Seeking Landscaping & Lawn Care Experts for Business & Marketing Insights
We’re creating a series of in-depth guides for landscaping and lawn care business owners and are looking for experienced professionals to share actionable insights. We want specific, firsthand experiences—not general advice. Selected quotes may be featured in our articles with full attribution.
Topics include:
-Starting and running a landscaping business
-Pricing, services, and budgeting
-Marketing, lead generation, and client retention
-Hiring, operations, and scaling
Questions we’d love your answers to:
-What is the single most important step you took when starting your landscaping/lawn care business, and why?
-How do you decide which services to offer first and which to expand into later?
-What are the most unexpected costs you faced in your first year, and how did you budget for them?
-How do you determine the right pricing model for your services (hourly, flat-rate, or hybrid)?
-Which marketing tactic brought you the highest return on investment in your landscaping business?
-Can you share an example of a creative or low-cost marketing tactic that brought in measurable new business?
-What strategies do you use to retain clients and encourage repeat business?
-How do you handle pricing adjustments with existing customers without losing trust?
-When hiring your first employees or contractors, what were your top priorities and lessons learned?
-Can you share a specific example of how you scaled your landscaping business successfully?
-What advice would you give yourself if you could go back? Any mistakes you made early that you'd handle differently now?
