Transcript of a behind-the-scenes planning conversation for a small lawn care/landscaping business. Two speakers coordinate crew assignments (who goes where on which day), equipment needs (jackhammer rental, supplies pickup), client estimate/status updates (e.g., Gary McKenna accepted an estimate), and sequencing for projects (boulder wall, flagstone, cleanups). The tone is operational and detail-focused.
Chapters
So you said we put it next spring.
Yes, So I told him. I put a note to get it in the next spring. And then I have Matt take a picture of the spot and I'll put it in their profile just so we know the spot next year.
Okay. And then you just make it to do in March. Whatever I say, refer to picture. Right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay. So tomorrow Riley's at Bliss.
Warner is gonna be mat.
If we need to, we can add another person there.
We have the Donnelley's which is going to be Ben.
Ben and somebody. So you move that. Then you got.
Jan. Cuz you know, at least Aaron's going to be there.
And I. I'll put Russell there, I think. Really? I think so.
Okay.
Figure out the rest of those. But we'll plan on Matt going with you to the Barons.
Well, that would be probably Chris.
Yeah.
And Barons.
Just.
Okay.
And then I did contact John to see how his back was. I said if it's just okay, I can put him on a mulle route and if he felt strong enough, I'd put him on something.
Do you have enough mows for Thursday?
No, I'm moving them from Friday.
It's not a bad thing.
Yeah. So I would do one route from Friday on Thursday and Matt and someone would.
I can figure that out.
So as far as filling this in though, you have Garrison, you can fill in.
Where did you want Josh.
Originally? Josh was gonna have to be at this job, but Aaron would like to have him.
Okay.
If possible.
Yeah.
So those three for sure would be there. And then Ben is gonna let me know this afternoon.
He could probably have Charlie.
No, Charlie's little girl is having surgery, so he won't be here. Austin will be here at 10.
So I'd probably.
What if Austin wouldn't help Ben because he's there today.
Yeah. So when he comes, just go to.
The only thing that can mess all this up is if is the mower out right. We need someone to go to John.
Which would need to be Russell.
Actually. No one needs to mow. Needs to.
Right.
Yeah.
So I can figure that out. My main thing was the going to Northstar, making sure we had all the products. And if you don't need boulders for.
Yeah, like Aaron kind of felt like he keep like three, four people just on the painters at this point. So I don't mind finishing it. Like he kind of thinks he can finish it, but when they get to the cutting, you know, one or two can be cutting. They could be starting on the boulders.
Okay. So Friday for sure. Somebody would start on the boulder wall probably.
Like, if he needs people, we need to put people on the job.
Okay. Now the. The Warners for the actual flagstone are building the wall. Did you feel like you need to.
Have Josh there for the building on the wall? So.
Yeah.
So Friday.
Okay. I was kind of wanting Jo, but it's okay. I can put somebody else with him. That's gonna be his first full day.
So we can do that Monday. He can mow Monday.
If you want Josh there, that's fine.
Well, would he be with Josh on the standard?
That doesn't matter. It's just. I want him with Josh at some point.
I wouldn't mind him doing this the first day. Different than what he's doing with Josh. Yeah. So on the boulder wall, he'd basically be using the rocks and stuff and then placing it on Josh.
That would. Okay, so let's plan on that Friday.
Okay.
Because if Matt leaves, does the cleanup, and then Matt leaves with you for two hours to help with the Barons and comes back and does the cleanup, then would that be enough for Josh and Brad to finish that on Friday?
Oh, yeah. It'll take him at least a day or two to do that. Like, there's a good. There's a chance that Matt finishes the stash than expected. And then Josh needs to go over there tomorrow. But I don't see that happening simply because now we've got Barron's name.
Okay.
So he can go there, clean it all up, dump it all at rds, and then go across the north. The first load of what Holders back.
Okay.
And I'll go with him over it in the morning. As far as, like, size, shape, what they need to look like. So you can at least bring a load back.
So I'll contact the Warners and tell them we're coming. That you'll go over the job. And then Matt will be leaving for just a little bit to help on another project. But then he'll be back.
Yeah. Or even he'll be like, going to pick up supplies. Like he's going to be going back again to get North Star jump off dump. You can just say Maui back and forth to the dump and picking up supplies for the rest of the job.
Okay, got it. But he'll be leaving pretty soon after because the the is coming at 9, right?
Oh, yeah. He'd be leaving right when I leave. Basically we get over there 8:30 right away.
Yeah. Okay.
We've got a guy jet out of here, so.
So I'll put this all together. And there may not be a mowing walk depending on what I hear from John, how he's feeling.
I might just put him on one of these. But I'll rent the jackhammer for Riley. You're gonna need to show him that too.
Riley jackhammer?
Yeah. Or do you need to show him?
He knows exactly what needs to happen. He just. That' with Riley on it. Cuz he knows what needs to come out. And then the glue thing, he knows what needs to happen too. Okay, so I have the glue, I have the gun thing for it. He just need to get shown how you jackhammer after value.
Okay. Okay, I'll have them show.
Yeah. So I think he's fine. I'll walk him through in the morning, like verbally and just make sure he's fine. I think he'll be okay. And what's his name? Bliss is okay with Riley.
Okay. Okay.
And Riley loves him for sure.
Fun times. All right, I'll get it all and then you can look at it later and slide on the crows.
Anything else?
Else?
Lisa Vander Yard sent an email. I was going to put her on the schedule. Yeah, Gary McKenna accepted his estimate. Whatever you guys met with him about today, I see.
Oh yeah.
Okay, so she's good with the quote, but she wants to tweak it. You guys look at the dead shrubs to be taken out and hauled. We look at the shrubs to be dug up. No leftover is. I'd like to dig the dead shrubs up and make a pile of hall and add the two blue star universe to digging comp list. There are smallish ground covers that are also prone to scale. I would also like a referral for the disease and pest tree sprayer which I had given her. Gordy. And Gordy came. Yeah, but it looks like he didn't.
Hit it three times in succession. I'll just leave that. I'll just text Gordy and ask him to connect with her.
No, no, no. Like it seems like she didn't really like Gordy.
Okay.
So I would say.
I don't know. I don't really want to give anyone else because we never use them.
That's what I'll tell her. So we don't really know. So she can just google it or call her.
Yeah, there's. You could say a few, but then just say we never use them. We can't really refer them. We've always used 40.
Okay.
As far as other piles, the little junipers, those are no problem. Glados list. There shouldn't be any extra charge. It won't take too much longer.
Okay, then I'll put that on the schedule. Other than that, you can rerun guys, check if you need to call.
Call we, I guess.
Right? Yeah.
I don't even know how that's possible. I've never even heard of that being done.
So he said there's a new federal law that the bank will just automatically transfer from other accounts or pull from other accounts. He said all these years they've done that.
Oh, like if one's low, you pull from another.
Yeah, and he said that's always been his arranging.
I think you're allowed to know if it's under the same, like checking the saving, but not across accounts. Okay, well, rerun Guys, check, call bank.
We talked about Josh being with Brad Friday. That's fine.
The meeting. The recording of the meeting this morning. I don't know if that'd be something you'd want to share with Brad.
Well, we have the whole thing on video.
Okay, awesome. And the time of arrival to actually mit the wars, so I already have that answered. So I'll ask.
As long as they just know that Matt's going to be back and forth picking up product and taking the breeding down, then they'll be fine with them meeting. And honestly, I don't think they're going to be there. 90% of the job.
