Yeah, I think it's just something that I'm gonna have to overcome to make money in this business.....I've always tried to do everything "to the T" but I think I need to let a little slide in some situations.
Leaf Cleanup Expectations
I'm new to this business and was wondering what everyone else tries to accomplish in a leaf cleanup. I mean do you try to get every single leaf? Maybe I need to explain a little: I've been doing cleanups here and I bid for a certain amout of time, but then, once I get going I find myself taking way longer than I should because some leaves are small and stuck in the Bermuda and very difficult to blow out. I dunno. I am a solo, so I know I'm not gonna be super fast or anything, but I think maybe I'm trying to get things TOO perfect. Any thoughts?

That's exactly what I was thinking, Darryl. I can get 90 to 95 percent of everything easily. It's that last 5 percent that bugs me. I guess I just need to let it go, but it's easier said than done. Gonna take some practice!

Thanks for the replies. Just knowing that this is the norm will ease my mind a lot.

I also have a place to dump leaves/clippings for free, but it's a few miles outside of town. Still, it saves me a few bucks. I have a landscape trailer and I just fill it up, starting at the front and working toward the back, until there's barely enough room for the mowers. With the 4 ft. sides, I can get a lot in there before I have to dump.
