The Lawn Care Entrepreneur - A Start-Up Manual: The Ultimate Lawn Care Business Guide for the Gardening Tycoon

This book provides very reliable information on lawn care business. The book contains the authors own experience and the incidents he faced in starting his business provide a great deal of back up and example for someone.The book goes on explaining number of aspects you have to consider in starting a business like this. Author describes as Advertising, horticulture, marketing, laws and regulations to be some of the main concerns that you would come across. SWOT analysis is recommended before starting. In starting this business you are going to need mower, hedge trimmer, strimmers, edgers and many other equipment. Mobilization will be a major concern and how to plan the transportation is well described in this book. You could advertise your business by labor T-shirts, brand names, stickers, logo and business cards and all the details are well provided by the reader. Accounting and tax details and the need of book keeping is also mentioned here. Composting is suggested as a waste management and cost minimization method in this business by the author.You should definitely read this book before you start up a lawn care business and my opinion is that this book is not only about lawn care, this book provides practical guide lines on marketing and entrepreneurship too.

An absolutely top quality guide in every sense of the word!I’ve come across many start-up related books where it has been clear to me that the advice was simply recycled information that could be easily found on the internet, written by authors with no intrinsic knowledge of what they’re writing about. Fortunately, “The Lawn Care Entrepreneur” is far from the aforementioned, and I could tell early on in the read that Jamie Raines is truly competent with the lawn-care trade and also has plenty of first-hand experience.What I admire most about this book is the smooth manner in which the writing is expressed. I found the information to be very easy to understand and also far from feeling like a chore to read, while still being incredibly insightful. There’s plenty of finance related tips too that I found to be helpful, especially those regarding VAT and insurance, which leads me to believe that the author has really covered all bases with this book. I highly recommend it.

Very good and detailed information.

This book could apply to the sart up of any small business, there are one or two good ideas but for somebody who claims to have a degree in business its simle beginners stuff. No real detail about lawn care which leads me to believe the author is not as diverse a handyman as he says he is.... deks sheds concrete pathe...with a concrete mixer...... really....thats the most expensive way to create a path i know of! Shame I cant get my 8 quid back

This is a start-up guide for someone who is inexperienced with the industry. If you have already established your business, then there is minimal information that will be of use unless you launched with no experience and are struggling to put everything in place. It does provide a practical approach for anyone considering this profession.

I bought for my husband, at the beginning he was not excited after read it, he Love it, thanks

Very easy to read. Didn't talk over or under my head. I feel I have a good foundation on what to expect starting my own lawn care business.

Great book, helped my brother start his business.

Great book

A very good book if your starting your own business and explains it all from the start to the finish Amazon ebuyer

A good book if you are starting your own business. Lots of good advice. If you are expecting to hear about how to care for a lawn, this is not the book for you. Nothing at all about lawn care.
