There's 3 factors that come into play when I quote landscaping maintenance.
1.) Itemized price
2.) Hourly
3.) Gut feeling
I add all 3 prices, then divide it by 3.
(after a while you don't even have to do the math, it just comes to you)
By a stop watch and start timing everything.
Create a standardized price sheet in excel so you can have a reference on how much your prices are.
YES, I under-quoted many times and STILL DO.
YES, I've let customers take advantage of me.
YES, I have ADD and Low Self-esteem
YES, I feel like a piece of crap because I don't have nice cars and a fancy house to come home to.
YES, I have horrible anxiety issues and constant racing thoughts.
BUT......
NOBODY CARES!
And...
No One is ever going to save you so get to work and get that business off the ground.
I went from a broke minded employee with zero money to invest to starting my own landscaping company.
My last year as a landscape foreman I was stuck in a dead end job, made $24,000 and barely had enough to make the bills let alone pay off debt and student loans.
Coming home to eviction and shut off notices and fighting with my wife over money problems.
I remember being out to eat at a restaurant with her and some friends one evening and I was in so much financial anxiety over the bills that I excused myself into the restaurant bathroom and had an emotional breakdown.
Then...
My friend Dave taught me some valuable small business tips that changed my life forever and in only 6 weeks I was making enough money following his advice doing side jobs that I replaced my income and ditched my grass cutting job.
My first year in business I doubled my income,
2nd year doubled it again, 3rd year even more than that.
Finally, I'm humbly here to teach you the methods I learned
to end the suffering and start your own dang landscaping company.
The Landscaping Employee Trap
Whether you dream of starting your own lawn care, snow removal or landscaping business. It's all a lot easier than you think.
You don't need $20,000, a big bank loan or 5 start credit.
All you need is a will to win.
With a basic understanding of even shrub trimming, tree service, horticulture, garden maintenance, arboriculture, flowers, botany, gardening or any of the above combined with a will to succeed it's all very possible.

Bro i love this video especially how you started talking about the lowest price and how you felt. I never expressed to anyone else that I felt the same way anytime I would underpriced a job. It makes the job absolutely miserable and you tend to hate the customer not giving them the best you can as far as being friendly which can lead to loss of work elsewhere.

I'm not in landscaping but lots of principals are the same on all small businesses. Love your videos, I personally never go down in price i always give my best price and if they try to talk me down, I smile, suggest they get other quotes and walk away. You don't go to a restaurant and try to pay less than what is listed on the menu, it's a huge pet peeve when people try to haggle with me.

@ms.coleman4535 6 жыл бұрын

You sir are so right when you explained that you just have to get a watch and time how long it takes to pull weeds out of a flower bed. I lost $72.00 today because that yard was horrific. There were two flower beds and I mowed weed eated and blowed and cleaned out two flower beds and the man thought he had done me a favor by giving me $50. I will NEVER EVER let myself work that hard and long for peanuts. Granted I am just starting out but he claimed he use to do this for a living and that he made very good money. He even stated that I did just as good if not better than he would have done. Basically I ate the price of doing the flower beds because I did not want to do the yard and it look great then everything else looked like nobody lived in the house. I went far and beyond. There is nothing like a bought lesson let me tell you. I definitely am glad I am starting now so I can get all of the kinks out before next Spring. . How long should it take a beginner to mow trim and blow a 5600 sq.ft. yard and how much should a beginner be charging?

hey man like this video ive been doing this for about 17 years and it is nice to see smeone with the same outlook on pricing, I do the same I look at a job think up an overall price, a separate bush price and a hour price and I negotiate from them. ive never done the divide by three I like that idea and also a rock bottom price. also the hotter the season the more money it cost. I started doing lawn service then I got my horticulturist license to get into landscaping ive been thinking about just becoming a landscape mtc company decause the overhead is a lot cheaper than grass cutting, but I worry too much about the hit or miss work so I just stay balls too the wall doing both all year round. but thanks for the share!!!!!

@angeljake4254 2 жыл бұрын

I've been landscaping/ flowerbed maintenance since 1996. The ones who try to negotiate the price are the ones in bigger houses and gated communities. Battle of the sexes with me since I'm a petite woman they don't think I could do the job. I've got my business started by word of mouth and now I have so much business I don't even have to advertise. But Keith is right about the feeling like shit when you price to low

Those neighborhoods are hit or miss. Some of the people have money, and some have gotten in over their heads. Places like that around here often have empty rooms because someone wants a big house, but they can't afford furniture right away once they've overextended on the house. Of course, the same thing is true in smaller neighborhoods (or neighborhoods with smaller houses), except people who are overextended aren't afraid to buy used furniture off of craigslist to get by.

I think it's weird that in Michigan that homeowners own the trees on the sidewalks. Here in Massachusetts and the city I live in which is Fall River the city owns sidewalks and the trees on it. So homeowners around here are not even allowed to trim branches off the trees, they will get fined, even if it's hanging in their yard. I think it's good that homeowners have to take care of the trees that's on the sidewalks. Great video Keith as always.

Spend some time at a plant nursery ! Take pics of the plants With the name on them and keep them on your phone for reference .

when you find plants you like you learn the name of them cause you want to buy them again or learn how to grow it. Slowly you will know the names of plants I basically love fruits & edible plants so I know heaps of names, then I learnt natives & when I wanted to get a tattoo I researched flowers. Now i'm learning about grasses & tropical plants, foliage colour, etc...you will find plants you like it's easier to remember by common names not scientific names and by categories like trees/shrubs/fruit/veg/nuts/grass/flowers/conifers/tropical plants/foliage colour/cactus/epiphytes,/ground covers/natives/etc...
