BUSINESS IDEAS
Lawn, Garden, Agriculture - Making the Outside Look Good
There is a major business opportunity that anyone can take advantage of in the spring, summer a fall with mowing lawns. It requires low investment because all you need is a lawn mower and a rake to clean up the grass clippings. Homeowners who work full time dread the prospect of coming home from work on a nice summer evening to have to face a mowing chore. You can advertise your service by setting rates for specific sizes of lawns and by placing notices and posters in places where there are large numbers of people, such as grocery stores. You can even advertise your services by placing an advertisement in each mailbox in the area you can service.
If you want to supply other needs that people have for their lawns and gardens you may probably need to take some courses or read books related to lawn care. You need to be knowledgeable about fertilizers and weed killers so that you don't accidentally destroy a beautiful lawn. Growing and planting flowers is another business opportunity that requires low investment to get started. If you have a small greenhouse, you can set flower seeds and sell the plants when they grow or start to bloom. Most of these plants sell for one or two dollars a pot. The pots you need to buy, the packages of seeds and the potting soil can well supply you with enough material for hundreds of plants for an investment or about $20.00. This is a nice profit, but it does take at least six weeks to realize any plant growth.
As you become more knowledgeable about the business you can add more features to your existing business. You may find that you need to expand your greenhouse capability or purchase another lawnmower and hire on staff to help you get all the contracting work done. These are perfect business opportunities for students who are looking for summer work and often blossom into full fledged businesses where you just sit back and take the orders for your mowing services. You will learn as you work with the flower and shrub business as you expand and you should have the knowledge about planting and caring for the plants that your customers need.
