> the ability to expand to multiple employees/crews is there as you expand.

Finding reliable, motivated employees who will work for you and not themselves is the challenge that makes this type of business exceptionally hard to scale, from what I’ve been told.

You're well beyond $100k/yr at that point. A single person with a lawn mowing company can make $100k/yr.
How much is profit on that?
It's mostly profit. You have the upfront cost of equipment but then you're just paying for consumables like fuel. Its basically a manual labor job of converting your time and effort into money.
I think it's kind of implied that a 100k _doesn't_ scale.
