Depending on the part of country you are in, it seems to me that a 'backlog" of work is a thing of the past.

Due to the increase in the number of morons getting into the landscape contracting business, the prices have went down, and these yahoos can start a job for a client this afternoon.

We had a 3 week schedule or "backlog" 3 weeks ago, we are now back to about 4 days. In a small, $ 300,000 a year business, that is not good, nor does it allow me a comfortable feeling going into November.

I just keep the marketing program going, and keep making sales efforts.

I need some rain, so some athletic fields get destroyed and we can go in and fix them...
