Here is a great idea for someone who wants to start their own business, start a curb and driveway business. Edging is where gas-powered equipment is used to trim excess grass and dirt from sidewalks and driveways, then the debris is removed to leave a clean, well-manicured yard.

People love the way it makes their garden look, but no one really offers it as a stand-alone service. Lawn care companies will do it as a service for their own customers on request, but no one focuses on edging as a stand-alone service business.

What this means for you is that you can start your own service that people really love and you have no competition. Bordering sidewalks is not as time sensitive as a lawn mowing business where you are engaged in the business week after week from spring through fall.

Bordering can be done on your schedule, when you have time. If you are a high school student, college student, teacher, or anyone who really wants to find a unique business that is real and not a scam or get-rich-quick scheme that is just a scam, then lining the sidewalks and driveways might be what you need. Are you looking to work for yourself?

You can do part time or full time, whatever you want. The more you market your business, the more customers you will have.

The equipment is relatively inexpensive to start with and you can even line up your first customers before you even have the equipment, as it is not time sensitive like mowing is. You can line up the customers first, get your gear, and get your money back right away.

You’ll have a unique business that people will love, and you’ll help it grow by telling others how much you love the way your lawn looks after you’ve edged it. Your neighbors will take notice too and make it easy to add more customers in no time.

Get started now and have a part-time business this summer and fall.
