UPDATED DESCRIPTION: In this session, you will learn how to implement best practices that maximize efficiency without compromising quality or safety protocols during your weekly landscape maintenance visits. We will explore timetested principles that optimize workflow through proper equipment selection and utilization. You’ll learn how to identify and differentiate between good and bad habits in your current mowing operations, enabling you to train and develop your crews to be the best they can be while fostering a culture of continuous improvement. By applying these principles and best practices, you will be able to develop a “script” to train your crews to operate the right equipment in the right areas, for the right amount of time, and in the right sequence, ensuring the job is completed in the most effective manner possible. Whether you are experienced or new to the industry, this session provides valuable insights to enhance your overall landscaping success by focusing on the small details that can lead to increased productivity and profitability.
