Excellent well balanced book,

This review is from: Start & Run A Landscaping Business (Paperback)
This book was very well written with good balance between general business advice and more specific landscaping advice. I like that he does not mind going out on a limb to recommend specific brands and types of commercial lawn care equipment. He also includes a very handy CD filled with all sorts of sheets that can b personalized to your individual use. This book should become the authoritative guide to those looking to enter the business.

Landscaping,
This review is from: Start & Run A Landscaping Business (Paperback)
Very good book on business side, not much information about landscaping itself. Very detailled information about opening a business. Costs, overhead costs, and initial capital.
