My friend and I are starting a landscaping business next summer and we were wondering what type of equipment we would need, nothing like lawnmowers and weed wackers but other stuff, and any tips would help, thanks.

If you are just maintaining landscapes, not installing them, then mentally walk your way through a typical...and untypical yard.
Of couse mower, edger, trimmer, but what about shrubs? Are you going to be shrub butchers and just use hedge clippers? Or are you going to do some sound horticultural work with proper pruning? Then you need loppers, hand pruners, pruning saws of various sizes. Sharpening stones, oil.
Rakes, shovels......pole pruners, buckets to carry stuff to the trailer and disposal, brooms, garbage sacks, tarps.
First aid kits. Safety goggles. Sunscreen, insect repellent, wasp spray (just in case you disturb a nest).
Sprinker repair? You need all the fittings and glues...pipe and emitters, nozzels you should also carry spares for your clients so you don't loose time running to the store.
Motor oil, spark plugs, extra drive belts, extra air filters.
Fertilizer spreaders. If you get into pest control (including weed control....at least in this state) you'll need a Pesticide Applicators License, insurance, and proper spray equipment, masks, proper gloves, mixing equipment.

First things first be sure to always put the costumers needs first! From experience, I know that costumers love rubber mulch. So be sure to have that handy and available. It also comes in different colors and your costumers will love that! I find that whenever I do a lawn with rubber mulch, I get much more satisfied results.Good Luck and I hope you hit it off!

shovels
wheel barrows
trucks for hauling stuff - mulch, tools, etc
trailers
a tiller for loosening up ground
a bobcat can come in very handy
a small tractor and grader - would be wise
several snow-plows for winter business

it would be wise to invest in pool cleaning equipment as soon as you can afford to . so you can still make money all winter. and double it in the summer months
