How to Start a Grass Painting Business

About the opportunity / Having your own grass painting business

It seems that grass painting is really taking off around the U.S. though there remains several markets that are not fully saturated with lawn painting businesses which can be a very lucrative business.

When considering a grass painting business, it is important to note that it is one of few businesses that are relatively inexpensive to begin, and with the current status of today's real estate market, the probability of being of successful at your own lawn painting business is quite high. This is in many ways due to the number of foreclosures, homes for sale, and the longer period of time that new listings remain on today's real estate market prior to being sold. Depending on where you are, the prospects for creating and achieving success with grass painting can exceed any expectations you may have previously had when considering owning your own business and working for yourself.

What it takes to start your own lawn painting business

The lawn painting industry is not new. Green grass painting has been around for quite some time, and you are actually more familiar with it than you may realize. If you've ever watched a professional sports game or golfed, you have already appreciated the effects of green grass paint. Up until recently, those were the only places you might see grass painted green; however, these days, green grass paint is making its way onto residential lawns across the country as many homeowners and banks who now hold title to foreclosed property realize the value of grass paint.

Important things to consider

You need to evaluate your local market to determine if a lawn painting business if right for your area. While the business of grass painting is picking up around most areas of the country, it is actually not right for every area of the country. Then, there are other areas of the country where homeowners will wish to have the service one time (perhaps while the property is on the market). Other areas will require the service only during certain seasons, and those customers will be a source of continued and future business.

Also consider if being self-employed and an owner of a business is a good fit for you. Creating and being successful at your own business requires a great deal of self-motivation, dedication, and belief in yourself - even when things are difficult or challenging. Some people who have been employed full-time and receiving a paycheck on a regular basis fear going into business for themselves or have financial concerns about not receiving that regular paycheck every two weeks, but in this economy, if we've learned nothing at all, we have all learned that no job is secure. Perhaps the only security one can ever attain is when one becomes self-reliant. Also, if you are uncomfortable with new people or the outdoors, starting a green grass painting business may not be for you as you will need to be willing to meet new people while marketing so that you can grow your business, and naturally, you will be outdoors when spraying lawns green.

If you think you have what it takes to be self-employed and to own your own business, I recommend trying your hand at owning a lawn painting business because of the low overhead, demand for green grass painting, and the service fees you can charge.
