This book is geared towards what the lawn care industry calls "scrubs". The author's suggested methods of getting to the jobs? Walk, or put your 20" push mower in the back of your station wagon. Money saving advice? Use your customers lawn mower! This book is full of bad advice for anyone truly wanting a legitimate lawn care business. No metion is ever made of figuring overhead expenses, insurance, or any of the other day to day business concerns. There are better books out there for starting a lawn service. Lawn Care & Gardening A Down To Earth Guide To The Business By Mickey Willis is much more in depth and benefitial to someone wanting to break into the biz. If your 12 years old, and can borrow your parents mower, you might like this book. DO NOT buy this book thinking you will start a business.

Easy read with very simple instructions on how to be sucessful at a mowing business. I read this at a library, however I did just notice there is a more up to date version, but only available as an electronic book at greenfromgreen.com. I found this book like a handbook that filled my wallet. I recommend it without reservation.

The paperback is a little dated, however on greenfromgreen.com you can get the 2006 version. I found this updated version to be much more helpful. Thanks for the tip OLDSAGE it has helped me lots.
Who would think I can get my execise and make money at the same time. Great book that any lawn care professional would want to ban in his area least he face stiff competition. It takes complex buisness planning and simplifies them for the average reader.

I recieved the above book, although it was a bit outdated the techniques and tribulations seem to have remained somewhat the same. Do not purchase this book if you are new to the business.

The book over all was OK. I was able to get some pointers from it. However, the data and examples are very outdated (in some cases more than 20 years). A re-write with more modern information would make this book much better.

Great, easy to understand charts. Simplistic pricing method. Simple to understand and extremely helpful/useful in earning extra income. This book offers unique and insightful ideas to help get you off the ground. If your children/grandchildren read this book, the real life experience of the author will enable them to have insight into business that is fundamental to becoming entrepreneurial.
