If you are going to tend the lawn all by yourself, invest in good quality commercial lawn trailers, blowers, mowers and trucks.
You may choose to work all through the year or only in summers and that choice is yours. You can get in touch with so many clients who will require your services during winters as well as summers.

Even a little money is enough to begin with. If you are a new entrant, you may want to try for smaller residential jobs and accordingly chart out a business plan. Word of mouth publicity works best for such businesses and you will be amazed at the number of people who will contact you.
