How to Grow a Landscape Business and still Make Money.

1. Why Most NEVER
Make Money In
Their Landscape
Business

2. Do You Feel Like
• You’re under pricing your
jobs?
• You’re not making enough
money?
• Your business never gets
better, no matter how much
time you put in?
• There is never enough
money left over?
• There is no money to grow?
• You are ALWAYS just
scraping by?

3. When you started, you were probably
making $30 per hour.

4. Add more people and you should
make more money.
Right?

5. But, more employees also means
more expenses.

6. • Wages
• Truck expense
• Gasoline
• Equipment
• Supplies/materials
• Truck insurance
Just to start …
Expenses like . . .

7. TRACKING your expenses is key.
Make sure you figure out what the cost
PER HOUR is for each expense.

8. If you were making $30
per hour by yourself…

9. Adding another
employee DOUBLES the
yards you can mow…

10. BUT, only makes
you another $8 or
so more per hour
when you
subtract
expenses.

how how that works.

11. So you add more employees . . .

12. … AND yet more expenses
• Storage unit for equipment
• Office
• Office assistant
• Utilities for office
• Marketing
• Etc.

13. But now you are spending YOUR
time finding new clients. . .

14. . . . and have to hire even MORE
people to make up the $30/hr you
had been earning.

15. Although charging
$30/hour was GREAT
when it was just you…

16. It provides too small a profit margin
when expenses increase as
you expand your business

17. So, You MUST
1. Adjust your rates as you add people
2. But, keep your rates competitive
3. Become more efficient (mow a yard
well, but faster)

18. If you start with a good hourly rate
(or get there quickly), your
business should prosper.

19. INVEST, INVEST, INVEST
ALWAYS put some of your
profit aside to invest in the
growth of your business:
• Better equipment
• Quality people

20. instead of income going up and down as
expenses are added.
This cash investment will let you
grow your business smoothly
