My phone is ringing off the hook! Of course, our weather is averaging low 80's right now, so spring has "sprung" in our neck of the woods.

I haven't had time to compare my this year to my last year, but just rough estimating I've seen a 25-35% increase over this time last year and have work booked until mid-May with more calls/proposals/designs being made daily.

The area I am in is experiencing a large growth surge right now with new housing developments springing up as well as continued growth in existing housing developments. We've also booked a couple of landscape rennovation jobs in the mix.

In February, I did a direct mail to home builders and home owners (I created my own direct mail list by driving past houses and noting those that needed landscape) explaining our services and offerings. I've gotten an average of 2 new leads a day through this mailout!
