I am the CEO of Scooter's Lawn Care, Inc.: an award-winning lawn care, landscaping, and home service company with locations in central Illinois and southwest Florida.
I help others scale their lives, relationships & businesses on KZread, on the GROW by Design podcast, in 1:1 coaching calls, and in my coaching group GROW Comm.
I first started my lawn care business part-time in 2014, while working full-time in the autobody industry. In 2015, I quit my job (with a pregnant fiancee) and risked everything to go full-time.
By 2019, Scooter's Lawn Care, Inc. was an award-winning, seven-figure company in Springfield, Illinois.
In 2021, I once again started from the ground up with a second location expansion in Cape Coral, Florida. By month three, my team was hitting $50,000/mo in revenue - climbing up on $100,000/mo before the first year's end. In under two years, my second location was selling over $200,000 in lawn care & landscaping services each month.
I share the wins and losses in our business journey - along with proven strategies to scale - on KZread to help others grow.
I coach others during 1:1 calls (bit.ly/3sczUgN) and in my private coaching group, GROW Comm.
GROW Comm is a one-of-a-kind, value-packed business growth training center, and networking community designed to scale service companies to seven-figures and create success & abundance in all areas of life.

    How do you estimate your labor? Are you keeping track of each job and developing an average? Per linear foot, Sq ft, yard, ect..?

    All estimates have matrixes for the different parts of labor. Prep, rock installation, fabric install and so on. The all calculate based off of square footage or linear foot. All of that is based off of historical data. And we job cost ever project for all of our commission payouts and continually make adjustment’s.
