Filling Fall Backlog....

what kinds of strategies are you guys using to fill up your scheudles for the late season months? we operate in michigan where the season is pretty much done by the end of october. but we can certainly do installtions of patios, walls, etc on into december. my challenge is how to secure work now, when landscaping is the last thing on a homeowner's mind. i do not want to resort to cutting prices significantly to get fall work - i am sure there are some other techniques out there for putting together a backlog of work for the late season. has anyone implemented a strategy like this with any success? thanks,

jim
