Well that’s something you don’t see everyday. A plane landed on the sawgrass expressway due to mechanical issues. Thank goodness the pilot was safe. Nice landing job buddy!
We are proud to announce the opening of our Palm Beach County Irrigation Division located in Jupiter, Fl. We could not of accomplished this without our amazing employees and loyal customers. Thanks for all the support throughout the years.
To all the teachers working from home or in the classroom...Thank you. Thank you for all you do. Truly. We recently started homeschooling our children and don't know how you do it. Teaching 2 kids is hard enough, let alone 20+ during an e-learning pandemic nightmare. If you are a teacher during this crazy time and need any irrigation work done at your house...call us. Mention this post and get 15% off any service.
Now you see it...Now you don’t! Nothing gets in our way of providing water to where our customers need it. #ecww #lawnsprinklers #everythingneedswater
Amazing what a little love and water can do. #ecww. #everythingneedswater

It’s a perfect day for golfing! Unfortunately instead of golfing on this beautiful course we’re digging trenches.
Dam time change

A little landscape lighting can go a long way. Call us today for a free estimate. 754-229-8717
Say hello to the newest member of the East Coast Water Works Family. Smokey Robinson.
Feeling blessed to have such beautiful weather lately.
What’s the point of fancy landscape if it’s only nice to look at? Try planting a rosemary bush instead of a ficus hedge or thyme as a ground covering. Beautiful and useful. When you ready to plant remembered call us for water! 754-229-8717

A CONVERSATION ABOUT PERCEIVED VALUE:
A customer asked a contractor friend of mine how much it would cost to do this project.
My friend gave him a proposal: $4500
The customer responded: That’s seems really high.
My friend asked: What do you think is a reasonable price for this job?
The customer answered: $2500 maximum
My friend responded: Ok, then I invite you to do it yourself.
The customer answered: I don't know how to.
My friend responded: Alright, then how about for $2500 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you $2000, you'll learn valuable skills that will benefit you in the future.
The customer answered: Sounds good! Let’s do it!
My friend responded: Great! To get started, you are going to need some tools. You will need a chop saw, table saw, cordless drill, bit set, router, skill saw, jig saw, tool belt, hammer, etc..
The customer answered: But I don't have any of those tools and I can't justify buying all of these for one job.
My friend responded: Ok. Well then for an additional $300 I can rent my tools to you to use for this project.
The customer answered: Okay. That’s fair.
My friend responded: Great! We will start the project on Monday.
The customer answered: I work Monday through Friday. I’m only available on the weekends.
My friend responded: If you want to learn from me then you will need to work when I work. This project will take 3 days so you will need to take 3 days off work.
The customer answered: That means I’m going to have to sacrifice my pay for 3 days or use my vacation time!
My friend responded: That’s true. Remember, when you do a job yourself you need to account for unproductive factors.
The customer answered: What do you mean by that?
My friend responded: Doing a job completely from start to finish includes time spent to plan the project, pick up materials, travel time, gas, set up time, clean up, and waste disposal amongst other things. That’s all in addition to the actual project itself. And speaking of materials, that’s where we will start on Monday so I need you to meet me at the lumberyard at 6:00am.
The customer answered: At 6am?!! My work day doesn’t usually start until 8am!
My friend responded: Well then you’re in luck! My plan is to start on the deck build by 8am. But to do so we have to start at 6am to get materials picked up, loaded and delivered to your job site.
The customer answered: You know, I’m realizing that a lot more goes in to a job than what a customer sees in the finished project. Your proposal of $4500 is very reasonable. I would like you to handle the project.
CONCLUSION:
When you pay for a job, especially a custom job, (whether it’s a physical project or digital project) you pay not only for the material and the work to be completed. You also pay for:
✔️ Knowledge
✔️ Experience
✔️ Custom Skills
✔️ Tools
✔️ Time to plan
✔️ Time to prepare
✔️ Professionalism
✔️ Work Ethic
✔️ Excellence
✔️ Discipline
✔️ Commitment
✔️ Integrity
✔️ Taxes
✔️ Licenses
✔️ Sacrifices
✔️ Liabilities
✔️ Insurance
If you request a proposal for custom work to be done, please don’t disrespect a service provider by trying to get them to lower their prices.
If their proposal exceeds your budget, there’s nothing wrong with getting other proposals.
Just remember.. you get what you pay for.
👉🏼 SERVICE PROVIDERS: Know your worth and be confident in it.
👉🏼 CONSUMERS: Recognize their worth and be respectful of it.
Sharing this to support all my friends, family and clients who are Entrepreneurs, Business Owners and Tradesman.
Very cool idea.
