Can you track snow removal separately from landscaping?

Yes. Snow gets its own income and cost lines, so you can see whether the plows pay for themselves.

Can you help plan equipment purchases for taxes?

Yes, with a tax package. Bring big purchases to us before year end, and we'll show you how each one changes your tax bill.

Our crew size changes with the seasons. Is payroll a problem?

No. We run payroll for crews of every size and handle new hires and seasonal layoffs as they happen.

How much cash should I have going into winter?

Your specialist works out that number with you from last year's slow months and this year's costs, then keeps checking it so December holds no surprises.

The problem

Mowing, installs and snow are three different businesses.

Maintenance pays every week and installs pay in chunks. Snow depends on the weather, and in one bank account you can't tell which of the three is carrying the year.

Crews that double and shrink
Headcount can double between March and May and drop again in November, and payroll has to keep up both ways.
Big equipment and a tax bill to match
Mowers, trucks, trailers and skid steers are big purchases, and when you buy them changes what you owe in April.
A long winter on summer's cash
The off season is a break or a problem, depending on what you set aside in July.

The big questions

Can I buy the new mower?
Are the plows worth it?
Will cash last until March?
Too many guys on in June?
Do installs pay better?

Coaching

Each season gets its own numbers.

Your specialist splits maintenance, installs and snow, so each one gets priced and staffed on what it earns.

Pricing: Maintenance contracts and install bids priced on what crews and materials cost now.
Labor: Labor as a share of revenue by month, so you staff the season without guessing.
Materials: Plants, mulch and stone on the right job, with the markup you meant to charge.
Marketing: Which leads become maintenance contracts that renew, and what each one cost.
Overhead: Equipment repairs, fuel and trailers, against what other landscaping companies spend.

Cost of goods

Landscaping

Take these out of revenue and what's left is your gross margin.

Plants and materials
Mulch, stone and soil
Field labor
Subcontractors
Equipment rental
Dump fees

Numbers to watch

Gross margin by service line: Maintenance and installs rarely earn the same.
Labor as a share of revenue by month: Shows when crews are over- or understaffed.
Equipment cost per crew: Repairs and payments add up per truck.
Cash reserve before winter: What has to carry you to spring.
