we had a few years back guys getting into that concrete curbing thing where you buy the whole package with the equipment and you sell the concrete curbs that are used around beds and bordering drives and such.
it was a pretty slick set up and they had different forms for the machine and all diferent styles.

when it is done it looks real nice and after the first winter the freeze heaves it all around it it cracks and falls apart.
I think you are the first person here to bring that up. I never understood that service either. In any any area where the ground freezes, I would think you need to put in a footing that is below the frost line before you put in any sort of curbing. To think you could just run some concrete along a border that rests right on top of the ground was laughable to me. Now I see that it didn't work. Very very interesting.

Lawn care business tips
Nope. I worry about Saber Lawncare and what Saber LawnCare does.

if someone else is worrying about Saber LawnCare..one thing is happening...

1- My name is out there in a positive manner and my competition sees me as competition.

Anything else is trivial and my customers don't deserve my attention being diverted in that way.

Troy,

I could see how this might be an issue, especially if you find a bunch of other companies in your area follow your every move and try to position themselves where you are.

Have you ever found any of them trying to do that?
