Lawn Business

Once you have decided to own you own lawn business you need to get the equipment you need. Obviously the main requirement is a lawnmower which we discussed here in ‘Choosing A Lawnmower‘ but you will need to transport the garden equipment to the job site and in most cases that requires a truck.

In the early days you can probably get away with using your car, if that is all you have available. Most modern lawnmowers have folding handles and they should fit in the trunk of your car. If you only have one of two jobs each week to start with you can manage by transporting them this way but as your lawn business develops you should have more money coming in and be able to afford a truck.

You don’t need to rush out and buy a brand new truck. Yes that would be the ideal but we are still trying to build up this business and spending a lot of money or getting a large and expensive loan for a new truck does not make a lot of sense at this stage. Yes you need a reliable vehicle and you want it to look in reasonable condition too but you must be cautious about what you spend money on until the business builds up.

Eventually, as business builds up over the years you would plan to replace the truck every few years and replace all the garden maintenance equipment every year or two but in the early stages it is important not to get tied down by large debts for a business with a small income. Build your business one step at a time and avoid the temptation to act like a large and well established business. Walk before you run and your lawn business will build steadily and successfully to give you a good income year after year.
