Cultivating Key Points

Labor Challenges: Landscape contractors face significant labor shortages. To address this, manufacturers are developing machines that perform similar work in less time and require less maintenance.

Productivity Focused: Landscape companies aim to maximize crew productivity. Equipment, like robotic mowers, allows crew members to focus on detailed tasks while the machines handle the bulk of the mowing.

Efficiency Improvements: Many companies are adopting software and technology to boost operational efficiency. Tracking technology in machines helps gather data to optimize operations, particularly around idle time.

Solution: To combat problems with labor, productivity, and efficiency, you need to make smart fiscal moves. Consider financing and leasing expensive purchases like equipment. This allows your company to grow while staying financially sound. Cash concerns are real when optimizing growth, especially in the hardscaping industry. It's wise for businesses to evaluate their goals and understand that the smartest way to achieve them might be through an expert lender.
