@curiousponderer I always assume landscapers don’t know how to do business because finding one that comes reliably every month is apparently impossible here in Southern California
@exit96 Yeah this dude has a blog he throws out from time to time. There are links in this post. Most of the posts about about “cheap” ways to start a business.
@curiousponderer We have a landscaping business. We focus on lawn care maintenance (75%) but do tree trimmings often. Many tree trimming jobs come from existing clients. You may get to a point where people want to trim a lot more than what you can do with a $40 clipper. Even a small tree, you could have a lot of tree logs. These were some work we did.
@curiousponderer Sure, just need to make sure you see the trees. Define what you can and how much you will trim, communicate to the clients clearly before you start.
@curiousponderer I think it could work fairly easily, but I'd have to think lawn mowing might be the easier one to start with if you can just find a cheap mower and snowball your profits back into the business and then add the ancillary services.
@curiousponderer Have a shirt made with your company name and either a flyer or business cards. Lots of folks have security cameras and will not answer the door for an unknown person. Prominently displaying your company and phone number on the front of your shirt may get more people to actually answer the door knock
