Something I've been doing this Summer and has been well received by customers,..and it's easy enough to do. I have a hand held leaf blower on my rig for blowing off patios and decks and sometimes roofs before cleaning them. Well I've taken that a step further. Now I take a few minutes at the end of any job and clean things up, with the leaf blower..whether it's part of the job or not. I blow sidewalks, decks, patios and driveways off now just to make things look nice. Customers love this kind of stuff,..and it's easy enough.

Thanks Jeff. I have only done that when it was in my hand for something else. Now I will add one more thing for the guys to forget! I can see where the 10 minuets it takes would go a long way.

I worked with guy once who brings a blower and a weedeater, he edges the driveway before pressure washing. Makes it look really neat.

I can see that,..many times sidewalks, driveways and patios have a matted edge of grass along the edge that looks unkempt. I've cleaned sidewalks that had 3"-4" of sidewalk covered due to this.

Basically you transcended into a "landscaper"☺
Nothing wrong with that, I know a ton of landscapers who are far richer than any of us, he'll many are millionaires!
It's one of the best businesses to be in, at least in this area!
