(Brown noser) Jk. A cool boss makes all the difference in the world. Rare these days when employers treat you like you're disposable

Hope you have a great wife who takes great care of you!😊 You're a great business man. This video should have a billion likes!! These millennials are more concerned about giving their favorite celebrity clicks and views instead of researching guys like this who really started from the bottom but came up by doing it the LEGIT way. It don't have to be law care business but this could be the blueprint for anyone who need that inspiration to start their own business. Great job!!👏👏👏👏👏

Congratulations to him on his success! A million dollars per year! That’s a lot of grass! Give the best service to your customers, get those referrals, and you’ll never run out of customers. Customer service is the most important thing for any business, and you seem to be doing it right. Many great ideas were expressed in this video, from the trucks he uses, to the phone service he uses to get new business.

Guy seem’s super humble , good to see someone like that make it !

He came a long ways from his other business to merging to then this. Solid stuff. Great job on the interview!

It's a big operation he's got going on! The expenses are there I'm sure! Hopefully he can continue bringing in the revenue to cover everything. I'd like to get around 50-60 reliable yards and I'll be happy!

Thanks for sharing this important message to all of us Lawnscape Business owner’s.. Thanks for your time plus the in and out of our business..

Respect I started around same time 6 I’m 22 now this makes me want to hit overdrive and go get it this year!

This is an awesome video very helpful. Lots of great ideas and tips.. I would love to ask him a couple questions. As right now I am working a stable job making over 20 per hour. But at the same time have over 40 customers. Trying to make the decision to leave my current job and do lawn care full time. Just kind of scared to be honest to make that jump. Keep these videos coming, very inspiring..

I worked for a landscaping company for over 15 years than i started doing jobs on the side until it came down to either staying at the company or quit to dedicate to my own company full time than i took the decicion and quit the company its been 5 years now im really busy and making more money it was the hardest decicion to quit but life is full of risks you have to take those risks and see were you can go

That lawn business is insane

You’re successful life makes me realize that I’m lazy, and I need to step up and take my business all that way to the top, if you did it I can do it 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

I live close by Tyler I go there all the time great job man!!

Excellent video!

I have some questions for you. 1. What CRM software do you use. 2. Who builds your landscaping beds for your trucks. You have a very nice setup.

I have used call service as well. It does take a lot off of your plate.

You are awesome!!! I wish I lived there!!

I've been doing this for 30 years. I went through the same cycle, but when I hit 12 employees, I changed my direction to be a minimalist. I now have just one, year round employee and personally make more money than I ever did with 12. I can't imagine the headaches you must have with all that overhead and 1000's of customers. Just wanted to know if you ever considered downsizing.

Awesome video

Great video

He has all his ducks in a row. A very wise fellow

Marvin and I were both in SA academy. We run similar trucks.

Hi sir I wanted to ask if you can give some advice on how to bid for commercial mowing I got a call from churches chicken asking for just lawn service.

QUESTION: How would your call center of you quote a mulch job or clean up job without seeing the property? How would you know quantity of mulch or amount of clean up needed for example?

@LawnCareRookie

4 жыл бұрын

He only has them quote easily measurable services like mowing and fertilization, which are the main calls. Anything where turf square footage is needed can be measured online. The rest he does in person, like commercial property walkthroughs with management or owner. But there are also endless customer service calls that can be handled like billing questions. Like I personally get calls and emails about resending invoices out wanting to pay their bill. Lots of wasted time on the phone when can center can just tell them what to do for you.

This guy has it figured out...I like the part where he talks about how he grew his biz and he tells the story of a guy that went out and spent 80k on a bunch of new equipment with only 6 lawns ! I see all these You Tube landscapers and they buy a new mower every season and they gotta have the new backpack blower on the market even though they already have one and I just laugh ! I have the same Mower from 8 years ago bought and paid for and it runs amazing..The new backpack blower never gets used cuz we just end up grabbing the hand helds cuz they are faster and lighter. Im gonna look into eliminating all trailers and go with a cab overs. Great interview very insightful

Hello have a question we are looking into upgrading to a npr landscaping truck. Please give me an advise. How big of a size engine we need and size truck. My opinion I'm thinking a crew cab with a 4.2 engine power. What do you think?

Whats the name of your company?

1.5 mil but what percentage is his takehome/net?

My question is all on the legal/taxes/financial side. How can you guys afford to function and operate without having Uncle Sam take all of your profit away in taxes? That’s the only thing stopping me from growing from just me to having 25 guys work for me. I want to be able to offer what the bigger companies offer OR have like benefits and insurance in case something goes wrong or to ensure my employees continue to work for me all while doing it legally (no tax fraud but paying less as possible in taxes legally). That’s what prevented my father from growing and I want to see if it’s actually worth growing beyond just me working on my own clients yards. Maybe this is a personal question but I thought I might ask anyway.

You have to know your numbers. Charge the right prices so after expenses, there's a healthy profit margin.

How many lawncare accounts do you have??

My question is, is the 1 mil after expenses and shit ? Or is that before expenses, and how much of it does he take home?

@LawnCareRookie

3 жыл бұрын

That's top line revenue. Didn't ask what his salary was. That's really up to the owner to decide how much they want to take home and how much they want to keep reinvesting into the business.

He seems like a great guy to work for and considering his yearly revenue. That can be hard to find. I’ve watched other videos of lawn companies in this income bracket. Lets just say one of those was very disappointing to watch. The owner didn’t seem to care as much for employees.
