Parking lot striping if done correctly and priced right can make you a very good living with steady contracts and work.

Yes. That’s exactly what we found.

@@TheLandscapingLifestyle good to know! Did you notice much overspray from the sherwin Williams? Seems like the rustoleum has a decent amount of over spray and seems to be kind of weaker in color.

Thanks for watching. We still like the wackers… mainly due to price and our relationship with the sales and service Dept. We have since bought a WL60 and WL52 to add to the WL38 and 5055. We purchased a Bobcat L65 and the machine has nice cab options, but is underpowered and slow compared to the 5055. I’m a fan of Kubota mowers, but have not ran their mini loaders at all. Again, I always recommend ensuring your relationship with sales and service is #1 over the brand. Also, financing and warranty options.

Yes, this was winter 2020/2021. We only had 17” of total accumulation that season. Compare that to last year, winter 2022-2023, when we had 102”! This season is starting off exactly like 20/21 as we have 46 degrees forecasted for Dec 7th. We shall see…

Congrats and thanks for watching. Wish you the best!

Thanks for watching. What should our next video be? We want to grow the channel.

2wd. Great traction with some salt in the spreader though. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Ty! Look forward to hearing your ideas!

Gotta be winning Drewski! Thanks for commenting

Thanks for watching. We don’t have any other videos using this. We completed 5-6 small to midsized lots and made some great profit though. Now we subcontract our striping work.

@@TheLandscapingLifestylewould you sell it to me sir?

Since our business has moved into the commercial maintenance route, we rarely utilize the software anymore. Sorry I don’t have more recent insights.

@@TheLandscapingLifestyle thanks best wishes with the business

Asking the real questions

Specs state that each can sprays approximately 200’ linear feet at 4” wide. We typically spray it slower and thicker and reach 170-180’ linear feet. A standard parking stall is 8’ wide by 16’ deep on each side so 8+16+16=40 linear feet. So you can do approximately 4.25 individual parking stalls with 1 can. Keep in mind that many parking stall lines are shared so it’s best to measure total linear feet of the lot and divide by 170 to calculate total # of cans needed. Hope this helps guys! Thanks for watching.

So when you say parking stall is the 2 lines for the parking spot ? So You can do 2 parking spots 8 lines total Per can ?

We were actually lucky enough to have no days of picking up trash. Maybe because of the wind we’re blessed with in northern ND/MN. Thanks for watching!

No way… underneath base!? That’s an erosion nightmare!

@@TheLandscapingLifestyle Awesome, will do!

Thanks for watching. We are still forks landscaping LLC, but operate under the dba PRO Land | Snow. We just decided on a brand change to better represent our adjusted focus on commercial lawn and snow. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

Thanks for watching. I actually have a bid template that we use. I’d be happy to get on a call and screenshare how we use it. Email me at [email protected] if you’re interested.

The ECM went out in the WL38 at 130 hours. Left us stuck during a terrible snow storm. We haven’t had it for 5 weeks.

@@TheLandscapingLifestyle thats the only thing that keeps me away from wacker, machines are awesome but the dealer network is way behind the bigger names.

Yes. It has now been 2 months and our dealer hasn’t been able to fix it. Now the 5055 went down. They gave us two loaners and one of them went down last week. So we had 3/4 Wacker machines out of commission and had to use backup plow trucks. I hate doing things half-assed so there will most likely be a change coming by EOY 2023.

@@TheLandscapingLifestyle rightfully so, cant operate that way.

@@TheLandscapingLifestyle kubota r640 very reliable

Thanks for watching! Where are you located? Please email if you would like to discuss in detail: [email protected]

@@TheLandscapingLifestyle thank you for responding. Sent an email. 🤙🏼

Thanks for watching Jake! We have commercial clients on per season, per month, per push and per hour contracts. When we did residential, we also had residential agreements on a per clearing, per month and/or per hour basis. The reason a lot of people don’t talk numbers is because numbers are different for every business. There is no one size fits all. For example, we calculate our fixed overhead and operating costs and then identify how much guaranteed money we need each month. Then, we get seasonal or monthly-fixed-rate agreements to ensure our overhead is covered. Then, we pursue profitable per push and hourly accounts that allow us to maximize time vs money. This way when we have subcontractors or employees completing services, we know we’ll cover payroll and be able to see profit for the business. If you would like to talk in more detail, email [email protected] and we can setup a call. Hope this helps!

Thanks for watching Conor! Lots of money roof snow removal. Email me your address I can ship it to! [email protected]

How’s it going

We run an 8.5’ and a 10.5’ on the Wacker loaders. Then we have a case 621 with an HD sectional 11.5’

That is correct. We’ve realized we’re best off with at least a ton of salt in that spreader for traction. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! We’re loving the new truck this season.

That’s classic! Enjoy your winter in aisle 4 lol. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. Do you use Service Titan? Favorite capabilities?
