In this episode of the Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast, host Scott Molchan takes on a critical topic for landscapers: understanding the difference between gross and net profit.

Scott shares a recent conversation with a landscaper who was working long hours and struggling to make $60,000 a year. The landscaper had heard others in the industry talk about charging 30-50% profit and wondered if they were doing something wrong. Scott clears up the confusion by explaining the key differences between gross and net profit—and why aiming for 15-20% net profit is a healthy and realistic goal.

In this episode, Scott breaks down how to calculate both gross and net profit and explains why many landscapers are likely quoting gross profit numbers, not net. He also warns listeners about the dangers of taking advice from others who may not know their own numbers, especially when it comes to what’s being said online.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about your pricing or wondered if you’re leaving money on the table, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you better understand your numbers and charge with confidence.
