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!
