    BRO! I've been debating starting out and I'm literally 3 minutes into your video and already you've made me feel at ease about it. I don't know the name of every plant or piece equipment but I have a passion for it and hopefully I can make it! Thank you.

    Quick tip bro, I got my own business in lawn mowing and I'd suggest that you Whipper snip the edges first then mow the lawns so that the lawn mower can pick up the clipings

    Nice video and some very good points
    I started with second hand stuff but made sure it was good name stuff ie hayter or Honda mowers and 100% sthil stuff
    I got rid of my BG86 and got a BR600 blower that was the first thing I brought new back then
    6 years down the line and most stuff has been replaced with new gear but for any begginers 100% you can make money with second hand tools
    To anyone with goals and dreams just go for it 💚
    New subscriber bro keep up the great work

    You are spot on mate, I started on a pushbike and using the train, got some funny looks on the train with the hedgecutter! I did buy new at the start but my strimmer & hedgecutter came from Argos and the Titan multi tool from Screwfix. This allowed me to but a van & now a full kit of pro equipment, been self employed for 11 years this year, I'm not rich but comfortable, and that's the way I like it! Good luck to you chap, it's also great to hear a Brit on one of these videos!! 🇬🇧

    I plan on starting the same business. I can see that you have the basic equipment and I think that great. My questions are:
    1. How do you set a price when a customer call?
    2. Do you register your business for tax purpose? How customers pay you?
    3. Do you recommend used or brand new equipment for starting?
    4. Do you clean up after you mow?

Also do you need a license for this business as regard starting up. How do you dispose of all the weeds and hedges and cuttings. Thanks look forward to hearing from you.😊

      You don’t need a licence to start a garden business in the uk but with regards to waste you’ll need a trade licence to go to any green waste tip
      There are a few places that will allow you in but you pay massive amounts per ton
      I’m lucky as most of my clients have big gardens and compost areas or bonfire piles
