Business Playbook

Why this works now
Most landscaping companies struggle under the weight of large contracts. This Colorado-based business thrives by leveraging its status as a certified small business, which allows it to secure government contracts that favor local subcontractors. To generate initial revenue, the company utilized local chamber-of-commerce directory listings to connect with potential clients. A significant risk is the labor intensity of landscaping work, which can lead to high turnover and operational challenges during peak seasons.
Additional Information
The company has a team of six and is not a large corporation, allowing more personalized service and attention.
