The 5 Numbers Every Landscaper Needs to Know (And Probably Aren't Tracking) MDL Episode 400
Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast
You can have a packed schedule, a hard-working crew, and great equipment — and still have nothing left at the end of the month.
The problem usually isn't the work. It's that you're guessing instead of knowing.
In this episode, Scott breaks down the five numbers every landscaping business owner needs to track — no accounting degree required. These aren't complicated formulas. They're simple checkpoints that tell you if you're actually making money, if your crew is working efficiently, if your pricing is costing you jobs, and if your customers are sticking around.
You'll learn:
How to calculate your job profitability rate (and what it means if you're under 40%)
What your revenue per labor hour is telling you about your crew's efficiency
Why winning 80% of your bids is actually a red flag
How to measure customer retention — and what to do if people aren't coming back
How to speed up getting paid so you're not floating your own jobs
Scott also put together a free cheat sheet — The 5 Essential Numbers Every Landscaper Needs to Know — linked in the show notes. No sign-up. Just grab it and use it.
If you're tired of being busy and still feeling broke, this one's for you.
