Product Description
From Booklist
This is first in a series on how to start and run specific small businesses. Rossi takes the would-be horticultural entrepreneur from such basics as building up an asset, getting customers, collecting money, and securing a license to making a capital investment, marketing, keeping books, advertising, and customer relations. In addition, he provides information on such horticultural concerns as soil, fertilization, and mowing; lawn installation, renovation, and disorders; tools; and pest control; and he covers such topics as estimating and bidding on jobs. The publisher dutifully cautions readers requiring legal or other expert assistance to seek the services of appropriate competent professionals, but otherwise this is an excellent and efficient general guide for beginners. George Cohen

Got me started in the landscape maintenance business., Jan 12 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lawn Care & Gardening: A Down-To-Earth Guide to the Business (Paperback)
I first read Kevin Rossi's book at my local library when I was considering starting my own landscape maintenance business. I ended up buying it and have referred to it many times. While it is not a technical manual, it does have lots of useful information from bidding,to fertilizing,to pruning. If you are thinking of starting this kind of business, add this book to your library!

This second edition of Lawn Care & Gardening expands and updates the first 1994 publication, providing new tips reflecting changes in technology and consumer attitudes, and covering everything from mowing heights for different types of grasses to fertilizing, pest control choices, tools and equipment and record-keeping for a lawn care business.
