4 Months, Big Money: Your Year-End Growth Plan

In this episode of the Growing Green Podcast, Jeremiah Jennings outlines how to keep your lawn and landscaping business thriving through the fall and into winter by strategically offering seasonal services. He stresses the importance of not slowing down in the last four months of the year, but instead leveraging high-margin opportunities like snow contracts (for northern operators), leaf cleanups, gutter cleaning, pruning, pine straw/mulch refreshes, and especially Christmas light installations. Jeremiah shares marketing strategies such as yard signs, targeted emails to existing clients, strategic partnerships, and referral incentives to secure early bookings. He also highlights the value of bundling services for higher revenue per hour and using tools like SOPs (created with AI) to streamline operations. The overarching message: treat the off-season as a prime time to generate revenue, maintain staff year-round, and build momentum for the following spring.
