Pros:
1. Low startup costs – It’s relatively inexpensive to start your own lawn care business compared to starting other types of businesses. You can purchase basic mowing equipment for a few hundred dollars and expand as you grow.
2. Flexible hours – You can set your own hours and work when it’s convenient for you.
3. Demand – It’s a service that is always in demand, especially during the summer months when lawn maintenance takes up more of people’s time.
Cons:
1. Outdoor Work – Lawn care businesses require outdoor work, which can be grueling in the heat of summer.
2. Seasonal – There are only a few months out of the year when lawn care business owners can make the most money. This means that during other parts of the year they need to find ways to supplement their income or close up shop until the weather gets better.
3. Competition – There is a lot of competition in the lawn care industry, so it can be difficult to stand out from the crowd and attract customers.
4. Permits & Licenses – Depending on your location, you may need to obtain permits or licenses before you can operate legally. This can add time and cost to starting up your business.
