i do the work because I have alot of full time employees that need to stay busy.I think this industry is tough but I don't think it sucks.

The problem is,this industry take years before you are successful.I have spread my wings out far for the last year and now I am starting to see rewards.The firsy 6 months was brutal being out 50 large but now i am getting check each week and it made it easier.

2nd most of landscaping and snow plowing is all national so I know how the scene goes.

National equal bulk work= low money
Local equal less work = lots more money

I just refuse to downsize or layoff.I care too much.

I don't recycle much but I don't do many trash outs.30 yard dumpsters up here are 800.00 too much money.I only do trash outs where dumpsters can put on sight,so I dont do many because I am not trying to work for 20 to 30 per c/y.

most of landscaping and snow plowing is all national so I know how the scene goes.

You must live and work in a huge metro area.

Because other wise most of the work out there isn't tied up with a national. There are far more home owners and small businesses that manage their own site than what go thru a nat.

In all my years of grounds maint I've yet to run across a national controlling the grounds maint.

After our fire in 08 our new modular is 100% vinyl.

We plan to do tile and laminate on top of that in some of the rooms.
