How are you keeping track of your lawns? 

Published 2 months ago • 2 min read

Hi Reader

Keeping track of your lawns is one of the first things you must master when you start growing your business. How do you do it?

Do you use spreadsheets, Google Calendars, or something else?

If you are busy like us, updating the day's lawns and planning the next day can take a while. We use a spreadsheet I designed in the early 2000s, but you need to know your way around Excel to make it work. It's not ideal for a lot of lawn-mowing businesses.

I have been testing different platforms over the last couple of years and have written about my experiences in a post.

In this post, I delve into the critical aspects of managing your day-to-day tasks efficiently.

From automating scheduling and dispatching to simplifying invoicing and billing processes, we explore how the right software can be your business's secret weapon.

Update on Google Websites

If you have a listing and a website with Google, bad news: you no longer have a website. Google has now removed them all. If you had a Google website and check the link on your listing, it will redirect back to your listing.

This redirection will only last until early June, and they will get an error message when they click the website link. The answer is to remove the website address from your listing or get a website built.

I have been building a lot of one-page websites recently for guys who don't want to get caught out. I even got an email from a housepainer from ( Milan, Italy) asking for help this morning. However, at the moment, I am only offering NZ sites. Here is one I finished yesterday https://localservices.co.nz/the-cuban-handyman/

I am extending the $ 99-a-year offer for a build and hosting until early June. This will keep it in line with Google's schedule and allow people to get a site for a fair price before the redirection stops. You can get one here https://buy.stripe.com/cN201Y9qZ8Ui8uYdRd . The current build time is within seven days.

Buyers and Sellers

The business I listed in Huntly has now sold, but I have had a buyer in Tauranga looking for lawns if anyone has a few to sell let me know.

Now get out there, mow lawns, grow your business, and have fun.

Hi Reader Firstly, my apologies for missing a week. It's the first time in a couple of years, so I guess that's not too bad. These emails take a while to write, and last weekend was hectic. Today, I'm going to look at everyone's favorite subject. How to get more customers? One way that lawn businesses have been using for years is by putting out flyers. The million-dollar question is… But do they really work? Let's find out... When I started a lawn mowing business in 1987, delivering flyers...

Hi It's been another busy week. Working in the rain the last few days hasn't been much fun. Still, it will do the grass good. The lawns are recovering quite well from the dry spell. Someone in the group asked a good question this week. "Hi guys, with the warmer days ending, how's everyone's balance books looking? Has there been a noticeable difference in the state of the economy? Yes, things will slow down soon, and you will soon get customers asking for longer cut cycles. This will leave...

Hi Reader We just picked up our third van last week. We are trying to keep the business small, but with three of us working part-time and closing on 200 lawns, coordinating was starting to get tricky. There were times when all three of us needed to be on the road simultaneously. We have been as high as five vehicles before, but we were employing staff and didn't want to go down that road again. This time around, it's strictly family. Me arriving home with my new van We like to operate out of...
