I've worked for a landscaping comp. already but it was a very unorganized one at that. He dumped leaves and shrubs in local spots that no one knew about and when it came to landscaping, he would do anything he could to get his hand on a buck..but his work was not top notch, he would say yes to a job and then wing it. I basically want to erase what I learned from him and start over fresh.
As far as what my company will be doing will be based on what certifications I need and my partner is leary of doing anything that can bite us back besides mowing. He is afraid that with our lack of experience, in this line of work, that we can get sued or lose profits to a poorly done job....which is understandable. I do feel that we need something else though to bring in the money besides lawns. I just don't know what are standard jobs offered by landscapers or asked for by customers. If I knew in advance then I could incorporate it into my business plan and take the necessary classes to get the job done right...maybe even lower insurance costs?

Thanks for your replies and look forward to hearing from you and others soon
