Beginner friendly: Moderate

Starting a landscape design side hustle can be moderately easy for beginners. While some basic knowledge of design principles and plants is helpful, there are resources online like YouTube tutorials and forums where beginners can learn. The setup costs can range from buying design software to investing in marketing materials and tools. With dedication and practice, beginners can start earning profits within 2 weeks by offering their services to friends, family, or through social media. I'd rate it a 3 because while some learning and effort are required, it is achievable for most individuals.
