Lawn Mowing has Officailly STOPPED, This has been my first week Since i very first started that i made 400 bucks this week SO Many cancellation due to lack of growth I have made flyers up going to do some over the weekend, I havent recieved a call from my Add in the paper for 2 weeks,
Im thinking to stop the add till end of winter, just to save 300 bucks a month.
and now unfurtunaly Looks like i may have to get a casual job for a few months,
i do still have a few gardening jobs in the works, and a few bits here and there but basically not alot happening in sydney
Yep has fallen right off but just remember go hard during summer autum and spring and holiday time during winter.yeh yeh
Yup, went out with $250 worth of jobs in the book today, came home with $100 and $10 I was owed from last time. Got some pruning, gardening etc coming up but I'm suddenly on 4-6 week mows. I still have some commercial contract stuff that is monthly but the residentials are slowing right up. Thank god the wife is getting busy in the cafe.
Gee, sounds like you Mohicans north of the border have it tough. Plenty of work lying around here still. Gotta love the Garden State.
I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather.....not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car!!!
i can vouch for the mowing stopping in sydney, compared to this time last year the growth rate on my clients lawns is down 70%. ive got clients putting off getting there lawns mowed every day.. i am also thinking of getting a part time job ie: 1 day a week just to suplement the loss of income. i havnt mowed my lawns in 4 weeks and they have only grown 3 cms. going to be a long slow winter
bns lawn & garden care
yup, holiday time, come back in spring, europe for me
It's project time, guys!
Lawns are down to four-weekly for serious customers and something longer (and more costly) for the other kind.
There is so much excellent project work around that I'm developing new calluses on my old calluses, and I'm one of those blokes that wears gloves all the time. I'm probably not going to be able to play guitar right after the next few weeks.
Just let 'em know what you can do, submit quotations (even unrequested ones) for project work that your are properly skilled to do. You can help some some, and in other places you plant the seed that there may be a better way to do stuff on their land and you can help them later. After all - fees go up when Spring starts - and let customers know it so they can have the biggest discounts for the major works now.
YMMV, etc.
Take heart.

correct..upsell to existing customers,give quotes for potential work even if they didnt ask.......did one the other day for a customer who accepted a 4k clean up....thought this places needs sprucing up and bingo they loved it.....even if its for 100 bucks or whatever work on your customer base....as jims say we do more than mowing
Winter time is a great time to earn good money on other than mowing...better hourly rates and good profit
Am I the only one? What the hec is YMMV?
I will have a guess and say yard maintanence make over?
