How to Start a Lawn Care or Landscaping Business

When you think back to the long, lazy summers of your youth, chances are some time was spent trudging along behind a lawnmower, pushing with all your might and sweating profusely, just so you could make a few bucks to buy some baseball cards or a really cool bike. You may have occasionally mowed down a few pansies or zebra-striped a lawn, but you sure were proud when the homeowner came to the door, surveyed your handiwork, and forked over the agreed-upon fee.

What's Inside

Mowing lawns or landscaping residential or commercial properties for a living will give you that same sense of pride-while earning you some pretty serious cash ET Lawn Care LLC.

The Pros

There are many advantages to running home-based lawn care or landscaping service. You're master of your own destiny, and you can devote as much or as little time to the business as you want. You have a short commute to work if you're based in your own community. You can work at your own pace and at virtually any time during regular daylight hours. You also can enjoy the fresh air, get a good cardiovascular workout, and bulk up your muscles.


The price of all this freedom and body contouring is relatively low-so low, in fact, that many new lawn service owners and landscapers use their personal credit cards or small personal loans to fund their new businesses. Once you invest in the tools and toys you need to manicure lawns or install landscaping professionally, you're generally set for years. You don't need much in the way of office equipment, either, and you can set your office up in a corner of the den or a spare bedroom rather than laying out extra cash for a commercial space.

Reality Check

This all sounds pretty appealing, doesn't it? But of course, every Garden of Eden has a serpent, and lawn care and landscaping businesses have quite a few of their own coiled up and waiting to strike. To begin, you have to be a lot more adept at mowing, trimming and pruning than the average person. That means you'll have to invest some time in learning gardening basics and techniques. You'll have to be a disciplined self-starter who can ignore the call of a glorious spring day and diligently service your clients rather than heading for the lake or golf course. You have to be physically fit and able to handle the rigors of the job, which can include lifting heavy equipment off and onto trailers, and wielding bulky handheld implements for hours at a time. You'll be handling potentially dangerous machinery and hazardous chemicals. And you'll have to be a very savvy business manager who can administer cash flow, invent advertising and marketing campaigns, and implement a survival plan that will take you through the lean winter months.

Drake Rocks Hoodie From Kylie Jenner's High School And Lipstick Print Hat - The Romance Rumors Are Back!

It looks like the Kylie Jenner and Drake romance rumors are back in the spotlight! The reason for that is the rapper wearing a sweatshirt from the makeup mogul’s former high school!

It makes sense that people would assume he wore the piece of clothing to pay tribute to the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star since it’s hard to find any other reason for him to rep a high school from Los Angeles while in Toronto!

At the time, Drake was in attendee at DaBaby‘s Toronto show and the hoodie that he had on was repping Sierra Canyon High School, which is not where he graduated from, but where Kylie did!

Well, she actually got her diploma after a homeschool program but before that, she did attend Sierra Canyon for several years alongside her older sister, Kendall Jenner. Drake Rocks Hoodie From Kylie Jenner's High School And Lipstick Print Hat - The Romance Rumors Are Back!

And that was not the only thing that reminded people of Kylie in his outfit.

Drake was also wearing a hat that had a lipstick print on it, something that’s definitely reminiscent of the lip kit mogul.

But that is not the only theory regarding Drake’s outfit.

Some think it was a nod to his close pal, LeBron James’ son, LeBron James Jr. since he is part of the Sierra Canyon basketball team.

It’s safe to say, however, that at the end of the day, romance speculations are much more interesting to the public.

This comes after one source previously shared with HollywoodLife that ‘Kylie is enjoying Drake’s company, she thinks he’s funny and attractive but that’s where it stops for the moment.’

Similarly, ‘Drake is a flirt and he has a very good time with Kylie when they’re around one another but he is not going to be starting anything with Kylie romantically, all they really are is friends. They will for sure hang out again in the future but for now, neither of them are taking it to another level.’

PAYDAY 2 On Nintendo Switch Will Likely Receive No Further Updates From OverKill

PAYDAY 2 has been a source of contention since shortly after its release on Steam in 2013.  In late 2015, the game had hundreds of dollars in DLC’s with absolutely zero free content that the OVERKILL developers promised its fans on start-up, an apparent ploy for a consumer base that backlashed when they added microtransactions on top of the exorbitantly priced DLC. PAYDAY 2 On Nintendo Switch Will Likely Receive No Further Updates From OverKill.

Massive weapons that made the game viable were trapped behind RNG microtransactions behind DLC, leaving many players simply underpowered as developers OVERKILL went from promising that the game would never have microtransactions, to microtransactions being the primary way to progress.

One reviewer said it best: ‘it’s like CSGO but pay to win’.

With the Steam market looking tapped out, OVERKILL then went to bring their title to PlayStation and Xbox, double-tapping current-gen and next-gen in both consoles along with the Nintendo Switch.  The title being brought over to consoles worked well enough, the DLC and microtransaction drama faded from the title, and everything looked to be going well enough for the developers.

This gives us the context needed to discuss what’s currently occurring for PAYDAY 2, with OVERKILL’s newest development blog announcement.

Ultimately, the overview of everything is that there is now going to be a disparity between PC versions, Xbox and PlayStation versions, and the Nintendo Switch version.  This is a capitulation that OVERKILL ultimately didn’t want to make, yet apparently the process of pushing four various patches through each console’s own verification checks needing to occur was simply too much for the developer to manage.

They preface their message by admitting that they never delivered what they should have to any console, although they all sold well enough.

Much content is going to be excluded from PS4 and Xbox One; the safe house feature, the remaining heists that they don’t have yet, upcoming heists, and the Breaking News Campaign.  If there are masks or weapons as a part of those, OVERKILL will attempt to get those to consoles (doubly if they are microtransactions).

If you’re a Nintendo Switch owner, however, it bodes ever more poorly for you.  The Nintendo Switch version of PAYDAY 2 has been announced to receive no further updates.  This is a ‘very hard decision’ that OVERKILL made, despite further promises to the contrary.

Reddit and Twitter are alight with people wondering why they aren’t receiving the promised support, four years after OVERKILL publically broke all of their promises to PC fans.

The real heist was apparently the game itself, all along.

Team Solo Mid Has Finally Unveiled The Complete Roster For The League Championship Series 2020

Team Solo Mid has held its roster announcement a secret for quite some time. A couple of days ago, they finally announced their roster going into the next season.

The notable changes are in the jungle and bottom lane, the solo lanes are unchanged. Team Solo Mid Has Finally Unveiled The Complete Roster For The League Championship Series 2020.

Top Lane: Sergen ‘BrokenBlade’ Çelik

Jungle: Joshua ‘Dardoch’ Hartnett

Mid Lane: Søren ‘Bjergsen’ Bjerg

AD Carry: Kasper ‘Kobbe’ Kobberup

Support: Vincent ‘Biofrost’ Wang

Academy Roster:

Top Lane: Niship ‘Dhokla’ Doshi

Jungle: Mingyi ‘Spica’ Lu

Mid Lane: Jackson ‘Evolved’ Dohan

AD Carry: Lawrence ‘Lost’ Sze Yuy Hui

Support: Erik ‘Treatz’ Wessén

Both the LCS and Academy team went significant changes. In the main roster, veterans Bjergsen and BrokenBlade will be the core at the team, with Dardoch, Kobbe, and Biofrost joining them to lead the organization to victory in the upcoming season.

The organization had a poor this year, failing to qualify for the World Championship. Even though the team finished 3rd in LCS Spring 2019 and 4th in LCS Summer 2019 and had multiple shots at qualifying via the Playoffs or the Regional Gauntlet, they’ve failed.

As a result, changes were expected both within the roster and the coaching staff. The biggest issue last season happened during the Summer Season; towards the end of the season, the team started using three junglers: Akaadian, Grig, and Spica. This swap towards the end reflected poorly on their performance as a team.

The resulting swap between junglers was a bad sign for the fans. If the team could not decide on a jungler, then most likely, they’d end up buying another one after the season. This situation has happened, and the team acquired Dardoch from Optic Academy.


Dardoch was known to be hard to work with, but has played one season in Academy and proved that he could fit with any team and be the best juggler when needed. While Dardoch is tested and Biofrost was a TSM member before, there is a small question regarding Kobbe. The last time TSM imported an ADC was a couple of years ago when they imported the G2 bot lane of Zven & Mithy. Their success was limited, and for this season, TSM parted ways with Zven. Will Kobbe follow in Zven’s shoes and underperform compared to the European League or will he maintain his high skill level and ceiling and prove to the North American League that he is one of the best ADCs?

Alisha Wainwright Is Still Getting Attacked On Twitter Following Justin Timberlake Outing

Earlier this week, Justin Timberlake sparked headlines when he was photographed holding hands with Alisha Wainwright, his co-star in the new movie they’re working on, Palmer. The pair was spotted hanging out together by the paparazzi, and people noticed right away that Wainwright didn’t look like his wife at all.

As it was previously reported, the actress and pop-star were seen walking out of a New Orleans bar in Louisiana during the filming of their upcoming movie. The cast and crew enjoyed a night out on the town and had a few drinks.

When the photos hit the mainstream press, Justin Timberlake, apparently, was overwhelmed with the backlash that he had to respond in a statement, which included an apology to his wife, Jessica Biel. Justin said in his statement that nothing happened between himself and Wainwright. He described it as a temporary “lapse in judgment.”

In a video of the incident, Justin Timberlake reportedly appeared quite intoxicated. Even though many people are supposedly starting to forgive Mr. Timberlake already, other women on social media are less forgiving for Alisha’s behavior.

One such tweet is an example of the kind of vitriol the Hollywood actress has since received.Khloe Kardashian Gets Slammed For Calling Nearly Two-Year-Old Daughter True Thompson Her Best Friend

While the reason for her sudden bout of attention is dubious, at best, there’s no question the internet is suddenly filled with interest in Alisha Wainwright. Even the Cosmopolitan began gathering information and writing extensive articles about the star’s background.

According to Cosmopolitan, Wainwright was born in the summer of 1989 in Florida. Initially, before getting into performing, the actress was into science rather than acting. The star moved to Panama after studying botany for the Smithsonian.

During a conversation with W Magazine, Alisha described the difficulties in the scientific field, including the fact departments are often competing for the same pot of money for their research. The star said she couldn’t find the money to focus on her “anthropological-botanical focus.”

Consequently, she had to make her studies far broader, and frankly, she just wasn’t interested in doing so. Additionally, the actress shared that her guiding light in the world was her mother.
