How to Crush it In Lawn Care & Landscaping Business☆ A Few Helpful Tips From A Pro // Brian's Lawn

[@keith-kalfas]

Do you mow lawn?🏡 How far do you drive between accounts? 📋Please comment below. 👇👇👇👇👇👇

[@darrellthompson6252]

At first I made a route for that particular day. Most were 10 min apart. Now I'm establishing route density I've let go the non profitable yards. Just this coming season I sign contract on a big appartment complex where we will work 2 days. So I cut 15 yards to free up that time with and make probably 10 times the money . So this and route density I can offer more services to my customers and look to make 30k more this yr than last yr. . Like yall said you have to prune your business to make bloom more profit. Thanks and God bless us all.

[@CraigsCuts]

I try not to add any new lawns that are more than 8 minutes away I’ve been putting 3-4 hundred hours a season on my mowers Good points Brian!

[@joshuaarnold7864]

Yeah I have the neighborhood I personally live in and I have more accounts mowing then any other company in my neighborhood

These two men together are worth watching, I love and watch both Chanel's. I live on an island just off Auckland in New Zealand and I have about a 5 km radius and this is how it works for me. Monday will the 5 km area, Tuesday will be the 4 kilometre area and then Wednesday will be the 3 km area and so on. Thanks to these videos they have taught me so much. Keen then up please.

Man I am approaching my second year in lawn care and honestly I grab everything that comes my way so I can get my business out there. This video you guys provided makes a world of sense and you guys are shortening my learning curve by sharing your experiences. "Dont walk over dollars to pick up dimes" Thanks

[@hairstonpropertymanagement2937]

I live in a rural area where we have to drive 15-20 miles to get any really good accounts. I just researched it and there are about 180 people/sq. mile where I live. Whereas the town I'm targeting has over 1400 people/sq. mile. One of my associates who has a very successful lawncare/landscaping business has even told me that the majority of his work is that distance away as well. My goal is to gain at least 100 accounts in that town because of it's staggering growth. I don't mind the drive as long as the work is there. Cost of living is wayyyyyyyy cheaper where we live. If my area had that type of growth, I wouldn't even think about going that distance!! Awesome information and video fellas!!! Yall should be dubbed THE GREEN INDUSTRY AVENGERS!!!!😂😂

My Dad and I run a landscape and snow business in Markham ON Canada. He's been in the business 25 years and has done okay. I've come on as a co owner 3 years ago. I'm young (23) and hungry for success. These videos are a great help. I'm establishing new route boundaries as I type this. I'll also be picking up a stop watch! Thanks guys

[@alamedalandscapeinc.5649]

We cut only once a week and the rest is for landscaping. Adding a monthly maintenance program to our services this year. Brought it up to all our lawn clients and they all want it.

[@sheerlawnmaintenance7872]

Alameda Landscape Inc. what do you include in your maintenance program

[@alamedalandscapeinc.5649]

@@sheerlawnmaintenance7872 weeding plant beds, trimming/prunning as necessary. Anything out of the ordinary scope should be brought to the homeowner's attention and its a chance at upselling . We have clients with areas that are too much for them to control and thats where we come in. I'll have to make some videos on that this upcoming season. Some have us come in once a season to weed the plant beds and those same clients are the ones i brought up the idea of a monthly maintenance program. Well, they loved the idea. I almost forgot, (gotta make the kalfas face for this one) ...we use treflan after the first weeding of the season and spray roundup after each weeding there after. Do it right and your 3rd, 4th visit to the property will be a breeze. (End the kalfas face)

[@darylrussell7959]

Yes me too! Great way to increase profits without getting new clients.

[@keith-kalfas]

Thanks for the positive words dude. Happy new year!

[@schafflandscaping]

Just listened to this and as I was listening I took all my clients I mow and calculated distance from my property. Out of about 80 mowing customers. 60% are under 5 miles or less and the other 40% are over, as far as 13 miles away. Not the worst radius but you do question the driving aspect of things. I always like to think if I drive I need to be out of the truck in like 5 minutes between lawns. The ones that are farther than 5 miles there is a section of 8 in the same street so that helps justifying the distance. Such a catch 22 sometimes. As a business owner you want everything you can get but sometimes saying no and sticking to limits is better in the long run. I think this year I will give one of my guys a bunch of these lawns and let him do them weekly and free up my time for more profit making sides jobs. Interesting topic. Good luck in 2019!

[@billhull6842]

I work for myself No employees. I have between 40-50 customers that I mow grass for. I stay primarily to only my town. Kenosha, WI But I do have accounts in Illinois and I spend 1 day a week in Illinois. When I go to Illinois I travel in a circle for my travel. For the accounts in my town I go by regions. I mow the yards in 1 area of town then the next day I will do a different section of town. I learned the hard way about route density my first year. But now I am reconsidering some of my accounts.

[@DJslushy92]

One more thing Keith, you are bringing so much value for my small business. I have already bought your book on auditable and listen to that on a regular basis. Like you said in a previous video. I'd be a pleasure to shake your hand one day.

[@JuanHerrera-co3wc]

Hahah Brian is funny bro he's so quiet in beginning in the background but he's so anxious to talk lol

[@KenMrKLC]

Also on topic of video.... I started business as K&S (Ken and Sons) landscape back in 1999... I was spread out over 4 towns about a 25 mile square with the center being Otis Air National Guard Base when you could cut through to save time driving around (imagine a pond in the middle of your route and you could use a boat) then they closed it... Business was decent but not excelling... Personal family health issue made me restructure life and I went to work manage another company for about 2 years (2010-2011) then went back into business as KLC with some density knowledge from management of other lawn co and direct marketing tips. I have managed now to do almost same gross, more than double net with half the equipment and bodies. The last 2 years have been great and I now 99.5% of the time stay in my own town. A town in which if there are less than 50 other landscape businesses I would be shocked. That drive time is a business killer in so many forms: #1 risk of accident, #2 employee gets lazy, #3 fuel, #4 hourly wages for employee ticking, #5 losing valuable daylight hours spending instead of making, #6 errors ... give someone 15 min to take their mind off work its destructive to business... ex they start thinking about after work, mentally trying to prepare for shortcuts for rest of day, it takes them at least a couple min to get back into full productive mode. My biggest challenge in business is finding key employees. Business is predictable, level of quality 100% when I am on the job. As soon as I am not its damaging in some way. In 18 years I have had only 2 employees that could do well. I kept them for a couple years and treated them well. Both went into business on their own same as I did when I first worked landscaping.

[@raulgutierrez5862]

I love watching you guys. The information, the insights and your confidence can only inspire many to go ahead and start their own thing. Great work fellas!

[@mikecampbell2675]

Hi guys, I am in southern Indiana. We service our county which has 4 main towns/cities. We basically cover one or two of them a day. We are 4 years in and have been growing each year. We could get into Evansville for a larger market but that puts us 30-40 minutes away from our shop.

[@kevincloonan9787]

What I found to be the #1 problem with lawn care is that it's an entry level business and the $ amount for a lawn never increases along with cost inflation. I started my business in 1993 and we were getting the same amount of $ per lawn back then that we do today !! The cost of trucks,mowers,trimmers are skyrocketing. We still mow but we only do full maintenance commercial properties.

[@Grassology-vs1hn]

Man this video made my day seeing both of you share, thanks 👍🏾This was my first year in lawn care PT.My biggest profits was from mulching, pruning,trimming and cleanups so this year my goal is to get more of these profitable jobs.85% of our lawns is in my subdivision. If I can get 100% of our lawns in my sub that would be awesome. Brian you said it patience is key. I learned so much from both of you guys thanks you so much.In the next 3 years I want to build a tight route density.👍🏾🙏

[@JohnM...]

I hate my job. I've decided to start a gardening business. Already making preparations. I'm 49, fit, and I'm so pumped to do something I enjoy. You're videos have given me so much inspiration. Thank you and continue to be abundant!

[@logdon17]

Reason Brian is killing it, most guys are worried about mowers or trucks, he is focused on a stop watch. Sounds silly but is super smart. I work in consulting and a tool we have used to streamline industries is a time study, really cuts through the BS and gets to the profit.

[@simple-steve]

Id like to know how his helpers deal with a boss that's probably always on their ass to keep moving. Come on guys, stop watch is ticking!

[@SwordSaiyan4life]

Brian is a good man! Love doing business with him.

[@Currency49495]

I service an area 30 minutes away from where I live. Town of around 60k people. Takes me an hour to load up and get to first yard. Most properties are in my old neighborhood, which was walking distance until I moved further away. I cut one day a week, part time, and still maintain full time employment and a family of six. The plan is to work on going full time later on.

[@tylerhern9060]

I agree. Route density is crazy important. I have my guys track there mowing time at each property. When you leave the car & get back in it to leave. The ultimate equation we think for lawn care is. Total time=drive time + machine time. I live by that equation. We try to keep a 12 MI radius but occasionally will go to 15. Here in grand rapids MI

[@adammiltongreen5990]

looks like brains got it together, imo a well run solo op. can make just as much as a a big operation, I mean the way I look at it is your goal shouldn't be to have the biggest company with tons of flashy equipment it should be to profit as much as possible with the least amount of effort possible.

I'm getting back into the business this year and will be giving most of my mowing estimates over the phone without going to the property. I also have "starting at" prices on my website for the price shoppers. After doing this work for many years, you can't be out wasting your time doing mowing bids when you can just look up their property online and give them an estimate.

[@lawnman3638]

Especially if you have mowed 100s of lawns in your time. I do the same for mowing but add a premium so I do not screw myself.

I have one day of week (Thur) that I drive to another town, about 15 miles away, and stay and service lawn accounts all day. The rest of the time I am in my town (population 15,000) servicing lawn accounts. My question for Brian would be, with his extreme density (unload machines and mow all day), how does he work out breaks, and bathroom trips so his helpers aren't ""burnt out" in short order?

[@thomasbanks317]

I too have thought about this. No one can do more than about 2hours straight of line trimming without a decent break. Keen to hear.

[@swimbait1]

I live in a community of 50,000 people, the entire city is within 10 minutes. I worry more about dollars per day then hours equipment is running. What matters is what you made at the end of the day vs what you paid out.

[@mikeciuciui6935]

lawn account density is very key to higher profits. But you also have to be in the right neighborhood. Being well-liked by your customers is also important because you have low bidders that'll try to break up you are presence in a certain area.

[@wallystewart1979]

my son and i are thinking about starting a lawn care business this is great info do you have a video on pricing jobs

[@steveocker5235]

wally stewart I live in a Texas town with a population of 100,000. My service area is about 6 mile radius. I work by myself. I try to price my lawns by the hour. For smaller lawns I can get $1 per minute, up to about $40, or 40 minutes. For lawns that take up to 1 hour, I cannot really justify charging over $50. For my town, that is about the max I can charge, most people will not pay any more than that. The equipment I own is a Honda HRX217 lightweight residential mower, Echo handheld blower, and an Echo straight shaft weed eater. For leaf clean ups in the fall, I charge $60 an hour. I bag the leaves with the mower, and leave the leaves at the customers house for the trash service to haul off. If they need me to haul off the leaves to the landfill, I charge $50 per hour, round trip. Good luck!

[@steveocker5235]

wally stewart drive around and find a company mowing. Tell them you live down the block. Ask them what they are charging the customer they are mowing for. Cal a few companies and have them quote your yard. Ask them how many people would be in their crew to cut your lawn.

[@jonathanandrews5804]

I am still just starting my lawn care business, so I will definitely work on implementing rout density early on. Thank you, and this was a very helpful video.

[@AlexDonnett]

I deliver pizzas. I left to work in a sister store in the nicest suburb of toledo thinking " those rich people will tip alot more and there is more territory to go to". Big mistake. Big houses meant big subdivisions and yards and basically it took too long to go from house to house so i didnt get many deliveries finished. Went back to a denser neighborhood and took way more deliveries in a night meaning more tips earned. Just 2 nights ago someone gave me 7$ to deliver literally 5 houses away from the store.

[@lawnenforcement999]

I’m glad Keith reiterated that you CAN drive outside of your town and still build route density. You don’t actually have to have route density in your city that has no customers. It’s ok to drive to a different city and build the route density there. I enjoyed hearing that bc there are not enough customers to survive where I live. I have to drive at least 20 minutes away before you get to where you can make a living.

[@EJ4060]

[@jaychatfield9937]

I totally understand and get the micromanagement and Logistics part in effort to maximize your margins however I think that if you looked at your lawn care service similar to how a roofer looks at his jobs each Property Serviced can be estimated going off of the amount of square with an equation that should give you a profitable margin. That margin should have a percentage of fluctuation for contingency and you should have a price per square that covers your nut called par. Once you know your par you can set standards for profitability without worrying about micromanaging yourself and your employees into a psychiatric ward before everyone quits on you. When you're speaking of doing 20 and 30 properties in one neighborhood, that doesn't happen in your first year or even by your third or fourth year in many cases. Those are situations that out of common-sense people understand the value of not only saving time but making more money during that time so there's not a lot of reason to cover that as an important factor when it's so obvious. A more important talking point would be how to obtain 20 to 30 accounts in one neighborhood, how to go about it, how long it takes and what type of investment is encouraged to produce those types of results in realistic terms. Lastly your par prices should be scalable at 80%. Meaning that 80% of your receivable should cover your margins including forcasted profits so that you can double your business every year. The other 20% is always in collections. The biggest tip I'll give you and your followers is to remember that there's no reason to hold on to cash and that debt is more valuable for a business then any assets are as long as there is cash flow. Of course the exception to this is if you want to sell your business. Anyway, another good video overall
