Are you tired of being stuck inside four walls and do you have green fingers? If the answer to these questions is yes then perhaps being a running a garden service is just the business for you. Hardly any experience is necessary though it does help if you have a passion for growing plants and spending time outside.

Gardeners perform many tasks, including watering, trimming, raking, digging, planting and leaf-blowing, to keep their customers’ homes and yards looking beautiful.

In a field with such high turnover, reliable performance at a fair rate will put you ahead of most of your competition. Your customer base will take root with word of mouth. Monthly maintenance schedules with clients keeps the bookkeeping relatively simple in a home-based gardening business.
