Lawn Care Together

My take on how I would address getting started on my business for the first time in 2023 using a 5W system, who what when where why. 

By answering those questions you find the deep answer to why you want to get into the industry, what type of business you plan to operate and a good guideline to get you started. It's also the first steps to break free from the information black hole. 

Start now, find the answe...

On today's episode we catch up with where we are at, the season is just about done and we are tying up some loose ends with clean ups. We've had snow, we have more snow in the forecast and the name of the game is make money. Whether we are plowing or doing leaf clean ups, we just want to keep churning the money pot!

What do you need to get started plowing? What if I only have a 1/2 ton truck or a 1500 or F150? Wh...

We had a Special Guest Austin Larsen from VIKING SEWER REHAB  on today to talk about starting a business in another industry and the similarities and differences of what it's like. It really goes to show that all businesses grow from similar seeds.

Special thanks to Chad Counterman for joining us on the show as well to add to the conversation. 

This is a great episode packed with A LOT of info about starting,...

Hey LCT Fans, friends, and family! We talk about maintenance and the problems we've faced this season with constant issues, things breaking, and needing to be prepared. Enjoy the episode and make sure you keep up with your preventative maintenance plans and ensure you budget in maintenance to your contracts/bids! Otherwise you'll be paying out of pocket for all the simple fixes! 

Ever heard of death by a thousand...

Special thanks to Tony's Lawn care for the video footage to watch what was going on at EQUIP since we weren't able to make it. 

Electric equipment seemed to be the big topic this year at EQUIP and for BIG reasons. Some a little hotter than others (if you know you know), but the new mowers coming to market and the new hand held equipment is going to revolutionize our industry. Personally I think gas is here to sta...

Facebook groups and instagram among the other social medias can be ruthless for new entrepreneurs, content creators and the like. The can also be valuable resources. Don't be the guy/girl who has nothing positive to contribute. Everybody starts somewhere, let's grow together. 

Talk a little more about the F250 we purchased and why it makes sense. I'll have more of a breakdown of the truck to come.

You ever just disappear for a while, just to come back with a bang?

Hello y'all and welcome to the Lawn Care Together podcast! I've been slacking since having a baby, but here we are, business is BOOMIN and I'm exhausted. The heat doesn't help. But, the show must go on, so please listen in and enjoy the show as we talk about profitability, route density, hedge trimming, county extension classes, and mo...

There's a few exceptions to the rule, but at the end of the day, weekly lawns are better for everyone. The grass is healthier, the customer is always happy, your schedule is consistent and more. Listen in for the details on today's episode!

Ever feel like you're in the truck more than you are mowing? Solve that problem with ROUTE DENSITY! Thanks for listening to our infomercial! But really, if you want to cut time out of your day, speed up your lawns and make the day go fast but end the day with more money, route density is the answer. Start with what you can get and grow.

A friend (of the show) once said, "Lose more sleep". That's Brian Fullerton from Fullerton Unfiltered podcast on how much he works, how he gets it done, and what he knows is necessary to be successful. Its tough love and it's exactly what we need sometimes. Take a listen to hear my perspective.
