People often
wonder what we do in the off season to keep us busy. We do not do snow removal
or ice control. The off season is a good time to look at operations and make
changes if necessary for next season. We will redo routes and look at our
marketing strategies. The winter is a very good time to look at the whole
picture and see how the company is doing all together. Of course, I get some
time to relax and do a little traveling.
We went to
Gulf Shores, Alabama this off season and enjoyed some much-needed rest and
relaxation. The weather was good besides some rainy days. I like going to this
area in the winter as there isn`t as many people down there. It`s mostly a lot
of snow birds getting away from the winter weather. Now since I`m back I will
be doing some work around the house and focusing on my studies. Winter is an
enjoyable time to spend with family and friends. Then it will soon be time to
get ready for next season as spring will be here before you know it.
Some
landscaping companies will do snow removal or maintenance to keep their
employees busy in the winter months. This is time when they will make any
necessary changes and have a hiring campaign to bring on employees for the next
season.
