Update: Our 4-week networking pilot has wrapped. Thank you to everyone who joined! We brought pros together across industries for weekly 30-minute sessions focused on real business challenges, and the conversations delivered. There was strong participation, valuable idea-sharing, and great feedback from those who joined. 👉 The goal was simple: bring a challenge and get ideas from other pros, and that’s exactly what happened. We’re now taking what we learned and determining next steps, with plans to likely bring these back in the future. If you found these valuable, or are interested in joining future sessions, let us know in the comments and we’ll keep you posted on what’s next. Really appreciate everyone who took the time to be part of this!220Views5likes11CommentsRoll call! Meet & introduce yourself to other Green & Exterior Service pros

I am looking to start a new side business in lawn care. I may have one or two people to work with me full time so that I can keep my full time job until this thing takes off. Are there some things that any of you wish you had known before you started your businesses?437Views2likes7CommentsAdditional Services-what to charge
Good morning, I am a new business, about two years old. I have mostly stuck with my basic services of Lawn Mowing, edging, trimming and blowing everything clean. However, i recently rebranded and updated a list of new service. Mulch jobs and flower bed weed clean out, so Weed and bed Maintenance. My question, how do you all quote mulch jobs or weed clean out like this? I have searched only and see so many different ways, figured i would ask here. Just looking for tips and tricks.252Views1like1CommentGreetings
Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself on the community page. My name is Douglas Mack, I'm the owner and operator of D. Mack Lawn Care Services, LLC in the upstate of SC. I'm new to Jobber. I'm slowly switching from Square. I trying to get to know Jobber features. Later, I will be adding on other features but not right now only because I'm paying for another CRM. If there are any advice you guys have, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks291Views2likes2Comments
