I’ m doing this for a project. I know you first need a business license and insurance.
The business is ONLY cutting grass and packing leaves(not really landscaping), and in the winter snowplowing. Would I need to obtain a degree or could I start right of the bat in this case?

No, this kind of manual labor doesn’t require any degrees or education. However, if you should try to branch out into tree trimming – that’s a discipline that requires a degree. Arborists are very vain about that.
Hi Rob,
No you don’t need a degree, however if you want to study more about running a lawn care business there is a free online class here.

Depending on your area, you might not even need a business license. But you would need insurance, especially if you want to perform services for commercial properties.
I hope this helps!
No need for a degree. You can start right away. You might want to work for another landscaping company so you can gain experience and the knowledge to start yourself.
