Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Steve Wise, owner of Scapes in Jamestown, Ohio. Explains that "lawn care is a costly service to add but the profits are higher than mowing." Notes that "the landscape industry is more competitive...than ever before, and contractors, paricularly those from small companies, need to be sure not to let their gaurds down." Notes that Wise "requires all of his technicians to be licensed and certified through the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Also, in Ohio technicians have to be insured before they can even take the ceertification test." Concludes that "lawn care can be a very profitable business...but [one] has to follow all of the rules or [one] can run into major problems." |
