MEET FERNANDO GASQUE
I know the work.
And the business behind it.
I grew from field work into landscape sales and operations leadership. My experience covers finding customers, negotiating commercial work, leading crews, improving job costing, and putting better systems into daily operations.
Landscape and lawn care are my foundation. Today, I bring that practical business perspective to owners building service companies. I help them get started, pursue commercial opportunities, and organize a growing team.

Read the guideIs this only for landscape and lawn care companies?
Landscape and lawn care are where my deepest practical experience comes from. I also work with owners in related service businesses, including irrigation, roofing, and pool services, on the business side: sales, operations, customer communication, branding, and systems. We use the first conversation to confirm where my experience fits your needs.
Can you help if I’m just getting started?
Yes. We can begin with your service offer, ideal customer, brand message, basic sales habits, and simple systems for quotes and customer records. You do not need an existing commercial bid to start a conversation.
I do residential work. How can you help me go commercial?
We can work through commercial buyer expectations, finding opportunities, prospecting, proposals, and preparing your operation to deliver the work. Recurring maintenance accounts and construction opportunities that use plans follow different paths; we focus on the one that fits your business.
Can you teach me PlanSwift or help me use PlanHub?
We can scope practical training in plan reading, takeoffs, organizing an estimate, and finding or tracking opportunities through tools such as PlanSwift and PlanHub. You practice the workflow so you can repeat it. Your software subscriptions are separate; this is independent instruction, not vendor certification.
Do I need to buy a new CRM first?
No. We start with the workflow you need to improve and look at what you already use. A spreadsheet, your current CRM, or a different tool may be the right fit. Features, team adoption, integrations, and cost all matter.
What does working together cost?
We begin with a fit call lasting 15 minutes. Then we agree on a focused session, training plan, or defined project, including the scope and fee, before any paid work starts. The work is tailored to your starting point.
Can we work in Spanish?
Sí. Las sesiones están disponibles en español o inglés. Podemos trabajar en cómo iniciar tu negocio, organizarlo y dar el siguiente paso hacia clientes comerciales.
