I started my own lawn service/landscaping business years ago. I had a friend that was in the business and he got into some trouble with the law. He approached me after the fact and told me his story. He needed some $$$ to hire some decent legal counsel. He offered me $10,000+ worth of equipment for $1,500. It was too good to pass up, so I picked it up. I lasted one growing season and dumped it. Reason? Unreliable labor. EVERYONE I hired was either:
A) A Drunk
B) Into Drugs
C) Had Major Family Problems
or
D) All Of The Above.
Your woes probably have something to do with the above

Good luck
