MWHC,<p>I think the key is not &quot;finding a day when everbody's happy&quot; as &quot;finding a day when YOU (the contractor) are happy&quot;<p>Be diplomatic, accomodate where you can, but don't increase your drive time.<p>I actually told one customer a few years ago that we offered a custom day scheduling option for mowing. She was very interested until I told her the price would be 18.50/week extra.

I have a mixed bag of customers. I do business's on monday and tuesday.(they want the lawn to look great for that week's business)Apt. complexes and condo's on tuesday and wednesday. And residential on thurs. and fri. and sat.<br>It helps that i live in a smaller city for grouping my accounts, but i try to stay with this method as much as possible.

I ran the same as slanger try to keep res. towards end of the week and do condos and comm. towards begin of the week. Plus I ran 2 crews on thursday and friday. But in the same ran if I have a house next to a comm. I will mow it same day as comm. will not drive back to due later in the week. As far as rain goes we still cut unless it a complete down pour the crws still work. Hoildays we put res. on top of the list when it comes to hoildays. We can do comm. on hoildays if need be.
