New Company??

Question

I currently run a landscape desgn company. I live in northern SC, which is having a very severe drought. Most average people's lawns are dead, and the ones who water their lawns are no longer allowed due to restrictions. Things are so slow I had to let go 3 people. I know no one here knows me or my skills, but I was thinking of maybe going into something different just cant figure out what. I live in a town that is 90% elder people. Im a as my employees put it a "jill of all trades" I know a little about alot but I know to start something new I will need to know alot about one thing, any ideas so I can start researching. I want to get something going by next fall.

Answer 1

What about branching out into deck designs, patios, rock gardens, building kids tree houses to match the home (for grandkids ;-)) ...or dog houses, unique fences  that sort of thing, it's still landscape related so you can maintain your current client base.

Answer 2

If the elderly community is so big, then if you choose something aimed at those people, your onto a winner. Hows about home delivery of food, home care business, anything for care of these people
