How to start and run a profitable, fun lawncare and landscape business
My name is Ken LaVoie, former owner of LaVoie's Landscape Mgmt. and author of this guide on starting a lawn care business. This book (and optional add-on package) are based on the knowledge and lessons I've accumulated over twenty-eight years in the lawn care and landscaping business. I will do my best to teach you how to start a profitable lawn care business or improve your existing one. My goal is to give you what you need to create a great little business and earn a respectable income with benefits. I take pride in this material: I've put my name on it, and I stand by it with a 6-month money-back guarantee. If you don't feel it's delivered enough value to you, I don't want you to pay for it.
The book alone is available in either downloadable format (Kindle, ePub & pdf), or available in actual paperback. The full package is simply the book (downloadable) combined with the extra support materials, which consist of a Quickbooks company file, my actual company operations manual, estimating forms, calculators and other excel tools, sales and client letter samples, etc. (a complete list is further below)
Key benefits of this lawn care business package:
- Credible, time-tested information from nearly three decades in the green industry: I use all these techniques in my own lawn care business and I know firsthand that they work.
- It's downloadable (unless you choose paperback version)
- Buy following the advice I lay out, you can avoid some of the most common mistakes new lawn care operators make
- It may sound like 'hype' but I'm convinced you really can save 100 times the cost of this program within a couple of years
What's the difference between just the book and the book PLUS the add-on package?
