I Started A Lawn Care Business For Less Than $1000 | Equipment You Need

Ever wanted to start a lawn care business but didn't know what equipment to buy or what budget to expect?

Hey, I'm James, and I run a $2.5 million lawn care business in Canada. Our goal is to become Canada’s largest lawn care company. Over the past 10 years, I've gone from bootstrapping my lawn care business out of a minivan to using a fleet of over 14 trucks and serving 5,000 clients.

In this video, you'll ride along with me as I scan Facebook Marketplace and our local hardware store, Home Depot, to pick out the best gear for you and your business. We'll talk about what to buy new to save you time and what to buy used to save you money. This video is packed with business nuggets and recommendations along the way.

I wish I had someone giving me this information when I started out 10 years ago, and I hope this helps you on your journey to 6 and 7 figures!

In this video:

Exploring the benefits of buying used equipment and saving money
Essential tools like rakes, lawnmowers, and trimmers
Tips for negotiating prices and what to look for when buying used
What items you should always buy new and why
Step-by-step on how to save money on gas by mixing gasoline for trimmers
And a whole lot more!
