Gnomes Landscaping LLC | Application Preview
Gnomes Landscaping LLC is seeking government grants to expand its operations by acquiring additional trucks. Currently limited to one truck and trailer, the company has reached a plateau with around 60 clients and aims to grow further.
The business plans to enhance its online presence, leveraging its strong Google rankings and positive reviews to attract more customers. Additionally, they intend to invest in signage, which has proven effective in generating customer interactions in targeted areas. A significant milestone includes a contract with a large rental company, which is expected to make Gnomes its primary vendor for over 600 units next year, building on their current management of 128 units.
The application highlights the company's profitability during its first year and a self-sustaining marketing strategy that consistently brings in new projects. Gnomes has established a solid foothold in local apartment complexes and aims to expand further.
In terms of competition, Gnomes faces three major rivals—Grass Masters, Angelo's, and Prestige One—who collectively dominate the Hammond and Ponchatoula areas. However, Gnomes has successfully secured contracts previously held by these competitors, offering competitive pricing for similar services.
Their competitive advantage lies in their client-centric approach, which includes specialized scheduling, online payment options, and affordable rates for families. Unlike larger competitors who do not serve residential homeowners, Gnomes currently caters to about 40 residential clients and continues to grow in that segment.

Funding Usage
Our plans for the funding we seek are to buy more trucks in order to allow us to take on more work and grow. As of now we are limited to only one truck and trailer so we cannot successfully grow and have plateaued around the 60 client mark.

Business Plan
We plan to continue our online presence in order to naturally gain customers as we grow, we already ranking number one in our area as far as Google listings and reviews. We plan on spending more money on signage as we have found direct sign marketing in targeted areas help gain customer interactions. We also have gained a contract with a large rental company and next year they plan to make us their primary vendor for over 600 units. Currently we control 128 of their units. We have turned a profit in our first year of business, we have created a self running marketing strategy that is consistently feeding us projects and new customers. We have gained great footholds in the apartment complex areas and are looking to grow beyond.

Self Identified Competition
Our top 3 competitors are Grass Masters, Angelo's, and Prestige One. They all between the three of them corner a large portion of the Hammond, Ponchatoula Area, but we have won contracts that they were previously in charge of and have been able to offer the same services at more competitive prices. Our business puts all of our clients ahead of our personal needs. We offer specialized scheduling, online payments for ease of use, and low rates for the common family. None of our large competitors deal with residential homeowners but we handle nearly 40 right now and are getting more every month.
