Startup cost: $500 - $5k

The low-end estimate covers basic tools like a lawnmower, trimmer, and essential hand tools, along with minimal advertising on local platforms like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. The high-end estimate includes professional-grade equipment, a trailer for transport, liability insurance, a website, and targeted online advertising. Essential costs include basic tools and some form of advertising, while optional costs involve advanced equipment and professional marketing. Hidden costs might include maintenance, fuel, and insurance. Online communities often suggest starting costs are low, but expenses can increase as the business grows. For someone serious, budgeting for quality equipment and marketing is advised.
