Taking care of my full maintenance accounts; mowing once a month; pruning; gutter cleaning; landscaping; gutter cleaning; more pruning; and more gutter cleaning. My crew will shrink down to two part time, but that beats unemployment.

For some reason, I pick up tons of mulching jobs in the winter. I guess they want their beds to look nicer than everyone else's.

Jack D. retains about 70% of customers for snow removal, puts them on monthy contracts and prays the snow does not interrupt his drinking.
