If I was going to start a landscaping business would I need education or a degree in something?

    No, this kind of manual labor doesn’t require any degrees or education. However, if you should try to branch out into tree trimming - that’s a discipline that requires a degree. Arborists are very vain about that.

    Hi Rob,

    No you don’t need a degree, however if you want to study more about running a lawn care business there is a free online class here.

    Depending on your area, you might not even need a business license. But you would need insurance, especially if you want to perform services for commercial properties.

    I hope this helps!

    No need for a degree. You can start right away. You might want to work for another landscaping company so you can gain experience and the knowledge to start yourself.
