Best Business Practices for Landscapers

Best Business Practices for Landscapers was authored by Paul Jamison and published in 2021 to address the operational and administrative challenges faced by professionals in the lawn care and landscaping industry. Coming out of the context of Jamison’s established presence in the green industry media space, the book serves as a practical manual for scaling a service-based business. It aims to formalize the business side of landscaping, covering essential topics such as customer service, employee management, and financial organization.

The design of the book reflects its purpose as a hands-on resource, focusing on clear, actionable advice rather than aesthetic flourish. Jamison, drawing from his own experiences and his work as a podcaster within the industry, structured the content to be accessible for owner-operators who may be skilled in trade work but seek greater guidance on the entrepreneurial aspects of their business. It has been received as a foundational tool for industry newcomers and established contractors looking to streamline their daily operations.
