A good lawn is very often the central feature of a modern garden, whether in town or the countryside. It therefore needs much more care and very often extra expert care than many of the other plants in the garden. The properly maintained lawn is no longer just an area of grass but the backdrop or canvas for the rest of the garden. If the lawn looks good, so will the rest of the garden. Although this manual has been written with the professional gardener or aspiring lawn care specialist in mind, many of the aspects of lawn care within the volume are no more than practical advice which will be of interest and use to both the professional and amateur. This manual is business-oriented and in fact starts with generic questions about starting up a business plan and focuses down to launching a properly constituted lawn care business. It also outlines all the pitfalls of not only being in business for yourself but the implications of employing people, as well as all the anticipated issues which can result from contracting. It is constructed in such a way that whether you are thinking of starting a lawn care business or whether you are already involved, there will be something of use to you. Everything is included from how to go about your accounting to making your business legal...with even a section on the correct tools to acquire. It is written by an experienced gardener who has created a successful lawn care business and who is now passing on his experience by highlighting both the positive and negative aspects of not only working within the horticultural industry but how to go about building a business from scratch. The manual is written in a very readable and sympathetic way rather than in a technical and prescriptive style, so that it provides both an informal and informative reference source for all professional and semi-professional gardeners, without ignoring the amateur!

It has never been harder to find good employees. Government handouts and programs, publicly traded behemoths with an insatiable appetite for front-line staff, and a burgeoning gig-economy has made hiring extremely hard for small business owners. The golden question is how do we attract good talent and then retain them long-term? How do I determine rates of compensation for my highest performers that are always demanding raises? How do I scale my business without having to constantly micro-manage my Team when they are in the field working? The answer is Pay-For-Performance (P4P). I know the frustration of growing a home service business and trying to motivate your workforce while balancing the budget with rising costs of doing business. P4P allowed me to grow my lawn care business past 7-figures in annual revenue and now we have dozens of locations around North America. In a sentence, P4P pays employees a percentage of the labor revenue they earn for the business. It is that simple. The rest of the P4P system ensures that quality standards are upheld and that employees don't speed through work or damage Customer property. If you are tired of babysitting employees, tired of offering low-paying, dead-end jobs, tired of seeing employees waste time, money, and their own potential, I encourage you to diligently implement P4P and see it transform your business. What's Inside This manual is your key to success, and the future to the labor industry as we know it. Inside you'll find the tools need to implement P4P successfully in your business. From bringing up the idea to pushing it beyond a simple pay structure, P4P Why Dollars Per Hour Is A Failing Formula will revolutionize how you do business.
