Spring isn’t “coming” — it’s here. And if your landscaping schedule isn’t full yet, you’re already behind. Here’s how to fix that fast.
1. Create Urgency or Stay Broke
Your clients are getting emails from every landscaper in town. Most are boring. Yours shouldn’t be. Send one sentence that gets them to act:
“We’re closing the May schedule this week. Want a spot?”
The same message goes out in a quick text. Keep it short. People skim. Your job is to get booked, not chat.
2. Pitch Maintenance Plans Now — Not Later
Don’t just mow once. Get them on a plan. Offer a monthly package that includes mowing, trimming, cleanup — whatever you do. The client wins. You get recurring revenue.
Pro tip: Say this in your pitch — “Spots are limited. Once we hit 30 maintenance clients, we pause new signups.” That’s real urgency.
3. Don’t Let Your Calendar Kill You
If you’re still writing jobs down in a notebook, you’re doing it wrong. You need a system that auto-sends reminders, lets clients book online, and doesn’t double-book you.
Final Note
May can be your most profitable month. But only if your calendar fills before the rush hits. The landscapers who win are the ones who prepare now, not later.
