he could expand his buisness to include exterior house cleaning, windows, driveways the outlay would be jack all all you would need is a high presure cleaner. there must be something that needs doing in winter that he can branch out into or just get another part time job.

Gutters, Mulching, Hi pressure cleaning. The rain over flows the gutters coz they are blocked, the rains makes the already slightly moss'y paths extra slippery, and mulch will make the customer gardens look a million bucks. All of these things will add to the word of mouth advertising, that will help grow his business. What works in summer as an independent landscaper/mower man doesnt work in winter! Have a plan that basically splits the year into quarters, The hotter months is basically trying to survive the heat and mow the lawns, with a bit of gardening, as things cool down, start into the mowing, mulching Gutters & Pruning, when in the wet times, pressure cleaning and mow when possible, as things start to warm up again... gutters again as the rains have filled them again, mulching as the rains washed a lot away and mowing... and so starts the cycle again... try to survive the summer heat! Wont take too much time to grow his business into something successful and profitable.
