How Much Profit On a 31K Landscaping Job?

[@ThatcherKSA]

Don't forget, insurance, accounting, financing, tax person, advertising, media, apparel, tools wearing out. Lots comes in, lots goes out.

[@kylesmiles3714]

lol thats pocket change compared to the money made by the end of the year

[@yeyoorange1039]

known as overhead

[@juniorduarte8482]

I don’t have a major business but the most profit I’ve made was 4K and it took a total of 6 days Mon-Saturday job was complete. Total job: $10,125 Materials were $2,800 Labor: 3,325 Profit was $4,000

[@jsaenz244]

I am in a different type of hustle..made 20k on a deal...it’s great to watch you make Money on your hard work!

[@ThatCasualZach]

Most I've profited was 18k in 30days. 2 months ago. Now I'm a week into breaking that record. I am a solo LLC stainless steel fabrication business. Just took a downpayment for a 29,730 job(highest sold job so far) approximately 17k in costs and 8 days of building/installation. Plus 2 smaller jobs that will bring about 8k more in profit this month. Motivated as f to gain more momentum

[@ZackScriven]

Join Goat Gang! Lol

[@christopherfigaro5656]

The most money have made on job profit on a job was $2210 from a $3500 sod installation job. Spent $940 materials and $350 labor. It was done in a 1.5 days to complete. After the job was complete we had left over sod and did another section for the customer for $700. So total profit 2760 for 2 days work.

[@DanielRuiz-oz4ts]

You beat me lol had an exact same job same amount of materials but did it in 2. My mistake? I should have had my sod delivered for $100 instead of running around 3 times to pick up and wasting time and gas. My profit was $2100.

[@BackOutside]

@@DanielRuiz-oz4ts if dealing with multiple pallets, that delivery charge is worth every penny. esp when u can have them place the pallets around the work space where needed

[@trentsmith2370]

23 years old i own a concrete company in ky. Excavated formed and poured 3,000 sq ft broom finish pool deck. And did the footing , slab, and plumbing of a pool house. Total was 34k profit was 20k 5 days total

[@user-uh1jv7ye9l]

Congrats bro I’m also 23 with a concrete company I know it can be stressful but fuck it that profit pays off

[@gradywray5391]

Most money I have made on a job was probably about $10000 but that was for a 2-3 week project. Most money I have made in a day was about $4000. $6000 sale, $1500 in materials and $500 in labor. Sometimes you get lucky haha

[@S0lidStewie]

I really appreciate the videos because seeing the transformation is entertaining and the business part it a bonus 🐐

[@hanielgarcia9166]

The most my dad has made was like $3,000 a week $400 dump fees and $2000 I love your content T!

[@waynelien958]

The company I work for own their equipment, but each job still pays the company rent and maintenance on the equipment they use (based on expected hours). That way, if we need outside rental equipment - costs are already built into the initial estimate.

[@zuma404]

After reducing all your direct costs from the project total, that would be considered your gross profit, not necessarily bottom-line profit. What about overhead costs?

[@ThatCasualZach]

Overhead costs are calculated and in the back of your mind. Your focus is on generating as much income as possible. You arent in profit until you cover your yearly overhead. So if your overhead is 15k a year you need to clear that first 15k as fast as possible. It takes 16k to make your first 1k. If you dont see your business covering that you need to make a pivot each quarter to adjust your strategy. Maybe you need to do 100 small jobs or maybe you need to focus on nailing 3 big jobs. Make well thought out pivots and you can sidestep alot of the pitfalls that people run into because they wait until the problems explode before thinking about how to pivot. Your overhead will be covered because you are thinking of thriving rather than surviving. The old saying "sales cures all" still holds some weight.

[@MogzLawnandLandscape]

You forgot to factor in how much it costs you a day just to start the trucks and get to the job. Your truck, trailer, and equipment payments as well as your liability, workers comp, and auto ins. All the equipment and trucks and what not you have it has to be somewhere around $200 to $400 a day I would imagine.

[@albertoceledon5530]

Dude it’s amazing how total destruction can turn in to amazing landscaping, this is badass work applewood 👍💪

[@paulgoesfishing9868]

Did a storm cleanup that looked very bad, a couple trees fell down. I charged $2100, walked away with $1800 after paying my guys, and it only took half a day.

Wattup T! I’m from San Jose as well and just made $3,000 profit on a $5,000 job after material and labor. Took 3 days.

[@ryankobel8241]

My highest profit margin job was a $1300 job that took 2 hours. Removed 4 yards of stump grindings and dirt, graded area and prepped client so they could seed the area. Costs: Machine rental $75 for the 2 hours (machine was used on another job later in the day) $50 in labor and $120 dump fee. Total profit $1055 (82% profit margin).

[@xrayded5037]

I have 12 projects going on at the same time. I hired more project managers! Every dollar counts. The end of the day it adds up to thousands and thousands of dollars profit!

[@TigranGertz]

Jorge Lopzzz $200 on material????

[@jorgelopzzz4375]

Tigran Gertz yup. I do jobs where I sometimes have materials left over such as (drywall, mud, screws, tape, mesh tape, plastic etc). So I take it home and store in garage untill I will use for another job. This job I did not have to purchase all the materials as I had what I needed at home. I also run equipment like boxes and bazooka to help speed up the process and those has paid for it self

Tigran, are you making sure to factor into your bids the wear and tear on your equipment and tools! Including Factoring in for repairs? What is your P&O percentage?

[@mikepeterson4746]

You failed to add office and marketing costs. There is so much other costs that people have no idea we as business owners have.

You can’t add all of those charges to that one job though. The only charge applicable to that job is the rental used in that job. All the other costs are just the costs of doing business.

I own a turf install company. On small jobs I tend to make 1200-1500 profit a day. Bigger jobs like 2,000 sq ft and up. I noticed I was only making 800-1000$ a day. Working longer and stressful hrs. I would give clients a discount on those bigger jobs. Yes we would be on the jobs for 5-8 days. However I have to pay out more for rentals for the big jobs and more labor cost. Just didn’t make sense to me, making less per day on bigger jobs. So I don’t discount anymore for bigger sq ft jobs. Since I end up having to pay more per day for rentals, dump fees and overall cost. As well the little jobs are less headaches and less back n less planning

[@TigranGertz]

Agree

[@hahah2804]

Maybe my boss is a different breed in Jewishry and money hunger. Maybe he knows how to speak to the owners a bit more. Unsure. But he sends 3 guys out instead of 10 and pockets more for himself. Probably what it is. Had a 2 day job for 3 guys. Irrigation, grass, had to backfill with dirt since the persons yard was all types of messed up. We brought a big for mini so we finished it in 2-3 days. I picked up two envelopes and both were 15k in cash. Also he does a lot of shortcuts, uses cheap material instead of what is supposed to be used at times.
