How do I start a lawn care business?

I would like to start a lawn care business from the bottom. What equipment will I need? What will startup costs be? What are some unique options for advertising? Any advice is welcome.

1. A couple of lawnmowers, rakes, shovels, etc. You could start with as little as $1,000. Advertising on the Weather channel can be very cheap or cheaper still locate local bulletin boards and put up flyers where people can take your phone number with them.
2. Get a lawnmower, knock on the door, negotiate a price, and start cutting. If you do a great job, she will tell her neighbor. Keep a record of your a. new customers b. expenses c. income Start out simple and work your way up. You will know what to do as you go along.
