Temporary Slowlane Decisions

[ChillyWilly]

Hi,

I'm after a bit of advice.
I work the winter months full time as a self employed carpenter working for a couple of local builders.
I have a small lawn mowing business I started a year or so ago as I got inspired by YouTube videos (American). And I needed to start a business for my own development.
I live in the UK and I think that the market for lawn mowing services are not as large and America but I do make more money the days that I do mow compared to the days that I'm a carpenter. But this may be because as a carpenter I work for builders as a sub contractor, and when I mow, I work direct for customers.

The past year or so I've fitted 6 kitchens and I make a very nice job of them. So I'm thinking my options are,
Grow my garden maintenance business, which isn't known for being well paid here in UK.
Or
Start a Kitchen fitting business, as it's a niche, I'm good at it and I imagine it can be profitable.
Or
Learn something new or do something else. (I'm 34)

I would like to add, my family depend on me, we are at this moment pretty skint, I have 2 young kids so not much free time either! I'm aware this isn't fast lane, I just want some advice or ideas from you guys and girls as I dont know many, if any business minded people which I can ask.

I'm aware that this is just me asking for value and not providing any myself but I'm hoping that eventually I can become a valuable contributor to this forum as I learn and grow.

Kind Regards Will.
