Ditto on the landscaping end of it over there. With your golf course/turf background, you should be able to specialize and tap into bigger profits with landscaping and maybe sod installs and use your lawn service as the main revenue stream. Also, look into mosquito repellent systems. Those are big in Monroe. Make a deal with a tree service to take any of their oaks they cut down. Firewood in the fall can offset a slowdown when the grass quits growing.

Good idea, thank you. My FIL is good friends with a guy here that has his own business installing "mist" repellent systems....he is not starving AT ALL.
Laying sod is something I would like to branch into also. I used to do some contract work with my superintendent for a local developer. We would prep the yards with river sand and a tractor/boxblade for sod installation along with keeping the vacant lots mowed. (This was done using the developers equipment and we were on his payroll, so we really didnt have our own "business")
We would also maintain his developments irrigation systems (setting boxes, programs, light repairs and extra head installation on the flex hose branches).
