Hello everyone,
I recently became unemployed and am now considering a Lawncare business, I enjoy yardwork & I am not afraid of work, so I thought this may be a good direction for me to move.
I like the thought of being outside making a living (not uncomfortable in the elements). for the last 20 years I worked weekly rotating shifts,(graves & days 7a-7p & vice versa, 3 on & 3 off) all indoors no windows. shifts became much harder on me as I got older, now 40 y.o.
Looking to work on my own, I do not need to make a mint but would like to be in the $30,000 range, I also have $10,000 to invest in this venture along with an 03" F-350 & a 14' trailer.
My wife makes very good $ so we are not dependant on me @ the moment to make ends meet,my wife is very much behind me in this, and likes the thought of me home every night & on weekends. seems like I have a very good opportunity in front of me.
I would appreciate any advice on start-up equipment,(have a JD L-120 48") but am not sure it is right for this, I am sure I would need to upgrade my trimmer and edger soon.
Am I crazy to think I can do this on my own and make this $ a year ? (really more like 7 mo ) and what else should I offer. I know it will not be easy.
thank you in advance for you advice.
J.P
