Head Start Program
Project: Shamrock Lawn Care

Zacc, the owner / operator of Shamrock Lawn Care is just starting out his business. He is 19 years old and a freshman at metro state college in denver, colorado. We asked him to tell us a little about his company and he said "Shamrock Lawn Care is a brand new company, and I hope to expand fairly fast. By the end of this season I hope to have over twenty yearly contracts and hopefully double every year till I get about 100 contracts."

Thanks to the help of a few forum members he is getting started with a free logo design, which you can see above, website and marketing material design. As he moves forward with his company we will keep you posted on his updates.

We hope to help him learn about business and grow. Feel free to jump in and offer your wisdom or learn from his experiences.

He registered www.ShamrockLawns.com it's not up yet but that is where his site will be.

I am sure he will be expanding his business with those free offers getting as many undesirable cheapskates as he can handle.

And in most states it is illegal to advertise "weed management" without a actual pesticide license and the required state mandated "pollution" insurance endorsement.

Hi highlander316,

That is not his actual equipment. They are there to represent what he has so that others following along can get an idea of what he is using.
