The harsh winter months are gone, and spring is knocking on the door. Come March; you can focus on recalibrating your inventory and setting up the plan for the rest of the year. Before starting to work on your projects, here is a checklist that you can refer to.

Take inventory of supplies and equipment

Taking stock of your landscaping supplies in March is very important. You may have done your calculation for each project individually. However, a stock check of your leftover supplies will help you check their condition, judge wastage, and plan appropriate storage of winter products and equipment. This is when you can get the maintenance done for your snowplow, trucks, and protective gear.

You can update your inventory list and be prepared to take up new or existing landscaping. This can be the time to grow seasonal plants that you may need for setting up gardens and order products that you have less in quantity.

Revisit existing clients and prepare for new clients

You can contact your regular clients and set up a maintenance call. The winter months would have caused some damage to the yard or landscape edging. This needs to be looked into and fixed as soon as possible to avoid any permanent damage. Apart from doing the clean-up, fertilizing, weeding, and mulch work, making this visit could also open up upselling opportunities.

Your clients may be looking to add a new feature to their landscape or redo their flower beds. Your initiative to contact them would show that you care about their property and value their business.

Prepare for new clients by ensuring you have all your seasonal landscaping supplies. You could also run some promotions to attract more customers for your business.

Spring cleaning

Spring cleaning of the yard involves removing debris, and leaves, fertilizing, pruning, trimming, and laying out fresh mulch to facilitate the growth of plants. Some landscaping contractors expect the client to get their location ready beforehand. However, it is best to include spring cleaning in your list of services, as this will ensure you avoid any surprises once the work has begun.

You could start by looking at any damages that have been caused to the yard and landscape edging. Also, check hardscapes such as patios, fire pits, water features, grilling stations, and other outdoor areas. Work on the maintenance and fixing of these areas and then go about putting in the new work. Fixing the landscape edging helps you gauge the space you have to work on and will help you focus.

Sticking to a schedule can help you maintain your resources, plan your following projects, and grow a thriving garden.
