How to go from LawnCare to Landscaping, Excavating and Demolition jobs

What happens here

To gain initial knowledge and familiarity with materials, visit local material suppliers. Many suppliers and manufacturers, such as those for retaining wall blocks (like Versa-lok mentioned), offer contractor training seminars. While these may not be exhaustive, they provide foundational knowledge about product usage and installation techniques. These seminars are often free, include meals, and sometimes offer giveaways.

Goal: Acquire foundational knowledge about specific materials and their installation through supplier training.
