Is business slow?

Really busy here. Maryland.

7 or 8 weeks booked at our current crew size.

Had about 3 weeks of work lined up all winter, but I heard many of the other companies here were only working 2 or 3 days a week for most of this past winter.

Hard to keep up with the calls right now.

What are you doing that has you booked 8 weeks out?
How diverse are your services?
Did you get a lot of storm damage this winter?

Sean,
Having owned and operated a business in Oly for 4 years I would say that the end of summer/beginning of school was a slow down. And the others that you mentioned and the obvious winter holiday season. I always stayed busy in Jan-March pruning apple trees.

Fruit trees were really good to us this year. Funny how much I got by changing my craigslist posting "Fruit tree pruning." in to "Now is the time for fruit tree pruning". The power of suggestive advertising, I guess.

Still slow. The WA state budget just passed for the next two years. A lot of state layoffs, 'cause, guess what, the state's broke. Phone's slow, but still getting a few calls, and emails, but not much.
