Congratulations. My season will end when I'm either done with fall cleanups or I'm unable to keep doing them due to snow cover. I typically wrap things up mid December. I've only done a few final cleanups and lots more to do. So no end in sight yet.

I plow if it snows. Hasn't happened much the last 2 seasons. I didn't get a single push in of my whole route last winter, just my low tolerance/steep driveways. I think the biggest storm was 2.2 inches. I wish I could find a winter job that gave me the flexibility to take off when it snows...
Nice! Sure ur looking forward to it!

Mine ended around November 9... have a couple little clean ups, and another 10 irrigation systems to install but calling it quits for the year. Had a good year, better than any previous! Dry here in Nebraska, don’t do snow removal. Make all our money from March to November

Our season should end sept 30
Our winter contracts begin oct 15
But we constantly landscape past that deadline and then are never ready for winter
It’s very stressful and feels unprofessional
Sometimes it’s just best to tell people no
IMO establishing and end date to the season should be done , regardless of that the weather does
We get people all the time
Can you come give me an estimate?
For what?
It’s under a foot of snow
I’ll come see you in the spring

Lol that sounds about right! But I agree although here we just don't really get much snow... maybe salting a few times a year.

Ends when the last leaves are picked up. Got down to my last two to finish today. Then two call last night so Monday is my target date. Weather has been unbelievably good this fall so the calls are still coming in. So hoping to end it next week. Then a week of maintenance to put everything to bed for the winter!

I'm usually done by Christmas if we have normal to decent weather. Start back late March early April. Right now I'm just waiting around to do the second round of clean ups. Still have some oaks that are barely green.

I still think an end date is important

I’m still in the trenches. Leaf cleanups and a few cuts.
