Business planning is paramount in importance because the lack of a business plan is the main reason for business failures according to the Small Business Administration. Business planning is important as you grow your lawn care service or landscape business depending on how large a business you become. A good business plan and proper execution of the plan makes it possible to get involved with many facets of the green industry, as a company expands business and becomes diversified offering various services. The Business Plan should include a mowing plan, planting, pruning, plan for employee training, landscape installation plan and more. Irrigation, hardscapes, even waterscapes such as pond building is part of the landscape industry, as is snow plowing, pavement maintenance and many outdoor grounds chores. Each one of these specialties within the green industry can be unique and require its own business plan. In addition to the normal or general plan, business plans should be expanded to include a plan for equipment since the industry is equipment intensive requiring a continual investment and reinvestment for operating equipment. A good business plan should outline the need for specific equipment, set a time frame for acquisition and cost/payoff objectives.
Business plans should recognize that owning and growing a lawn care landscape business consists of many duties and responsibilities of ownership and management. Business plans often include a time table for seeking and hiring crews leaders, foreman and general managers.
The business plan should also include strategies and methods for producing and preparing Job estimates because estimating is a is a big part of business growth as is planning for and maintaining a wide variety of equipment such as; mowers, snow plowing trucks, edgers, string trimmers, sprayers, hydroseeders, slit seeders, blowers and other power equipment. A business plan should also include a detailed itemized list of the things that lawn care providers, landscapers, park departments, facility managers get involved with in operating their departments, facilities and companies.
