| building a landscaping business: Lawn Boy Gary Paulsen, 2009-03-24 One day I was 12 years old and broke. Then Grandma gave me Grandpa's old riding lawnmower. I set out to mow some lawns. More people wanted me to mow their lawns. And more and more. . . . One client was Arnold the stockbroker, who offered to teach me about the beauty of capitalism. Supply and Demand. Diversify labor. Distribute the wealth. Wealth? I said. It's groovy, man, said Arnold. If I'd known what was coming, I might have climbed on my mower and putted all the way home to hide in my room. But the lawn business grew and grew. So did my profits, which Arnold invested in many things. And one of them was Joey Pow the prizefighter. That's when my 12th summer got really interesting. |
| building a landscaping business: Garden Revolution Larry Weaner, Thomas Christopher, 2016-05-18 AHS Book Award winner This lushly-photographed reference is an important moment in horticulture that will be embraced by anyone looking for a better, smarter way to garden. Larry Weaner is an icon in the world of ecological landscape design, and now his revolutionary approach is available to all gardeners. Garden Revolution shows how an ecological approach to planting can lead to beautiful gardens that buck much of conventional gardening’s counter-productive, time-consuming practices. Instead of picking the wrong plant and then constantly tilling, weeding, irrigating, and fertilizing, Weaner advocates for choosing plants that are adapted to the soil and climate of a specific site and letting them naturally evolve over time. Allowing the plants to find their own niches, to spread their seed around until they find the microclimate and spot that suits them best, creates a landscape that is vibrant, dynamic, and gorgeous year after year. |
| building a landscaping business: Cracking the Code to Profit Ryan J. Sciamanna, 2018-01-25 What is Cracking the Code to Profit? Cracking the Code to Profit is the complete, start to finish blueprint for building a REAL BUSINESS in the lawn care and landscaping industry. The author, Ryan Sciamanna, shares all his knowledge on how he went from a solo operator to six crews in three years. Who is the book for? Cracking the Code to Profit is for anyone thinking about starting a lawn care business to companies trying to break through the $200k to $300k gross revenue barrier. If you would like to, but are not already, making $100k per year as the owner of your lawn care company, you will benefit from reading this book. Why Ryan wrote the book: In 2016 Ryan narrowed his lawn care companies service offering down to lawn mowing and lawn treatments only. Prior to that, his company was a full-service lawn and landscape service provider offering all of the typical services including mulching, pruning, cleanups, leaf removals, hardscapes, landscape design and installation, and snow removal. He made the change in his business model to increase profit margins and reduce the amount of time required of him as the owner of the business. Naturally, he needed to find referral partners for his lawn care customers because they still had other lawn and landscape needs his company no longer performed. He contacted several other lawn and landscape business owners in his area and told them he wanted to send them referrals for the work his company no longer performed and only asked they don't 'steal' his customers for the services they were still providing. After shooting off the first several referrals, Ryan quickly realized that a lot of these companies needed help and until they improved their business operations, referring his clients to them was only making him look bad! He has since stopped referring work with the exception of a couple companies that proved they would provide his customers quality work at fair prices and actually be reliable. Ryan says, I think most lawn care business owners started their business just like I did...they enjoyed the work and were good at it, so they said, why not work for myself. In the beginning, it usually goes pretty smooth, but as they add more and more customers and eventuallyneed to hire employees, they get in over their heads. I did the same thing, but quickly educated myself on how to run an actualbusiness and not just be self-employed. He organized all of his knowledge into Cracking the Code to Profit in hopes it will save new business owners years of frustration. Ryan read a similar 'book' before he started his business that his father had bought for him online. It was actually just a word document that someone had written on starting a lawn care business and his dad printed it off for him. It cost his father $79.95 for that! Ryan still has that 'book' and even though it was overpriced, terrible quality and a lot of the information was not good, he still credits that book towards helping him get his business off the ground. What you can expect from Cracking the Code to Profit - How to Start a Lawn Care Business: The book flows in chronological order from starting your business to your exit strategy. Ryan put every detail he could recall from his own experience. You can see the book chapters in the book preview. After each chapter, action steps are included so you know exactly what you need to do. At the end of the book, you will find the resource section for continued learning and execution. You can expect to have a much better understanding of how to start and grow your lawn care business is a healthy, profitable way. Ryan's contact info is also included in the book. He would love to hear from you after you finish it! |
| building a landscaping business: A New Garden Ethic Benjamin Vogt, 2017-09-01 In a time of climate change and mass extinction, how we garden matters more than ever: “An outstanding and deeply passionate book.” —Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals Plenty of books tell home gardeners and professional landscape designers how to garden sustainably, what plants to use, and what resources to explore. Yet few examine why our urban wildlife gardens matter so much—not just for ourselves, but for the larger human and animal communities. Our landscapes push aside wildlife and in turn diminish our genetically programmed love for wildness. How can we get ourselves back into balance through gardens, to speak life's language and learn from other species? Benjamin Vogt addresses why we need a new garden ethic, and why we urgently need wildness in our daily lives—lives sequestered in buildings surrounded by monocultures of lawn and concrete that significantly harm our physical and mental health. He examines the psychological issues around climate change and mass extinction as a way to understand how we are short-circuiting our response to global crises, especially by not growing native plants in our gardens. Simply put, environmentalism is not political; it's social justice for all species marginalized today and for those facing extinction tomorrow. By thinking deeply and honestly about our built landscapes, we can create a compassionate activism that connects us more profoundly to nature and to one another. |

| building a landscaping business: P4p Mike Andes, 2021-12-17 It has never been harder to find good employees. Government handouts and programs, publicly traded behemoths with an insatiable appetite for front-line staff, and a burgeoning gig-economy has made hiring extremely hard for small business owners. The golden question is how do we attract good talent and then retain them long-term? How do I determine rates of compensation for my highest performers that are always demanding raises? How do I scale my business without having to constantly micro-manage my Team when they are in the field working? The answer is Pay-For-Performance (P4P). I know the frustration of growing a home service business and trying to motivate your workforce while balancing the budget with rising costs of doing business. P4P allowed me to grow my lawn care business past 7-figures in annual revenue and now we have dozens of locations around North America. In a sentence, P4P pays employees a percentage of the labor revenue they earn for the business. It is that simple. The rest of the P4P system ensures that quality standards are upheld and that employees don't speed through work or damage Customer property. If you are tired of babysitting employees, tired of offering low-paying, dead-end jobs, tired of seeing employees waste time, money, and their own potential, I encourage you to diligently implement P4P and see it transform your business. What's Inside This manual is your key to success, and the future to the labor industry as we know it. Inside you'll find the tools need to implement P4P successfully in your business. From bringing up the idea to pushing it beyond a simple pay structure, P4P Why Dollars Per Hour Is A Failing Formula will revolutionize how you do business.

| building a landscaping business: So You Want to Start a Nursery Tony Avent, 2003-07-11 When Avent announced that he was quitting his job to build a specialty nursery, his former horticulture professor begged his student to reconsider, telling him he couldn't possibly make a profit without doing something illegal.

Readers of this book will obtain the tools they need to make a business plan of their own. This book is a must-read for horticulture students, industry insiders, and advanced gardeners who dream of turning their passion for plants into a job they love. |
