Business Plan
One of the problems with lawn care is that work significantly drops off in the winter months. I plan to add more services to solve this problem. Stump grinding is one of the services that I plan to include. I also plan to include tree trimming and pressure washing in the future. I am adding these services one at a time,stump grinding being the first. I am 39 years old and in a 10 year stable marriage with 2 children. My entire family is involved in my business. I am committed to my family and providing for them. My family is my motivation for building my business.
