How to Start and Run a Landscaping Business (Even with Limited Funds)
If you enjoy working outdoors, have an eye for design, and take pride in transforming outdoor spaces, starting a landscaping business could be your perfect path to self-employment. Whether you're dreaming of mowing lawns, installing patios, or designing stunning backyard makeovers, this guide will walk you through the essential steps to launching and running a successful landscaping business.
Landscaping covers a wide range of services. Start by deciding what you'll offer, especially in the beginning. Options include:
Basic lawn care: mowing, edging, trimming
Yard cleanups: seasonal leaf removal, weed control
Hardscaping: patios, walkways, retaining walls
Landscape design and installation: planting trees, shrubs, flowers
Irrigation systems
Mulching and fertilization
Start small with what you know and can handle—then expand as you gain skills, equipment, and a client base.
The tools you need depend on the services you offer. Essentials include:
Lawnmower (push or riding)
Trimmers and edgers
Leaf blowers
Shovels, rakes, and wheelbarrows
Trailer or truck to transport everything
Tip: Start with quality secondhand equipment or rent when possible to keep startup costs low.
