How much does it cost to start a landscaping business?

It costs between $15,000 to $20,000 to start a landscaping business. These numbers include hiring employees; on average, a single landscaping employee makes $2,700 a month, so you probably want to factor in more for each individual you plan on hiring, depending on your location.

You also need to purchase equipment. If your initial investment does not have enough money to purchase equipment, you can choose to rent. Equipment has a large range of costs, depending on where you live. A lawnmower can be about $500, and a leaf blower is about $250. You also need supplies, a reliable, heavy-duty truck, and others.
