Have businesses post their need for lawn care services, cleaning services, and parking lot cleaning.
Idea Description
Create a website and have businesses post their need for services for their business for a fee. This will allow an optimal amount of lawn care services, cleaning services, and parking lot servicing companies to bid for the job in turn creating a cheaper cost for the service.

Q1: Overall this business is fairly straight forward and I feel it can be achieved.
I'm guessing your focus is a local community and not trying to set something up regionally or nationally. If I'm wrong, let me know.
Brutally honest--I don't see this as being a viable business opportunity. There are so many companies offering local businesses the opportunity to promote their services (think Idearc & Verizon Superpages.com).
I appreciate you coming at it from a different angle, having the business post their need for a fee, and then have potential vendors bid on it. But, if I'm getting my lawn done or my house cleaned, chances are I'm asking my neighbors and friends who they use. It's much more word of mouth marketing and referrals than it is some elaborate web site which includes bidding jobs out.
If you still think the idea has merit and want to pursue it, I strongly suggest putting together a viable business plan which outlines the market, a list of target customers, the competitive landscape and a contingency plan in the event your original plan doesn't work.
Best of luck!
