Would You Make THIS Move for Fall Cleanups?

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, especially hearing protection, to prevent long-term health issues and maintain focus on the job.

Invest in comfortable, breathable workwear like dry-fit materials to better manage sweat and stay comfortable during long hours, enhancing productivity.

Develop a clear system for one-time or 'vacation' cuts; consider a premium charge for the inconvenience and establish clear boundaries with clients regarding extra services.

Implement a robust invoicing and payment tracking system, such as Yardbook, to ensure all services are billed and paid, even for less frequent clients.

Clearly communicate with clients about your workflow; politely explain that talking while equipment is running is difficult and establish a system for addressing additional requests.

If approached for extra services by crew members, empower your team to direct clients to you for proper negotiation and pricing, preventing unbilled work.

For new or one-off clients, consider requiring pre-payment for the first service to mitigate the risk of non-payment, especially if they are not in your regular system.
