  If you decided to take tomorrow off, what would happen to your landscaping company? Would the crews still roll out? Would the estimates still get sent?

In this episode you'll learn: •Why promoting your fastest worker to crew leader often backfires •The 3 pieces of information every crew leader must have before they leave the shop •Why hiding your material budget from your crews is actually costing you money •How to train your crews to handle the "while you're here" customer requests •The "Three Before Me" rule that will instantly stop your phone from ringing all day Resources Mentioned: •LeadSpeed Marketing — automate your lead follow-up so you have time to train your team: leadspeed.io If this episode helped you, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify — it helps us reach more landscaping owners just like you.

  $1.30 a Gallon vs. $4.00 a Gallon — Why Landscapers Are Switching to Propane- MDL Episode 412

  Jul 17, 202634 min

  Fuel costs are quietly eating away at your profit every single week — and most landscapers just accept it as the cost of doing business. But what if you could cut your fuel costs by more than half, get your crews on the job site faster, and actually win more bids because you're running a cleaner, greener operation? In this episode, Scott sits down with Michael Newland from PERC, the Propane Education & Research Council, to break down everything a lawn care or landscape business owner needs to know about propane-powered commercial mowing equipment. They cover the real numbers — commercial accounts running propane at under $1.30 a gallon while gasoline sits near $4 — and why the companies that make the switch almost never go back. Michael also walks through the fueling logistics that scare most people off (spoiler: it's easier than you think), how EPA-certified conversion kits work for almost every major mower brand, what the safety basics look like, and how you can try propane equipment on your own accounts for free through PERC's national demonstration program. If you've been watching your fuel bill climb and wondering if there's a better way, this episode is for you. What you'll learn in this episode: •Why commercial fleets are running propane at under $1.30 a gallon while others pay $4 or more for gasoline •The three ways to handle propane fueling — from simple cylinder exchange to on-site bulk systems •How propane burns so clean it can extend engine life and reduce maintenance costs •Which major mower brands (Exmark, Toro, John Deere, and more) can be converted with EPA-certified kits •The hidden productivity cost of sending crews to the gas station every day •Safety basics for storing, transporting, and swapping cylinders on the job •How to apply for PERC's free demo program and try propane on your own properties Connect with Michael Newland and PERC: Website: propane.com Email: michael.newland@propane.com Demo Program: Search "propane landscape demonstration program" at propane.com and click Apply Now Follow Million Dollar Landscaper: Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube #MillionDollarLandscaper #LandscapingBusiness #LawnCareBusiness #Propane #savemoney #savefuelcosts
