Hi all: I just spent the last two nights doing my annual spring touch-ups to the gravel driveways. I include a grading with the backhoe in the snow plowing contract. It serves my customers well as they need it at least once a year, and it serves me by securing the contract and I also get the opportunity to get extra work while I'm there. My best was a grading a 600 foot driveway that turned into a two day effort to make parking spots, a ramp to the house and widen the driveway. That work also solved the problem of the driveway narrowing as the winter wore on, and gave me a place to easily stack snow and turn around. I got paid to dig out the stumps that have tripped the plow for years. <p>Does anyone else do innovative in-season or out-of-season services to secure an account??<p>----------<br>John<br>
