Ideally, I want to build to two maintenace crews and one swing crew

Only day we could do anything like that was on Fridays, but even then we only had half the day available as the first half already has maintenance jobs on schedule each week.

Same reason we stopped. Fitting installs in the week is tough, try to put it here, and it rains, or here, and a customer needs their lawn mowed that day. We do a few concrete jobs here and there, but we're in and out in 4-5 hours and it only takes one guy to do them.

We do both we have 1 crew of 2 to do about 4 days of mowing and 1 day for other things like mulch, pruning etc. and the other 2 will do Installs or excavating jobs. and if installs are slow we all go mowing. I like the maintenance because of the steady money and my maintenance rt leads to a lot of install work and vice verse.
