Show Notes

In this episode, we continue with Part II of our series on equipment with returning guest Seth Pflum, President of Grunder Landscaping. While we love seeing fleet pictures, we also believe that trucks and equipment are investments for the success of our company. By investing smartly in these tools, we can have the greatest returns. Tune in to hear Marty and Seth share how the team at Grunder Landscaping evaluates if a new, or additional, piece of equipment is needed and how its purchase could impact productivity.  If you missed Part I, there’s a link below in the resources section.
