Abstract/Contents:Discusses the merits of "seeing the challenges ahead as a potential advantage" in the lawn care industry. States that "despite noted concerns about energy prices, health care, competition, employees, material prices and government regulations, 74% of lawn care professionals expect sales to increase in 2007." Suggests that although economic indicators point to a slow down in 2007 "that doesn't mean the lawn care business will be drying up." Suggests that customer service may be the key to growth in 2007. Explains that "even though increased regulation is a concern, it is not a death knell for lawn care." Mentions that although the weather is a concern, "lawn care companies will just deal with it, as they always do."
