Why Lawn Care ?
•The UK Lawnmower market alone was worth £348 million last year
•There are many different types of equipment/tools in the area and also many different processes that relate to the equipment that could be researched
• Its an area that concerns a large amount of people • I had experience in the area myself which I felt gave me a
good base to expand from
