Key Takeaways

✦

Always double-check addresses and property details before performing work to avoid costly errors and potential lawsuits.

✦

Consider offering additional services like hardscaping, snow removal, or tree services to diversify your business and meet client needs, as seen in the growth of McKe Land Management.

✦

Network with other local contractors (e.g., tree service, landscapers) to refer clients for services you don't offer, building valuable professional relationships.

✦

Strategically plan end-of-season mowing to optimize for future cleanups and maintain lawn health, avoiding excessive length that can lead to snow mold.

✦

Leverage technology like on-demand apps (Greenpal) to potentially find new clients, but be aware of their pricing models and whether they align with your business values.

✦

Focus on providing quality service and building a strong reputation; satisfied customers are your best marketing, leading to referrals even in competitive markets.

✦

Recognize the significant growth potential in the green industry; even in seemingly saturated markets, there's demand for reliable and professional lawn care services.
