Flat out here too but I am having trouble convincing some of my regulars to go to a 2 week cut.

A week or two of rain would not hurt us in melbourne , many of mine are reluctant to go 2 weekly
Funny thing is I have clients who have grass as gren as and bolting to the roof and others whos lawns are on their last legs. Funny how this changes.

What started out as being the first decent spring in 4 years is slowly fading away-a bit scary seeing we are only 3/4 of the way through September. Warm winds, dry days, no precipitation=worry!!
not around Newcastle,
Good rain warm days couple were a bit warm and blowy but generally looking good.

No adverts but phone is running HOT from word of mouth, shortage of good reliable lco`s (a ton of short lived unfriendly nock it over $$ makers or cowboys) Warm weather light showers of rain purfect
Unfortunatley for us down here in Melbourne , things a looking gloomy for the summer,spring rains havent come , expected 28 c grand final day , drying winds the way they are going will dry that spring grass real quick....one month of spring gone so we need it in oct to get through summer...... looks like another of those dry seasons,12 in a row...
At the moment I'm flat out. Cant get to all my lawns. I have 10-20 per week left undone. (I only leave the one's that couldn't give a rat's) Just debating if I should sell 40-50 or keep them but dont know what is coming in summer??
I built this round up to 150 lawns which has been awsome all last summer and right through winter constant work. In 3 weeks I have picked up another 9 lawns from word of mouth and putting in some bigger quotes but still getting the work.
I got one last Thursday who is next to one of my other customers but am only in that area every 2 weeks as it is a bit out of my way but every fortnight I have 1/2 day work down there. She is happy to wait till next fornight for me to get there. they are all 1/2 to 3/4 acre blocks down there.
SH**, I think its raining in Melbourne, up to 10mm in my suburbs, we might have a spring for a few weeks
yep and raining again in Newcastle, possibly tomorrow. certainly get the phone ringing!
