Why Most People NEVER Make Money in their Landscape Business

Why Most NEVER Make Money In

Their Landscape Business

Do You Feel Like

• You’re under pricing your jobs?

• You’re not making enough money?

• Your business never gets better, no matter how much time you put in?

• There is never enough money left over?

• There is no money to grow?

• You are ALWAYS just scraping by?

When you started, you were probably making $30 per hour.

Add more people and you should make more money.

Right?

But, more employees also means more expenses.

• Wages• Truck expense• Gasoline• Equipment• Supplies/materials• Truck insurance

Just to start …

Expenses like . . .

TRACKING your expenses is key.

Make sure you figure out what the cost PER HOUR is for each expense.

If you were making $30 per hour by yourself…

Adding another employee DOUBLES the

yards you can mow…

BUT, only makes you another $8 or so more per hour when you

subtract expenses.

So you add more employees . . .

… AND yet more expenses• Storage unit for equipment• Office• Office assistant• Utilities for office• Marketing • Etc.

But now you are spending YOUR time finding new clients. . .

. . . and have to hire even MORE people to make up the $30/hr you

had been earning.

Although charging $30/hour was GREAT when it was just you…

It provides too small a profit margin when expenses increase as

you expand your business

So, You MUST1. Adjust your rates as you add people

2. But, keep your rates competitive

3. Become more efficient (mow a yard well, but faster)

If you start with a good hourly rate (or get there quickly), your business should prosper.
