Every truly successful landscaping company I’ve visited or consulted with over the years has had an efficient and effective system in place for their morning roll-out, or has quickly had to figure out how to drastically improve theirs. Without one, you are setting yourself up for endless hours of wasted time and eroding your profitability, day by day. In this week’s Great Idea, I share how we used to start the day at Grunder Landscaping and the important lessons I’ve learned since about the power of planning:

To ensure our crews at GLC can get out the door in the morning and to the job site as efficiently as possible, we take the following steps the afternoon and evening before: 

• Complete all work orders, tickets, and notes for the next day’s jobs and share them with team leaders

• Refuel, sweep out, and reload our trucks

• Stage the plant materials we’ll need

And this is just the start. To win in our industry, you have got to operate and execute with efficiency in all that you do. I’ll take a deep dive into the many tips, tactics, and tricks we use at GLC to ensure we’re making money on each job we undertake in our special Profit Pros Virtual Workshop this Thursday, August 13. If you haven’t signed up already, do so now—I promise it will be worth your while. 

Have a great week and, as always, if we can help you in any way at The Grow Group, drop us a line at grow@growgroupinc.com.
