What we do in the off season.

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.
