Customer Reviews

Good coverage of the business end

The landscaping business aspects are definitely here, the accounting, the equipment, the scheduling, even the make and model of truck to buy to pull your trailer full of equipment. I was expecting to learn something about the finer points of lawn care, mixing plants, use of mulch, how to protect plants from being eaten by animals etc. Knowing how to run a tight business is helpful but the main thing that your customer wants from you is quality work and knowledge of grasses and decorative plants. The book states internally that the concentration is on business and not horticulture but it's not obvious until you buy it and read it. Now you get to buy another book to gain the landscaping knowledge. Overall, worth the money.
