How Much Does a Landscape Job Cost Your Business Before You Show Up?!

Every job needs to pay for more than the time you spend physically doing the work. Before you even start, you’ve already got money tied up in your truck, trailer, equipment, fuel, insurance, maintenance and repairs. Then there’s the cost most people forget about: Eventually, all of that equipment needs replacing. My latest video uses one of our recent landscaping jobs as an example. We had easily $250,000+ worth of trucks, trailers, tools and equipment on site just to complete the work. But the lesson applies whether you have multiple crews or you’re running solo with one mower. If those costs aren’t built into your pricing, they eventually come straight out of your pocket. The goal isn’t just to cover what your business costs today. It’s to make sure today’s jobs are helping prepare you for what the business will cost tomorrow. Check out the video, then let me know: what equipment replacement or repair cost caught you off guard when you first started?
