Production Rates: The Number That Decides If You Make Money Ep. #474
Many lawn and landscape companies stay busy all season long but still struggle financially. Why? Because they track revenue, but they ignore the KPI that actually determines profitability: production rate. In this episode, John explains how production rates work, why labor burden changes the math of every job, and how tracking time at the property level can expose which accounts are truly profitable. He also explains how tools like Yardbook’s Job Profitability Report help identify underperforming jobs and what to do about them. If you want to know whether your crews are actually generating profit or simply staying busy, this episode will give you the clarity you need. Comments and Questions are welcome.
