Hi there what is the potential income (based off your own experience) of having less than ten employees in a landscaping business - what services are more lucrative?
Thanks :)
Landscaping industry is worth 129 billion dollars

Met a guy that was paid $1milliona. Year to landscape a highscool. He had employees he would send over. Also did lots of apartments and homes. If you do it put your feet on the ground and learn how to network and bid for contracts.
Also knew a guy that was a master horticulturalist and make $200k by himself for fancy homes.
Put in tons of research and have the equipment.

According to industry statistics, average revenue per employee is approximately $135,000 whereas average pay is about $44,000.
Landscaping is by far a more lucrative service than mowing lawns.
Count on yourself the employees will make your life miserable
Lot of competition and low barriers to entry in this business. Any 17-year-old with $500 and a bit of hustle can compete against you.
The cost of labor and gas have both shot up, making the importance of geo targeting a local neighborhood more important strategically. In other words, you don’t want to be paying your crew to drive 45-min between jobs.
Seasonality is another challenge in this business, depending on where you are in the country. You can mitigate this by getting into snow removal.
Get ready to hustle and market the hell out of your services.
