i have found some landscaping jobs but i dont have the equipment to do them, how would i go about making money out of these jobs?


You must have the essentials. Lawnmower , leaf blower , weed wacker/ edger, and hand tools rakes shovel etc. .I the Jobs you beyond normal landscaping maintainance. Such as retaing walls rock gardens Koi/fish ponds complete shrubery replacement or installment . You can rent back hoes and other equipment just during the period of that job. If you need workers if not in your town there must be a near by town where you can find day laborors looking for work You can spot them if you see a crowd of people standing on a corner of "main" street USA .After completion tell your custermer you are a new business and if they like your work please tell their friends and colleuges. This is better than any advertizement in the paper you pay for PS again after your down not before you started. knowing you are just starting out will give them a sence of inconfidence but once they see your work You being new in the business won't matter at at

I am very interested and highly considering majoring in landscape architecture. I'm just wondering how stable of a job it is... What is the demand for landscape architects?

Thanks everyone~


Normally it is very steady. Jobs for every profession are hard to find in a recession. Changes in demand for landscape architectural services due to economic fluctuations may lag behind other professions, due to its implementation at the end of the construction process.

Spend some time at the website for the American Society of Landscape Architects.

It depends on what type of sprinkler system too.

how to find landscaping jobs?
Corporate Stress

i am a landscape architecture student and ive just started a few jobs doing small landscaping, i want to know how i can find jobs that i can do on the internet or locally thanks


Do a good job on the design. More than what you get paid. Take care of any problems that arise. Ask the customer for a written recommendation to help you get started. Even a "Thanks for the great job, signed Ann". Get in touch with landscape installation companies. Get your name out there. Word of mouth is your best friend. I know, I did it.
