Getting mulching jobs

[Ground Works]

There was a thread may have been a year ago but whenever, About going around and getting a days worth of parking lot stripping jobs....... So I was wondering why could u go around to business and just do the samething for mulching jobs???

So go to each business that has any type of flower bed ask if u can give an estimate and just spend a day doping this then give estimates then fill up a cpl days of just mulching... Anyone ever try this???

Hell, thats the only reason i take 90% of my cuts,, just so i can have the mulch that comes w/ it. If i could keep the mulch and drop the cuts id be in heaven. Mowing sucks!

It rained all night Sunday and all day Monday here. Too wet to do any digging today so I'm working on paperwork and talking on the computer. Feels a lot like last spring.

My buddy in Pittsburgh keeps me posted on the weather up there. I don't know how you guys stand it. I spent an entire winter building cell towers up and down the I 79 corridor from Morganstown down towards Charleston. All I remember about it was if the temp was over 33 it rained, if it was below 33 it snowed. Every day that I was up there. I'll never forget that winter as long as I live. We bid all the jobs from Richmond going off of drawings without looking at the sites. We lost money on every job except for a rooftop site at WVU. Most of these jobs were on mountaintops. We would cut in new roads to get to the site. Then we'd have to have a steady flow of trucks bringing rock to the site to keep the roads from washing away. You put the rock down, and an hour later it was gone. Vanished into the mud. I can remember a few where we kept a D6 busy for three weeks straight. All he did was pull trucks up the mountain. Talk about missing something in the bid!
