I am trying to start a landscaping business, but don't know where to start.?

I am 17 soon to be 18, I would be doing this with several other people. I have acquired two trucks already 76 f150 and a 76 f250, my personal vehicles. I need to know what to do, if I actually need to acquire a license of any kind, what I can do with the yard waste, etc. I live in Seattle Washington, I don't know what the laws are. Thank you.

Update:

Its not suppose to be a real business, but just as many others have it would be a spring summer and fall side job, mowing lawns. You know what everyone in your family says they did when they were young and that you should do as well.
