Stop Doing $12/Hour Tasks: How VAs Help Landscapers Win Back Time- MDL Episode 365

You’re running jobs, meeting with clients, and trying to keep your crew on track. But meanwhile, the admin side of your business is stacking up—emails, invoices, scheduling, social media, customer follow-ups. Before you know it, you’re buried in $12/hour tasks while the big money jobs get put on hold.

 

In this episode, Scott sits down with Derek Shaw and Kelli Anh of Hyre (formerly Hey Lieu) to show landscapers how Virtual Assistants (VAs) can save you from burnout and help you grow faster.

 

You’ll learn:

✅ The 3 smartest ways landscapers are using VAs right now

✅ Real-world examples of how VAs handle bookkeeping, scheduling, social media, and customer follow-up

✅ How VAs can support your crew in the field—so techs focus on the work, not the paperwork

✅ Simple steps to delegate without losing control of your business

✅ Why holding onto every task yourself is costing you money

 

If you’re stuck doing everything on your own—or you’ve hit that awkward stage where you can’t yet afford another hire—this episode will show you a better way.

 

Quick win: Hand off one repetitive task (like scheduling or social posts) to a VA and get hours back in your week immediately.
