Book Synopsis

Many owners of lawn care and landscape businesses found their companies on the belief that they would make more money working for themselves than they would as employees. Dedicated to the maintenance and beautification of properties, they believe that their hard work and their expertise in softscape, hardscape, irrigation, or snow plowing will guarantee their company's success. But technical knowledge alone won't generate profit or help a company grow. In fact, the owners of lawn care and landscape companies often find themselves sacrificing their personal health and family life as they struggle to stay afloat and turn a tiny profit.

It doesn't have to be this way. By decreasing their expenses, managing their cash flow, and planning for strategic growth, these business owners can transform their companies into profit-making machines that reward them generously for their hard work, passion, and entrepreneurial spirit.
