Some companines big or small will/will not expand their services, I have mentioned this before, big giants like Brickman Group, that are already in exterior maintenace , simply add on pressure washing.

But the last time I spoke with their managment in my area they were not intrested in doing this. That could have changed, this was over 3 years ago.

I think alot of business would be affected, maybe not everyones, but definately some.

I disagree with you guys, the industry is changing. The Power sweeper, landscaper, pool man, window washer and many other trades are using the pressure washers to clean things as ad on services.

You can't stop the tide, you just have to position yourself to be ready for the changes that are inevitable.

Thanks Ron. I hope these guys who no matter what I say will find a way to disagree with me will now possibly see what I am saying and its not thru arrogance. This is the way the world turns now. Chris Chappel who I think has been disagreeing with me since the PWNA does if he truly think that its wrong to network with other Businesses in different fields then why is he all over the net helping people in this field when we all know the Landscapers etc can search him out and get all the answers they need for there problems from all that Chris has posted. Chris pull the wool off of your eyes.

This is the modern times and yes some businesses will fail because they just don't have the determination to keep it going thru the lively waves that are in front of them...mainly the internet.

Thad says it best and everyone here can blame the internet..but I don't see none of you leaving the net...its the way of the future. ALso there are times when you have a big shot for a Tremendous commercial account that may also need window washers and Landscapers...and who can put that all together....YOU.

Don't be afraid to network with other type of business because if you are....you will be left behind.

And nice try for calling me arrogent. Names never work when having a nice constructive debate.

I wasn't disagreeing with anyone here, I was just adding that.

South Florida is seasonal. Just because you can work year round, doesn't mean there is work year round.

We all adapt to what we can do and still eat. I do pool services as well. I am partial to eating.:clapping:

Myself personally am not afraid of the solo operating landscape guy. Its the medium to large companies that scare me. These guy have customer list..... big ones...
They don't play.....They are members of apartment, hotel, Restaurants and property management groups already. (Which all of us should be) These companies have 10 -to 100 plus trucks in a town or city already. Do you really think you could compete with these guys? These guys will take your share of business and never even think about it.

No Education for landscapers...............Save your trade. Don't support educating landscapers!!!!!!



 
You don't want big time landscape operations getting into our field most of them are the ultimate lowballers. It may work for some of you guys in the northern states that dont have as much competition but in the south the only business more cut throat than pressure washing is landscaping.

Lou, I have been Supporting and bringing education to all in this industry for over Ten Years.

I would rather educate than have them mess the industry up.

I lost ya, no one is soliciting here. We are helping each other LOU.

Your wanting to be a real contractor?

A landscaper is that...

I have networked with other landscape companies all my life. Try it you might like it.

You obviously missed my point along with the point of others also. In other words, don't bring them here so they learn better ways to do the job and still not raise their prices, in other words, educate a hack and let them offer better services at hack prices.

I never said that I don't network with other industries (go and read that again since you missed it) I network with people in other industries and offer a referral fee or finders' fee (whatever you want to call it) but I don't expect anything back as I am building relationships so hopefully one day we can just send leads to each other all the time.

It was not intentional name calling, you post did come across as arrogant or we would not have called you out on it.

Sometimes a person can say something and not mean it but when others see something and call him out on it, that is a sign that you should have worded it different.

Maybe you did not want to come across as arrogant, maybe you just wanted to brag a little. Some parts of the country are feeling the economy slow down more than others while some parts are booming but I don't see the point in bragging, there will always be someone out there that can sell more jobs, bigger jobs, have more customers, etc.... but the difference is that most out there will not brag about not feeling it if they lose customers or have accounts setup that they will not lose.

I understand if you did not mean to come across as arrogant.
