👍 Worth It
Seven editions and a glowing HortIdeas Magazine review tell a consistent story: Owen Dell's experience-based advice, ready-to-use forms, and no-nonsense tone deliver genuine value to anyone seriously considering a landscaping business. The US-centric regulatory content is a real limitation, but for the target reader this is a rare practical guide from someone who has actually done the work.
