<\/p>\nThe extreme summer heat has taken its toll on gardens and there is a lot of work going on restoring gardens to their glory. Once again, \u00a0we are seeing green lawns and mowing is in full swing.<\/p>\n
\u201c High Summer felt quite different business-wise this year, with the extreme heat and its impact on mowing. However, with the way the Ed\u2019s business model works, I found it really easy to cross-sell other services and my figures were on track even when the thermometer was hitting 34 degrees. \u201c<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat it\u2019s meant though is that much of the ‘normal’ summer demand is kicking in now. There is a lot of mowing going on at the moment \u00a0. September is usually \u00a0a fairly busy month but this year has been amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not complaining about lots of mowing though. It\u2019s great to see lawns looking green and lustrous again. And I enjoy nothing more than creating some mean stripes!\u201d (Just a reminder of what Dave’s stripes look like…)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just lawns though. I\u2019m really busy with lots of varied jobs at the moment. With all the sunshine, punctuated by some showers, everything is growing like crazy at the moment!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHere\u2019s a hedge I recently did too. I tried my best not to disturb its inhabitants too much!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoy being an Ed\u2019s Operator all year round but this is an especially fun time of year. The weather is lovely but not too hot and the late summer growth spurt gives us a lot of opportunity to make gardens look great again. I love seeing them transform before my eyes. It’s very much looking like the current activity levels will continue through to October too. I\u2019m just hoping I manage to get my diary clear for Christmas! \u00a0To be honest, I\u2019m only half joking. Last year some of our Operators were working right up until Christmas Eve. Seasonality \u2013 what\u2019s that?!\u201d<\/p>\n
