Hi, my name is Keith.  Along with a partner I started a lawn care business in 1992.  We started with a $159 push lawn mower and a hand blower purchased from K-Mart. (We started cheap but expanded rapidly.)

Before the end of our first year we had upgraded to commercial lawn care equipment (walkbehind lawn mowers, commercial weedeaters, commercial backpack blowers) and we started bidding large commercial accounts.  We expanded rapidly but it wasn't easy learning on our own.

After 18 years in the lawn care industry, my team and I have developed this business guidebook package because we were tired of seeing so many people fail at properly starting their own lawn care businesses.

Lawn Care isn't rocket science but getting customers, estimating jobs, purchasing the right equipment, and making more money with your own lawn care business takes skill.  We've done it first-hand and we know what it takes to operate a successful lawn care company.

Running a lawn care business allows you a lot of freedom in your life.  You work the hours you want and all the money goes into YOUR pocket.  Sure, it's hard work but you get to call your own shots and be your own boss. 

As I'm writing this, it is September 2010. Autumn is almost here and leaf raking season is upon us.  If you're looking at having a great Autumn making TONS of money doing leaf cleanup jobs there are several steps you better be taking right now to get customers, bid leaf cleanup contracts, and make sure you are pricing all your lawn care services right so you will be sure to make the most money on each lawn care job you bid.

It's NOT too late to make a great deal of money providing grass mowing, lawn care, and landscaping services for your customers for the rest of this year, too.  Some of our customers have had their grass cut all the way through November and once or twice in December most years. 

Our lawn care business guidebooks show you how to get customers and how to price your services so you'll make the best money possible for all your lawn care services.

The lawn care business package is a complete series of lawn care business guidebooks, a full suite of business software, a series of estimating calculators, and video training tutorials.  Read below for more information.
