Not at all. Many laws only apply to companies with certain amounts of employees.

It is entirely possible to put in laws that are reasonable for larger companies to follow, but not hurt small business growth.

This is correct. My roommate worked for a landscaping company that had 5 employees. They did not have to pay overtime.

There are often overtime exceptions for seasonal work. If x% of your revenue is earned in y months you don't need to pay overtime. Landscaping likely qualifies as seasonal.
