How Top Teams Improve Landscape Enhancement Margins

BomData has historically focused on maintenance crew efficiency—but with the newly added ability to rank leaderboards by property, customers are now uncovering valuable insights from their weekly enhancement jobs as well. Let’s walk through how they’re doing it and what they’re learning.

Why Review Enhancements Weekly? 

Enhancement work is tough to improve week over week. Every job is different, and once it’s done, it’s tempting to move on. What’s done is done, right?

Not quite.

Your gut might tell you how a job went, but BomData gives you the evidence—the real numbers—to back it up. And that’s where growth happens. Structured team reviews help you spot patterns, fix inefficiencies, and repeat what’s working. Over time, that builds a smarter, more consistent operation.

How BomData makes Retrospectives Easy

With BomData’s property-level rankings, you can:

• Instantly see which enhancement jobs closed last week.
• Compare actual hours to estimated hours.
• Sort properties by most over or under budget.
• Quickly spot “red” jobs (over hours), “green” jobs (under hours), and “grey” jobs (still open or missing data).
  

With everything in one place, your Monday afternoon team huddle becomes a powerful operational tool.

How to Run a 15-minute Enhancement Retro

Who to invite:
Your operations team, or anyone who can speak to how last week’s enhancement jobs actually went. (It doesn’t have to be the crew, but they need visibility.)

What to review:
Sort BomData’s leaderboard to show:

• 🔴 Red jobs (most over hours) – What caused overages? Delays, scope issues, prep problems?
• 🟢 Green jobs (most under hours) – What worked well? Can you repeat it this week?
• ⚪️ Grey jobs (no ranking) – These had time logged but no closed ticket. Were they supposed to stay open, or do they need to be completed to trigger billing?

How to guide the conversation:
Use a simple, low-prep structure like this:

Option 1: “Start / Stop / Continue”
Ask your team:

• What should we start doing? (New ideas that could help future jobs run better)
• What should we stop doing? (Things that caused problems or slowed us down)
• What should we continue doing? (Tactics or habits that worked well and should become routine)

Option 2: “Good / Bad / Better”
Break it down like this:

• What went well? (Celebrate it—figure out why it worked)
• What didn’t go so well? (Be honest—where did things get off track?)
• What should we do differently next time? (Turn lessons into actions)

Don’t overthink it. A whiteboard, a few notes, and a tight 15 minutes is all it takes. End with clear actions for the week ahead.

Real-World Insight: Data Turns Talk Into Change

“BomData helps us slow down and actually learn from the work we’re doing. Enhancements used to be fire-and-forget. Now we’re building playbooks around what works—like which foreman to assign to high-detail installs or how to better stage materials. It’s subtle, but the impact stacks up fast.”

This is where gut instinct and data come together. Your team knows what happened. But BomData helps you prove it, prioritize it, and improve on it—week after week.

Bonus Tip:
You don’t need to review every job. Start with just the top 3 in red and green. That’s often enough to surface the biggest wins and losses without overwhelming the team.

Efficiency isn’t about guessing. It’s about building habits around what the data tells you—and using those insights to drive the next week forward. With BomData, your enhancement work doesn’t just end when the job is done. It becomes the foundation for smarter work ahead.
