SHOW NOTES: This hour, we're focusing on eco-friendly home improvements and design tips to help your money pit and Mother Nature, especially as we've just experienced a significant heatwave across the US. We're exploring how to save some green while going green this summer, with easy, affordable projects that can shrink your energy bills, cut back on waste, and help the planet. Here's a look at the topics and calls we'll cover: - Attic Upgrades: Your attic can either work for you or against you in the summer. We're sharing smart attic upgrades to keep your home cooler, cut energy costs, and protect your home from summer's worst side effects. - Strategic Landscaping for Cooling: You can cool your home without touching the thermostat by letting nature do the work. We discuss how strategic landscaping, such as planting shade trees, can naturally reduce heat and energy bills while giving your yard a green upgrade. - Eco-Friendly Design and DIY Projects: We're all about eco-friendly home upgrades that benefit both the planet and your wallet.   Q & A: - Mike from Alaska called in with a question about an upstairs window that leaks when it rains, noting drips from the soffits. We discussed potential causes, including backed-up gutters, failed sealant, or improper flashing. - Susan from California asked about options for her 38-year-old asphalt driveway that needs to be redone, but she doesn't want to resurface with blacktop. - Mark has a beautiful log cabin home that hasn't been stained in 8 years and is fading. We advise him on the process of cleaning the raw lumber, letting it dry, and then choosing a stain that includes UV protection. - Ed is dealing with a serious issue with his 1880s Victorian home's brick foundation, where the bottom layer of bricks is starting to bow out. For such a critical structural concern, we strongly recommend consulting a structural engineer to diagnose the problem. - Darlene from Texas has a flagstone patio with uneven stones and nothing between the cracks. - Carl from Massachusetts emailed us about a foul odor coming from his newly installed dishwasher. This is often due to bio-gas buildup, and we have tips on how to clean those trouble spots.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question? We'd love to help!

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! One day Aaron found a wet spot in the yard and started wondering where this spot could have come from. After some searching Aaron realized the water was coming from the septic tank at his house. Aaron instantly went into a downward spiral about having to get the whole system replaced. Instead of jumping the gun and calling in a company to dig it all up, Aaron and his wife Renee, along with their son Marcus started digging to see if they could find the problem. Boy did they ever find a problem. To make a long story short, they snaked the drain field lines and removed over 60 gallons of nasty, smelly, grease! Hear the story in their own words as they tell the harrowing tail of They Removing 60 Gallons of Flubber From the Backyard.  **Please give the podcast a 5 star rating and review in Apple Podcasts.** Give Me Your Feedback: http://www.linktr.ee/lansinglawnservice     GREEN FROG WEB DESIGN SPECIFICALLY FOR LAWN CARE *Your First Month is ONLY $1.00* https://greenfrogwebdesign.com/ Buy Me A Coffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/mowinginthedark    Michigan Maple Coffee: https://amzn.to/4eQZzSR Check out my business websites: www.lansinglawnservice.com www.gravelblasters.com , www.sutterbrotherslawncare.com   Check out My Favorite Lawn Care Gear: Werner, AC78, Quickclick Stabilizer, Aluminum https://amzn.to/2OTOfMf Wonder Grip WG318L Liquid-Proof Double-Coated/Dipped Natural Latex Rubber Work Gloves 13-Gauge Seamless Nylon, Large, Large https://amzn.to/2Ytjml6 Hodenn Zero Turn Lawn Mower Hitch - Fits Ariens & Gravely ZT-X: https://amzn.to/3jJmEua ECHO Black Diamond Trimmer Line: https://amzn.to/2GBEL7d

How does a landscape maintenance expert become an indispensable ally in the cemetery care industry? Don Winsett, a strategy consultant and executive coach, discussed his journey from working with Davey Tree Expert Company to supporting the death care industry. His focus on enhancing cemetery maintenance practices reflects his passion for aiding communities in maintaining serene memorial spaces. By leveraging his extensive experience, he helps businesses navigate the complexities of perpetual care. Key Takeaways 1. Cemetery care involves much more than just mowing the lawn. It requires a team of professionals managing plant health, tree health, erosion, and infestations to ensure safety and aesthetic beauty. 2. Trees are central to cemetery landscapes but require careful monitoring to prevent hazards such as falling branches. Proper tree care is crucial for safety and maintaining the tranquility of the cemetery. 3. Continuous maintenance of cemeteries is essential to prevent overgrowth and deterioration. This involves regularly reinvesting earnings from plot sales into maintaining the grounds indefinitely. 4. The serene and well-maintained environment of cemeteries plays a vital role in the healing process for visitors, ensuring they have a peaceful place for reflection. 5. Hiring a single company to handle all aspects of landscape maintenance in cemeteries avoids confusion, reduces complications, and ensures consistency in care. This comprehensive approach is more efficient and cost-effective in the long term.

In this episode, Keith Kalfas reveals how setting a $700 job minimum transformed his landscaping business—and how it can do the same for yours. If you've been undercharging, afraid to raise prices, or stuck in the “lowball trap,” this episode is your wake-up call.
