May sound like a good deal but many guys low ball price to win a bid and notice how you see so many "companies" come and go in the lawn care business?
There is money to be made but it's not the guy doing budget clean-ups

I some-what understand the industry as my family owned and operated green houses for 27 years in Mass. Now we're all older
and they have been closed for years and I'm sitting behind a desk
Just saying with the figures thrown around seems like 100,000 is easy pickens in the landscaping business (I'm sure it's not.) I don't need to be explained the concept of bills I make less than six-figures and also pay house taxes, home/car insurance, car paymants, home maintenance, monthly utilities, etc... If any landscaper out there is billing at 125.00 an hour I do not feel bad about them at all.
