How to Start a $1,000,000 Landscaping Business from Scratch
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Have you ever thought about starting a landscaping business? You can make a good living doing it. About 75% of lawn care companies make at least $50K/year and the revenue potential is a lot higher than that. Just ask Mike Andes, founder of the $1 million lawn care business Augusta Lawn Care Services.
Even more impressive, Mike built his landscaping company to a 7-figure revenue at just 24 years old. He’s poised to take his business even further, too, with plans to scale it through franchising. Today, we’ll learn how Mike found this kind of success at such a young age, as well as his advice for anyone who’s looking to get into lawn care.
In this interview, we’ll get into the nitty-gritty of how to start a landscaping business. We’ll find out how much it costs, what equipment you’ll need, and whether you can start a landscaping company with no experience (spoiler: you’ll need less money and training to get started than you might think).
Before you can grow your revenue as a lawn care company, you need to attract customers. Mike will share how he’s built his client base, from the marketing approaches that are best for bringing in new customers to providing service that keeps repeat business coming back. We’ll also hear how he decided which services to offer and what kind of margins you can expect to see.

Started with $500 on my way.
I love how Mike completely changed careers, he was in the medical field and decided to go with entrepreneurship. I just resigned from my job so I can pursue my dream of owning a native garden business. It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who’s made that decision.
found your newer videos and wanted to see where you started. 4 years and the quality of your videos and content is better and better and some of the best.
Really impressive that he's only 24!

He makes sure everyone feels appreciated and valued. This guy has inspired me that the sky is the limit and especially if you create a positive environment. Thank you Upflip for bringing us this amazing person and a great leader. I truly know how to be a better leader now!

I used to watch a show on CNBC called 'Blue Collar Millionaires' (episode previews available on YT) that profiled self-made blue collar millionaires. I loved it but only watched the first season because the second season was never uploaded to the on demand service where I used to watch it before the show was canceled. It'd be great if you interviewed some of the same people they did during the 1st and especially 2nd seasons. It was an awesome show that was very similar to yours so it's worth a look.

@@UpFlip Thanks for taking the suggestion. Most of us can't relate to graduating from ivy league colleges, starting with tens or hundreds of thousands in seed money, or succeeding in the tech or financial industries. So I hope you stay focused more on the self made, shoe string, blue collar types as featured here. It'd also be great if you do profiles on SBDC, Score, SBA and other organizations that help small businesses get off the ground for low or no cost. These types of facilities can be the difference between entrepreneurs building multi million dollar businesses or just having ideas that never even get out of the conceptual phase. Your videos on them could tell us how to use them and maximize their resources.
YT suggested this vid but I did hear about UpFlip from being a David Pakman viewer. Decided to give it a shot because I am a huge Shark Tank fan. I'm a multimedia designer working for local landscaping company and this was a pretty interesting watch. I was mostly interested the branding and marketing insights. Was definitely interesting and helpful! Only point of crticism I have is for the host. He conducted himself very well and asked good questions. But his dress/attire came off as too 'slick' & I kept thinking he was out of place juxtaposed to a landscaping company. Perhaps an Upflip branded t-shirt and a pair of jeans would have worked better? If this vid was about an overpriced, upscale, caviar and coffee shop business sure but landscaping? Just didn't mesh. Dress per the business that is being featured. Either way def going to check out the other vids. Good work!

Andes' story is inspirational. He apparently skipped high skool and went straight to college. This is important. If you want to break out of the box they want to shove you into, you have to blast your way out. Just say NO! The paths we are herded down are, for the most part, fool's games. The sooner we wake up, the better.
Excellent video.

My company is based out of a small town surrounded by 3 rich towns and then a city on the other side. One day we go to the city and do the commercial property’s the next we go to one rich town, then the other the next day, and then the other the day after that. Then we do the local properties.

How’s you go to college at 13?
Owning a business with $1M revenues isnt all it sound like. I watched a vid with an English farmer. He had a big operation. He raised livestock, grew grain & hay he had several revenue streams working for him. He said last year his gross revenues from all his streams came to $1,005,000 pounds. But after he paid all his bills he was left with only $50K pounds for himself. So, making $1M is great, but the trick is keeping $1M. !

Getting started and getting started correctly are 2 totally different things. And even mike from what I’ve watched hasn’t ever told the correct steps to make someone setup an actual business correctly.
