7 phases from zero to booked

This isn't a vague "tips and tricks" PDF. It's a real launch roadmap with specific steps, real prices, and actual timelines.

1

Decide & Plan

Week 1

Choose your service mix โ€” mowing, mulching, cleanups, or full maintenance. Research target neighborhoods and set your first-year revenue goal.

2

Make It Legal

Week 1โ€“2

LLC formation, EIN, general liability + equipment insurance, business license, and pesticide applicator licensing if you'll offer treatments.

3

Get Your Equipment

Week 2โ€“3

Mower, string trimmer, edger, blower, trailer, and hand tools โ€” complete list with brand names and prices. Essential starter kit: ~$3,200.

4

Build Your Service Menu

Week 2โ€“3

Seasonal service calendar, per-sqft and flat-rate pricing models, and how to bundle add-ons (mulching, aeration, leaf removal) for higher ticket averages.

5

Plan Your Routes

Week 3โ€“4

Map your service area, cluster clients by neighborhood to slash drive time, and build your first 10-stop weekly route for maximum efficiency.

6

Get Found

Week 4โ€“6

Google Business Profile setup, yard signs in completed yards, door hangers, Nextdoor strategy, and how to get your first 5-star reviews fast.

7

Grow & Systematize

Month 2โ€“6

Add seasonal upsells, land recurring maintenance contracts, introduce annual prepay discounts, and build your hiring roadmap for crew expansion.

Most successful landscaping businesses add gutter cleaning within their first year. You already have the ladders, the crews, and the client relationships โ€” gutters are a natural seasonal upsell. Your HomePro membership includes systems for both.
