Dale Wiley is an unknown quantity at this point
So I would assume that you will be paying workmens comp and all appropriate witholding taxes on these "helpers" ??

I assume you will have commercial contracting liability to protect your customers and their property ??

And of course you will be reporting the income and paying income taxes on it ??

And you will have all the proper license your state may require ??

And of course you current employer is OK with you doing "side" work on the weekends and not taking business from your employer ??

If you can answer yes to all the above questions then by all means go for it.

But if not, be prepared to accept what comes your way if another landscape company takes offense to what your doing and utilizes the law to make sure you are playing on a level field, and that your current employer does not take ofense and fire you.
