For Lawn and Landscape Business Owners:

We’ve been hearing this question a lot from our clients and followers… “will there be a slow down in the economy in the coming months?

Because of this question, we decided to send out a survey this week to get some feedback on the current state of things from the landscapers running businesses right now out there in the field.

We had 134 responses from landscapers all over the nation from California to Delaware and everywhere in between. In fact, we created a map just so that you can see how widespread the area covered by respondents is (we even had responses from Canada, Australia and Ireland!)…

Here’s what we found:

Question 1: How are your sales compared to last year at this time?

Higher than last year: 56%

The same as last year: 26%

Lower than last year: 18%

 

Question 2: How is your current workload compared to last year?

Higher than last year: 55%

The same as last year: 26%

Lower than last year: 19%

 

You see, based on the survey results, the vast majority…82% report higher or same level sales compared to 2022.

But hey…we get it.  If you’re in that 20% that has seen lower sales and less workload, it is CRITICAL for you to step up your marketing efforts RIGHT NOW!!!!

You can’t delay, defer or dilute your marketing effort.

The leads that you generate in the month of June will lead to work in July, August or September.

And here is what we know…. things always slow down after the Fourth of July!

So… are things slowing down for landscapers? We truly believe that is 100% up to you!
