A Landscape Business That Works for You Owning and running a landscape business is tough. You put up collateral to get money to start, borrow more to stay in business, it’s seasonal, it’s hard to find and keep good help, and there’s really no book you can open to achieve sure-fire success. Customers are looking for your “why,” employees are looking for your wallet, and there’s hardly ever credit to be had at supply yards anymore. “A Business That Works for You” seems like a fantasy. I am here to tell you it’s not. It takes a shift in your perspective, a change of mind, and a plan. Speaker: Dan Pestretto, landscape business coach, SOD, Inc.

Our tribute to these unique structures is the work we continue today in good practice.
