Lawn Care Business

Most people would like to have the best looking lawn that is the envy of all the neighbours. But that would mean many hours of back breaking, manual hard labour. Hardly the best choice for chill time well spent for the majority of us. Enter the lawn care businesses to save the day (or lawn for that matter.)

You just need to look at the types of housing in the neighborhood and across the country to appreciate why there are so many companies providing this service and the bulk of them are thriving. As in a hair salon where the patrons returns repeatedly to have their tresses trimmed, lawn care companies enjoys recurring businesses too, thanks to overgrown lawns and hedges that necessitates a snip. Although in the current economic situation what with unemployment, foreclosures and evictions having certainly impacted the number of households engaging their services, it is still a viable business in the long run if one can survive the current glut.

Looking from a different angle, it could also be a good opportunity to get into this evergreen industry that is worth $11.6 billion in 2003 (Harris interactive survey)according to a survey done (it's definitely worth much more now.) Another factor which could contribute to the boom of this industry once the green shoots of the economy starts germinating and grow is the increasing concern of the adverse effects of global warming by world governments including the Obama administration. With this renewed focus and urgency in countering the growth in greenhouse gases, the options available to most countries are limited. The most economically viable choice is probably to plant more greenery where ever space allows. All these means lawn care companies are well positioned to reap the benefits of this new phenomenon.
