Drainage problem solved! 💧We installed a French drain to fix a drainage issue between two properties. To finish the project, we also cleaned up the yard, refreshed the pea gravel, and installed fresh bark dust.
Another happy landscape!

📊 QuickBooks Tip Tuesday: Job costing & project tracking (know what's actually profitable)

You can be busy and still lose money if you don't track project profitability.

✅ Tip: Use QuickBooks' project or class tracking to see real margins.
• Set up Projects or Classes for each job or service line
• Assign all income and expenses to the correct project
• Review project profitability reports monthly
• Use insights to adjust pricing, cut unprofitable work, or streamline processes

💡 Why it matters: Without project tracking, you're guessing which work makes money—and which drains resources.

If you want help setting up job costing or analyzing profitability, book a free evaluation.

This is more than landscaping…
It’s a place to relax, listen to the water, and watch butterflies land on your flowers.

Local traveling coffee truck Tom's Traveling Coffee Truck stop by our Prairie location here in Vancouver, and it was the perfect mid-day pick-me-up for our guys at Mackin's Auto Body - Prairie.
This is SUCH an easy way to show your team appreciation. A coffee cart visit says:
We see your hard work
We value you
We're grateful
Supporting local businesses while pouring into your own team? That's a win-win.
Huge thank you to Tom for collaborating with us and taking care of our crew today. If you're in the Vancouver, WA area and want to treat your employees (or clients!) to something special, definitely look into booking a local traveling coffee truck.
