Lawn Care in Florida

Oct 28

Posted by Lawn Care Business in bidding lawn care, lawn care contracts | No Comments

While the Tennessee days get shorter and the nights get cooler, I took a late October weekend and flew to southern Florida for a few days to learn more about lawn care in the southernmost of the 48 contiguous states. From a business standpoint I am envious of the seasons Florida lawn care professionals enjoy. It is still toasty warm in southern Florida and lawn care crews aren’t missing a beat mowing, blowing, and picking up palm fronds.

Though much of my writing on this blog has focused on leaf pickup and autumn lawn care projects. While leaf pickup is not the most prevalent chore to be done on Florida lawns (if you exclude palm fronds) there are many aspects of the lawn care business that Florida lawn care professional need to focus.

Our lawn care business package has a tremendous amount of information on how (and when) to bid commercial lawn care contracts. Florida’s lawn care season is extended far beyond what many of the northern states experience. I believe contract bidding is distributed more evenly throughout the 12 months than it is for the rest of us further north. Because of this dispersal of lawn care contract bidding times, it is very important for lawn care professionals in Florida to learn proper bidding procedures.

If you are in Florida (or any other area of the country with an year-round mowing season) it is very important for you to learn how to bid contracts and price your services effectively. Missing even 1 or 2 contracts can cost your company thousands of dollars in lost revenue.

For those of us in more temperate climates, we also need to be keenly aware of the importance of proper contract bidding. None of us want to miss out on a large scale contract because we didn’t follow the bidding guidelines or because we improperly priced our services causing our bids to be dismissed.

If you are in Florida (or any part of the country) and want to bid lawn care contracts next year. We encourage you to purchase a copy of our Start A Lawn Care Business training course. There is a tremendous amount of information on how to bid large scale lawn mowing contracts. The price of the program is under $50 and you should easily be able to pay for the course with just one successful bid on a lawn care contract.

Australia Lawn Care Business Startup Guide

While we, in the Northern Hemisphere, are knee deep in leaf raking jobs, our counterparts in Australia and New Zealand are just getting started with their spring lawn care season. I have never been to the land down under but I hope to visit one day in the near future.

When I visit OF COURSE the first thing I’m going to do is visit a bathroom to flush a toilet just to see for myself which way the water swirls. 🙂 Seriously though; when I visit I will be interested in learning more, first hand, about horticultural and business practices south of the equator.

If you are reading this blog posting from Australia, New Zealand, or any country in the Southern Hemisphere and you are thinking of starting your own lawn care business, this blog is for you.

We are asked many times from people in Australia and New Zealand if we ship our lawn care guidebooks and software package internationally. The simple answer is “YES!” Though we developed the lawn care business course specifically for new lawn care business owners in the United States, many of the business principles apply to your country. A large part of the business program is devoted to teaching you: how to do the work properly, how to bid jobs, how to buy equipment, how to acquire the “right” type of customers, how to make money in the winter, and how to beat out your competition.

Since nearly everything within the business course is customizable (including the estimating software) it works perfectly across international boarders. As long as you live in a country that fosters an entrepreneurial spirit this lawn care business package is for you.

The only thing we ask is that you pay a few dollars more for shipping and that you pay via paypal (credit card or paypal account). That’s all we ask and we will ship the entire lawn care business course to you within 1 business day. Normal shipping time is about 7 to 10 business days to most countries.

So, if you are thinking about starting a Lawn Care & Landscaping business, review the entire description on our home page and then return here to make your purchase with the button below.

Thank you and best of luck to you….where ever you are. 🙂

Bidding Lawn Mowing Contracts

As the Summer lawn mowing season rolls to an end and Autumn creeps along it is time to think about next year’s grass cutting contracts.

Here is something for you to keep in mind: October 1 is the first day of the U.S. Government’s fiscal New Year. Many government lawn care contracts will be bid during the next several weeks for lawn care work to be completed during 2011. Get those bids in NOW guys. You can’t afford to miss this important time of year if you are one of our many readers who operate large lawn care companies who make their money going after Government scale grass cutting contracts.

Not all Government contracts are bid right now but many RFPs (request for proposals) are open right now and will close on, or before, September 30. Other mowing contracts will be bid in the months ahead. Much of the money you plan to make in 2011 will be determined by the contracts you successfully bid during the next few months.

If you are at all interested in bidding larger scale lawn mowing contracts (local and federal government mowing contracts, private industry grass cutting contracts, and local business lawn care work) we have included an excellent “Bidding Tutorial” guidebook in our Lawn Care Business package. It describes how to find these contracts, who to speak with in order to uncover hidden contracts, and how to price and properly bid the contracts.

Also, the estimating software is included with the lawn care business package. Many lawn care business professionals tell us that our estimating software is worth much more than the cost of the entire package.
