The new potential clients are calling everyday, but so many of them live in these HUGE houses and are cheap as hell. First off, how do I compete with a huge landscaping company with one of those dumb mulch blowers? They're prices are much cheaper, but I think the job looks like ****. It washes away after a couple of rains. Our mulch jobs always look absolutely beautiful and stay that way for a year. But no one wants to pay our prices (around $40-$50 a yard). What the hell is wrong with people? we seem to be getting calls from price shoppers so far this year. It's really frustrating me how cheap people are. They tell me they're not happy with their landscaper, but they won't change unless we're the same price or cheaper. I don't get it! Anyone else having this experience? we charge $35 per hour per guy. I think that's pretty damn reasonable. We're right in the middle in our area. UGH!<p>Nicole
