About the author

Joel LaRusic started his own successful home-based gardening and landscaping business called Dirty Deeds Landscaping nearly 20 years ago and has been passionately involved with the business ever since. While he started his company as a one-man operation, he built it into a thriving business that employed 10 people. The idea for writing this book came to LaRusic because he wanted to share the tips, tricks, and wisdom he picked up the hard way during his many years in the business. As he says, “I wanted to share the details because it’s the details that are so important in this line of work.”
