One of the things I love about the landscaping business is how decentralized it has become. With just one other person, some tools, and a pickup truck, you can start a little business that actually turns a bit of a profit. This is also great for potential customers that need things like front yard landscaping and backyard landscaping done, but do not have the time to do it themselves, and do not have the money to hire a big company to do it. That is one of the great benefits to a decentralized landscaping market is that prices tend to come down pretty dramatically when that occurs. The two workers in a pickup truck can probably undercut the bigger company by quite a bit because they typically have far lower overhead costs. Do not worry about them, either, because chances are they have built a nice steady stream of clients and are making a good little living for their services.
