You need to ensure that you are legally allowed to operate your business from your home. Some jurisdictions have restrictions on what kind of business may be home-based. For example, there may be a limit on the number of employees you can have.

Even if bylaws do permit you to operate your business from your home, you should always be considerate of your neighbors. If you have large crews showing up at your home at 7:00 a.m., starting and cleaning equipment and leaving trucks idling for long periods, you won’t win any friends in your neighborhood.

Also check out the noise bylaws in the areas where you will be working. Some places restrict the use of portable equipment, such as backpack leaf blowers, because they are often overused or used inappropriately. (See section 4.2 of chapter 12 for more information on using a backpack blower without being a nuisance.) Most jurisdictions also have rules about what time of day you can start working outside (e.g., not before 8:00 a.m. on weekends).
