Raising money to expand my landscape garden design business

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

I am a 42 year old Mother of 4.  I started this business after my divorce to their father. To make myself a stay at home mom because I feel its best if I am available for my children. 
We used to flip homes. I would find and design, shop and do the landscape for the remodels. 
I was able to be a stay at home mother while with him. When we divorced I went into the work field. Starting at the bottom because of gap in employment. I went into real estate as an employee. 

While working, I went to real estate school and graduated. But Covid came and shut down testing centers.  I didn't have the extra funds or time to complete schooling again. 

So I started a landscape business and started it 3 years ago. This allowed me to have a flexible schedule while still making same money than I would working in an office. 
The money invested will be used to marketing, hiring a crew, create internet , buy equipment and for rental storage. 
The reason I need an investment is because I was getting jobs that I couldn't handle because of lack of proper equipment and help.
 I also specialize in Green Landscaping. I use low chemicals; if any at all in certain areas. 

So far and from what the folks who have been in the business for decades say are that no one does what I do. I am a female and I show care to the plants. I help teach customers how to maintain. 

Usually, I am called because they don't know how to do their garden beds or maintain HOA warnings, or small commercial work. Or customers who once landscape but now are older and can't physically do it. I like to get to know my customers and customize the jobs to what I fe their needs are. I use my love and care to choose.  I love plants and especially flowers. This is my passion so I am able to make money. But I do all the work alone and that's getting to hard physically and mentally. I need a crew so I can take on more jobs at once to increase revenue. 

The funds would also be used to purchase equipment for myself and employees. Some equipment includes, higher quality organic herbicide, tractor, mowers, ledgers, and a truck. Right now I run my business from my Passat. Every day I have to unload and load it to switch from landscaper to being a mom. Its exhausting. Having the right equipment helps with longevity and speed. 

  I would like to market to commercial properties so that I can maintain steady work during the colder months. Commercial work does not stop. I would like to market to interior gardens and atriums of commercial buildings. 

I have a solid list of references. I was on Thumbtack as #1in my area, Ashton MD. I need the chance to show you how much I can do. 
I feel that even if I started doing social media because its rare for a minority female to be a full time landscaper.
This money will help me be able to hire steady help. So that I can be ahead of paychecks and have a reserves to not depend on a customer deposit after a job. I will be able to really market and still afford my life. I plan to go to Wholeseller to market, online and onsite marketing, and my personal network of contacts. 

I just need the steability. I wish I had family to support me any way. Even if it was to watch ny kids while I work a little longer and complete the project.  I don't so I am looking for an angel. 

Thank you 
I am forever grateful. 
I will come to your property and do you your landscape or a friend of yours for free. I work with my entire heart and its SHOWS ask anyone. 

**I wanted to add because I am still working on projects and growing my range of different job requests I am coming across, while waiting for my angel. 🙏 
Recently, I also work in cleaning up community garden plots. I have noticed there and around the city that many gardens are abandoned even by “claimed” gardeners. I would use the resources to volunteer to clean up and promote to get more willing folks to occupy and maintain. Utilize the space and share whatever is produced from the work put in. One garden at a time until plots are filled! We can dedicate plots for feeding the homeless and shelters. 
I have pictures and videos of my work. Upon request
