How do window cleaning businesses stay profitable during the winter slow season?
We have been in business since 2005 most of the years we have always shut down for our slow season being winter. Since maybe 2019 we have worked in the winter doing snow removal/carpet cleaning and hanging Christmas lights to drum up work. We have had a good bit of growth over the years, and I am curious with other window cleaners have y'all found a good niche for the slow winter months?What to charge for landscaping job?
Hi everyone, I’ve got a landscaping job coming up and I’m looking for some advice on pricing it fairly. The job includes: Clearing out the backyard and the side of the house (removing overgrowth, debris, smaller trees, etc.) Hauling away all the waste and debris Cleaning out the gutters I already have images and a short video of the areas ready to share for context. Link: https://imgur.com/a/OJTrye7 I’m in the Lima, Ohio area and trying to figure out a fair total charge for this job. Based on the scope, how would you suggest I price it? Should I go hourly, flat rate, or a mix? Any tips on factoring in hauling and gutter work would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance for your guidance!Looking to Partner with Local Businesses for Mutual Growth!

Lawn Maintenance For Free
I am starting a new lawn and landscaping business. I have some customers now but want to grow significantly. Is it advisable to offer 1 or 2 mowings to gain more clients in a tighter geography? I have found, in the past, that offering services for free tends to devalue the service. But I am eager to bring my service route much closer to each other. I would love to hear ideas and experiences.
Additional 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.
Mowing Pricing help
In the past we have based our mowing prices off the average time spent on the lawn over the previous season. In the spring we don't make much profit. We make up for it in the summer and fall. That has worked fine until last years drought. We had lawns that were not serviced for 6-7 weeks. We are in Ohio so we have about 30 weeks of mowing. We have to catch clippings in the spring which we do not charge extra for. We thought about adding a charge of 25% regular mowing price to make it profitable. Thoughts, suggestions, tips?
