IF I WAS GOING TO START A LANDSCAPING BUSINESS WOULD I NEED EDUCATION OR A DEGREE IN SOMETHING?

I’ m we do this for the project. I know we initial need the commercial operation permit as well as insurance.

The commercial operation is ONLY slicing weed as well as make-up leaves(not unequivocally landscaping), as well as in the winter snowplowing. Would I need to acquire the grade or could I begin right of the bat in this case?

No, this kind of manual labor doesn’t require any degrees or education. However, if you should try to branch out into tree trimming – that’s a discipline that requires a degree. Arborists are very vain about that.

Hi Rob,

No you don’t need a degree, however if you want to study more about running a lawn care business there is a free online class here.

It’s a part of the Gopher Lawn Care Business forum.

Depending on your area, you might not even need a business license. But you would need insurance, especially if you want to perform services for commercial properties.

I hope this helps!

No need for a degree. You can start right away. You might want to work for another landscaping company so you can gain experience and the knowledge to start yourself.
