My dad's company is a snow removal company and many of his subcontractors do work outside of the snow removal industry, in construction and tree removal services, etc.
The first snow is a sign of the end of the year for most landscape and construction contractors. But for a growing number of contractors, winter brings more opportunities for new business. Although some companies, like True North, only do snow removal, many of its contractors work year-round in neighboring industries like landscaping, tree removal, and construction. For these individuals, snow removal is a seasonal side business.
While snow and ice removal can be profitable for some companies, it is difficult to manage. The nature of the business demands excellent budgeting, planning and communication.
True North is working to better serve its subcontractors by providing a local and organized network through which they can meet others just like them and establish connections. This organizational community would create a link between subcontractors by providing company names, services and contact information in a central location.
An article by the Irrigation and Green Industry said landscape contractors expand into snow and ice removal for a variety of reasons, a primary reason being to carry their companies through the winter and to maintain good employees year after year. It also said that other businesses added snow and ice removal because of pressure to stay competitive by offering year-round services.
The client relationship is one of the primary reasons landscape companies expand into snow and ice removal. If you would like to be added to True North's developing network, please visit this page and list your name and services.
