Quick question for you guys:

I want to start my own lawn care/landscaping buisness in Montreal Canada. This city is called by alot of poeple, "Little New York"... Most of the housing here is are multiple unit properties... how do you go about marketing large property owners?

Thx, Steph

@ThaRealHipHop2008 It's a proccess of bidding. Lowest bid with the best services for it typically takes it. Talk to the property manager to find out how to bid on it.

hi, im still in highschool but i want to expand the several houses i do now to a full time legit career, no college. should i buy a pickup truck and transport the equiptment in that or buy a trailer to put it in.

[stlouissux9119]

@Aboutmyself22 Truck and trailer both have their benefits. Personally i'd reccomend a truck with a good quality ramp (atleast 400 bucks). You don't have to deal with a trailer and storage is cheap... you're driveway. Only thing a pickup lacks that a trailer has is that ramp and if you put a quality one on you're in good shape. Trailers are nice and low to the ground but you have to deal with servicing another machine and bringing them around town can be a pain. Just my opinion though.

I am about to start a lawn care business. my first fiscal year is going to be a no profit year. I have a budget of 20,000 to cover the year with all equipment ready to go. I am only providing basic service for free such as mowing, triming and edging of course clean up. the first year is to eliminate all competition or do the best i can of it then with my year of free customers i'll turn them over to paying customers and expand to several 4 man crews. profits will be 250K+ on the following year.

@VaMoneyCow Never heard about an approach like that before, Let me know how it goes.

Thanks, these tips are useful! i wanna add one more: i've been using SalesVu to charge my clients and is wonderful, it's an app you first download for free from salesvu.com and then they send you an small device you need to add to ur iphone/ipad and start accepting cards, checks or cash..is that easy and it highly increased my income thanks to being able to accept any type of payment..check it!

@LuckyCharms432 It's friday the 1st day of july. ive cut 5 yards so far and ive put $100 in my pocket thus far, yes I am doing this for free. with 20K at start and almost three weeks in I have only used $40 from that amount. I am bringing in tips without asking and have gained around 20 customers to pay weekly. I only have one helper and I am able to pay him out of the tips I am making. I do talk a lot and I think i need some new walking shoes, these are getting worn!!
