[Klean Kutz Landscape]

[dschoefer]

Are you talking about add on services or services that are included in the weekly maintenance?

[Lawngodfather]

Anything that has to do with lawn or landscape.

[Greenman]

Full service property maintenance.

[Lawngodfather]

Oh I also offer gutter cleaning.

[Lawn Lizards]

Mow, edge, weedeat, blow, trim hedges, prune small trees and palms, weed out beds, clean gutters, blow off roofs, some irrigation, retaining walls, pavers, all flower beds, blow parking lots, blow and bag or mulch leaves, getting into more fertilization.

Try to branch your business as much as possible. You will figure out which services are most profitable. We are going to try to get a full irrigation and also tree service going in the long run. There is a ton of money to be made. Educate your own self as the owner........

I couldn't find it but somewhere on this forum steve had a list going of services in addition to weekly mowing, trim, blow, ect.

I do not offer all of these, but they are ideas and I think that is what you are asking for:
Dethatching
Hedge Trimming
resealing driveways
stump removal
tree trimming and removal
spring cleanup
fall and winter cleanup
debris cleanup
herbicides
fertilizing
mulching
tilling gardens
"installing" sod
overseeding
planting gardens
land scaping (land scaping in itself has hundreds of services)

Check Steve' Kreiger's site for more ideas

Keep investing in the right equipment. The equipment and supplies are the things that will enable you to do multi-tasked jobs. Make it time efficient. You have the right ideas, just keep getting ideas from people. You would not believe how much quick money you can make by doing simple things that don't take long, like blowing parking lots or roofs, removing little bushes, cleaning out gutters (you can blow most of it out.

Any kind of clean up job where you know you can look at the yard and think, it's not going to take much to make this yard look a 100 times better.... shaping up the hedges, clean out the junk in the beds, like blowing out leaves, mowing the yard and trimming a couple branches. You can charge quite a bit compared to how long it's actually going to take you and your helpers. The last little clean up job we did took about 1.5 - 1.75 hours. I can't remember exactly. Always think worst case scenerio.

1.75 hours

3 employees (1@9.50, 1@11.25, & 1@ 12.00/hour)

32.75/hr x 2 = $57.31
$57.31 + 9.3% (taxpay) = 62.64
$62.64 + 6.26 (workers comp) = $68.90 (WC @ 10.01 per $100 made by employees)
$68.90 + $5.00 gas (maybe) = 73.90

We charged $200.00. That's an est'd profit of $126.10 for the business, in less than 2 hours. Still so much time left in the day...

I just remembered, we only had two of the employees on the jobsite. 11.25 & 12.00, so that's actually $146.09 profit.
