Ever feel like your crews spend more time in traffic than on turf? Then this episode is for you.
In this week’s episode of The Beer Garden, we’re breaking down one of the most overlooked levers of profitability in landscaping and snow: route density. That’s right, how close your job sites are to one another can make or break your bottom line.
We’ll crack open a cold one and dive into:
Why route density is your best friend when it comes to labor efficiency, fuel costs, and scheduling sanity
The hidden (and expensive) costs of poor route planning
How to build tighter routes using tech, service zones, and territory-based marketing
The micro-shop strategy: how satellite yards can transform your ops and hiring
Metrics that matter: How to actually measure your route efficiency
Real-world tips to avoid common route planning mistakes
We also chat through examples, tactics, and some near-disasters from our own businesses.
If you’re looking to grow smarter, not just bigger, this one’s a must-listen.
Remember, tighter routes = fatter margins!
