What are some indirect competitors of a landscaping business? -

Also, what are key success factors that must be done well in order for a landscaping business to do well and succeed?

Your biggest competitors (indirect) would be Home Depot, Lowe s and local nurseries. These places often offer Do-It-Yourself classes and help potential customers cut you out. Other indirect competitors would be lawn care companies who dabble in small projects. Landscaping is like any other business, you HAVE to market ALL THE TIME! If you don t market market market and continue to market even after you have jobs you ll stagnate and die off.
