There's very little learning curve—like how to use the equipment, how to stripe a lawn, or how to sharpen your mower blades, whether to grass-cycle or bag the grass clippings to the nearest landfills, and so on. Overall, owning a lawn care business is a good self-employment opportunity with lots of sunny prospects.

Provide your lawn with essential nutrients like nitrogen, iron, phosphorus, and potassium to promote vigorous growth. Opt for a slow-release or organic fertilizer for best results. With lawn care in NJ, where winters are very cold, fertilizing in the Fall protects cool-season grasses that go dormant in the winter.
