The Professional Landscaper's Handbook: Everything You Need to Know to Start and Run Your Own Landscaping or Lawn Care Business

My father suddenly passed away, and left me with his landscape maintenance business. As someone who’s primarily focused on college, I had no idea how to continue to run his business. Sure— I spent a few summers helping him out on his route, but I took those opportunities for granted. “Get the job done as fast as you can so I can go home” was my motto.So there I was, close to 35 commercial properties and a bunch of residential homes. My dad did this for 35 years. So many times I wanted to call him and ask for his opinion. But I couldn’t.That’s where this book came in- this book was written almost like he’s talking to me- best practices, how to maintain properties— and how to understand the different products to use. I would be lost without this. So many mistakes have been avoided. How short do I cut the grass? This book has the little things that you would traditionally skip over— and today my dad would be proud.I will say that I in no way deliver a product as good as his experience— but this book brought me close. If your wanting to do better, and increase your products effectiveness, as well as decrease the things that have small impact and waste time— get this!And dad, if you ever reading this, just know every time I cut a clients grass, I think about you. And I only try to make you proud. I am sorry I took those summers for granted— spending time working next to you was the real treasure in life.
