Four things to consider before starting your landscaping business

Abstract

Landscaping is a lucrative business to enter, especially at a time of year when more UK households are beginning to think about their outdoor spaces. Starting up any new business, let alone a landscaping one, can be a costly endeavour. What are the key things that this start-up money would go towards, and what should you be considering before you set up your operation? Tools Your first concern should be the tools with which you intend to build your business. Being a landscaper, you will require a wide range of manual and powered tools to complete a wide range of tasks and projects, including some specialised pieces of equipment. Safety Equipment Just as important as the tools of your trade are the safety equipment and workwear for yourself and your employees. Safety gloves are crucial for handling sharp tools and rough materials such as branches and thorns; eyewear should be provided to protect from debris and flying objects when cutting or mowing. Work clothes not only protect from cuts and scrapes, but also provide practical utility with pockets and loops for holding tools.
