Book Reviews of Start Your Own Lawn Care or Landscaping Business (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start-Up)
Book Review: Not what I was looking for...
Summary: 3 Stars
If you are a rookie to lawn care looking for a book that will help you get started, this one will help you considerably, but it is not for the experienced landscaper. I was really looking for a book to help me out in bidding for larger scale contracts and this book had little if any info on that. Bidding is your best friend in landscaping so I am always looking for new and different bidding techniques. This book was just barely OK to me, but it did have some good information on advertising. In my opinion, go with door hangers, they work pretty well.
