Super! Super! Super!
A must-have for those just starting out. I couldn't have done it without this book. It covers everything - employees, marketing, business management, record keeping, accounting, and estimating. Lots of great tips on customer service. Check out his website
An excellent resource for the do-it-yourself entrepenuer!
I have found Owen's book to be a delightfully well written resource for starting a home-based landscaping business. The real life, experienced based business advice he shares is worth much more than the purchase price of his book. I have other resource books at hand, but Owen's book has become my favorite.
A tad bit outdated for me.. I need more information
Great book on how to start up a landscaping business but I need more information directed at lawn maintenance...
However I pass it on to a friend who loved it and is making $5000 a month as a landscape subcontractor after 60 days in business... sure beats his old salary of $1800 a month. Now he works outside and great hours and no corporate bull jive!!
Easy to read and easy to follow but you will need to seek more books on WHAT TO DO and HOW TO DO THE PROJECTS!!
