I'm sure glad I found this forum. This is very interesting with very creative ideas. I was recently at a trade show trying to get information on the lawncare industry. I have a horticultural background but no experience in this field of work. I was told that with a city of 80,000 population, little growth, approximately 12-15 landscape business that it is not a wise decision to try to start up a lawncare/landscape business. The chemical specialist said that I would be trying to compete for existing contracts with few new contracts being established. Does anyone have any suggestions or insight into this situation. <br>
