Rain finally hit, so Uncle Greg trimmed 31 lawns in one day without ever starting the mower. That proves trimming, edging and blowing take up more of your week than mowing does. Evan and Greg also cover a Michigan lawn care company whose October pumpkin patch brings in $20k, listener redneck mower fixes that actually hold up, and the best ways to lift a mower for deck cleaning. They talk about why mowing the same direction every week leaves ruts, clients who still get your name wrong, and whether you can retrofit scalp wheels onto a deck that wasn't built for them. Plus a prayer for William Spencer ahead of surgery. RSVP for the Real Lawns, Real People Meet & Eat at Equip Expo, Thursday, Oct. 22 at 5:30 PM. Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch! Look!

Laid off in 2023 and diagnosed with multiple sclerosis months later, Ed Smits lost sight in his right eye and use of his right side. Instead of giving up, he built The Turf Therapist, a science-based lawn care business in Commerce Township, Michigan. Ed shares how a homemade PVC lawn striper, hundreds of door hangers and a used zero turn that blew its engine a month in grew into about 20 lawn clients. We dig into selling soil tests, liquid vs. granular fertilizer, and aeration vs. dethatching and how to price each. Ed also explains why repowering his Exmark Lazer Z for $3,700 beat buying a $17K mower. Plus his advice for new lawn care operators: specialize before you expand. Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch! Look!

A neighbor keeps parking his car on the property line so Evan can't mow his client's lawn, so Evan is letting that strip of grass grow to see how long it takes the neighbor to notice. Plus, a client Evan had offered core aeration to never followed up, then paid her fertilizer company $400 for liquid aeration instead. Evan and Greg break down what liquid aeration actually is (a surfactant wetting agent) and why it won't relieve soil compaction. They also get into a zero-turn flying off a trailer, whether to move election signs and utility flags, senior discounts, and what high gas prices mean for next season's pricing.

Equip Expo 2026 is three weeks out, and OPEI President & CEO Kris Kiser joins Turf Nerds to walk first-timers through it. He covers free parking and shuttles, how to work the Churchill Downs welcome reception, and when the show floor opens. He also gets into the new Equip Academy, Mike Holmes' keynote, the 30-acre demo yard, and why the show will rotate to Orlando in 2029. Before Kris calls in, we compare carbureted and EFI mowers, gripe about $242 Gator blades, and dig into jumping deck belts and spindle problems. We also clear up what's really going on with Hustler and Bad Boy. Save 50% on Equip Expo registration with code TURFNERDS, and meet us at Derby City Pizza on Thursday, Oct. 22 at 5:30 PM.

Evan and Uncle Greg Durbin talk about a big weeding job that came back to bite: why weeds return after a full cleanup, and how to set client expectations and pricing so you don't take the blame. Evan's Toro Multiforce hits 3,100 hours with electrical trouble heading into snow season. The guys also browse live government auctions to see whether a used 2500 or 250 is the smarter lawn care truck. Plus, they cover the underrated Cub Cadet, how a Segway cuts Greg's lot blowing from 20 minutes to 5, Ballard Hybrid Gold blades, rising gas prices, 2027 price increases, and a record-wet fall hammering lawn companies in Iowa.

On this Free-For-All Friday, we cover clients who pay late and skip the late fee, and where to draw the line before firing one. We also talk about why a cheap one-pass mow on foot-tall grass reflects on whoever's name is on the truck. Plus: quoting lawns sight-unseen vs. in person, body cams for crews, a STIHL battery trimmer that died after three lawns, and training a new helper to trim and edge like a pro.

At just 21, Len Jedele runs two green industry businesses, Lennart's Lawn Care and Exotics Landscaping, while earning an entrepreneurship degree at Northwood University and training to become a Delta pilot. Len shares how he started mowing at 15 with a borrowed mower and landed clients by knocking on doors in a subdivision before the lawns were even in. He also explains how a realtor partnership keeps his crew busy with new-construction landscaping. We talk STIHL equipment (including valve adjustments on a two-stroke blower), letting go of a nitpicky client, mini skid steers, and his plan to keep landscaping while flying. His best advice: put family and God first, and just talk to people. Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch! Look! We Have A Website!

Uncle Greg takes the hot seat in Turf Nerds Trimmer Line Terror, our new lawn care trivia game show. It's packed with mower brand history from Toro, Bobcat, Hustler, Wright, ECHO, Viper, STIHL and Gravely, plus a live phone-a-friend with Cameron Duncan. We also debate how sharp your mower blades should really be (razor sharp vs. butter knife) and battle the wind during fall cleanups. There's a neighbor who wiped grass off his car mid-blow, too. Then we talk rising lawn care insurance rates, fuel costs and a bad-gas fix for a blower. Heading to Equip Expo? Join the Turf Nerds meet & eat on Thursday, October 22 at 5:30 PM at Derby City Pizza.

Michael Reed started mowing lawns at 11 with business cards typed out on a typewriter. 31 years later, he runs Neon Pest & Lawn (formerly Quiet Lawn) in Myrtle Beach, SC, a $500K+ business that's 99% recurring revenue with only two full-time field employees. Michael breaks down the AI-powered pricing tool he built himself that quotes and signs up customers with zero on-site estimates, how a virtual overseas team runs his back office, and why Christmas lights now make up 30% of annual revenue. Plus: a decade running battery-powered EGO equipment, mowing out of a wrapped Tesla Model 3, and the weeds giving Carolina coast lawns the most trouble. Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch! Look!

Evan is 31 lawns behind after a soggy week, and one client told him to skip the lawn, then asked why he never showed up. Greg explains how he priced a lawn that hadn't been cut in three weeks, and why he won't bump existing clients for a one-off job. Then they get into fall cleanup gear: can a Ram 1500 handle a Billy Goat debris loader, and how does it compare to the Toro MultiForce leaf vac, a twin bagger or plain tarps? Plus Walker's 200,000th mower, the new Stihl FSA 140 R battery trimmer, when to buy a trimmer, cordless tool talk, the home office tax write-off, killing Bermuda in zoysia, and a countdown to Equip Expo with the TURFNERDS discount.

Gas just spiked to $5.48/gallon, so Evan and Greg dig into whether it's time for a lawn care fuel surcharge, and how to build one into a contract without losing clients. A listener's email sparks a deep dive into LLC vs. S-Corp taxes and the Social Security earnings cap for anyone starting a lawn business near retirement age. Plus: credit card processing fees and slow-pay clients, Toro Multiforce drive tire wear, a defective-feeling Echo T302 trimmer, and surviving a soggy, rain-delayed stretch of mowing season and a live call-in from Wally Woodruff.

Food Network's BBQ Brawl Season 7 champion Bob Trudnak (aka Bobby T) joins Turf Nerds to talk barbecue, business, and everything in between. Bob breaks down helping invent one of the first electronic BBQ temperature controllers, the $50,000 competition mistake that taught him his biggest lesson, and the 58-minute rib trick that left judge Brooke Williamson stunned on national TV. Plus: quick grill recipes for guys coming off a 10-hour mowing day, and Bob flips the script to ask the crew for advice on replacing his 22-year-old mower. Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch! Look!

Evan and Greg break down nearly every lawn care boot on the market: Strauss, Cujo, Red Wing, Ariat, Nortiv8, and more. Arguing over Boa laces, waterproofing, and which brands actually survive a season. Then they tackle a listener's big question: should a solo operator ever grow into a multi-crew business, or is staying solo the smarter play? Plus: diesel prices surge past $6/gallon, rain turns lawns to mush mid-mow, and the guys talk avoiding burnout after 17 years in the business. Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch! Look! We Have A Website!

Thirty years ago Scott Horszowski started Landscapes by Acme with a 20-inch push mower and a side hustle. Now he joins Turf Nerds to break down Gravely vs. Bobcat, stand-on vs. rider mowers, and the tank-mixing mistake that damaged a client's lawn (and how he made it right). He also opens up about scaling to four crews and 125+ lawns a week, then intentionally scaling back down for better quality and relationships, plus his art background, nutsedge and weed-rotation strategy, and how he keeps his crew busy all winter.

Evan and Greg are back and catching up on everything. Including the FCC's new ban on foreign-made robot mowers with trimming arms, and what it means for the future of autonomous mowing in the US. Then it's back to business: deciding whether to finally cut ties with slow-pay clients heading into 2027, doing the real math on an underpriced client who makes up for it in side work, getting their corner lot pricing checked by another pro, and why a $50 minimum might be non-negotiable next season. Plus: storm cleanup billing rules, a clickbait email that landed 13 aeration sign-ups, and the eternal debate: solo operator or 3-man crew, who really nets more per hour?

Kentucky pastor and lawn care operator Joey Damron calls in on Free For All Friday to share how mowing a friend's lawn as a favor turned into a 40+ property route, and how faith, not a business plan, got him there. We dig into route density, rural dealer support, and his next mower decision (Kubota vs. Toro Multiforce vs. Bobcat), then shift gears to a fertilizer company's spray job gone wrong, mulch glue and UV protection with B3C, and why "grass always wins."

Rain wrecked Evan's schedule this week, and it almost wrecked his mindset too, until a reminder from Rocky set him straight: the exception is not the standard. On our 300th episode, founding co-host Ben returns to grade the show's evolution, we relive Uncle Greg's origin story from episode 4, and we get into why routine, not reacting to every curveball, is what actually builds a lawn care business. Plus: a client who wanted a contingency plan (so we dropped him), and the debate over whether we'd ever mow a cemetery. Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch! Look! We Have A Website!

A longtime client of Evan's falls behind on payments, blames a rough financial stretch, and then asks to switch to biweekly mowing "until further notice." Evan and Greg break down why they won't budge on biweekly, work through ending the longtime client relationship, and debate where the line is between showing grace and letting a client take advantage. Plus: the landscaping job gone wrong (unwatered sod, dead grass, mounting debt) that made the decision even messier. Also, big week in the mower world: Yanmar just became the majority owner of AriensCo (parent company of Gravely), and Stanley Black & Decker sold Excel Industries, home of the Hustler brand, to Bad Boy Mowers.

From a robotic mower brand partnership that fell apart, to why he walks away from deals that ask him to fake enthusiasm on camera. Fill opens up about how faith shapes his approach to honesty with his audience, the grind of banking dozens of backup videos to survive a content-less Pacific Northwest winter, and his path from a $9.50/hour small engine repair job to full-time YouTuber with videos topping 10+ million views.

The guys break down all six events (zero-turn obstacle course, weed eater string challenge, blower accuracy, push mow obstacle course, and even a traditional scythe challenge), debate whether operators will "soup up" their mowers to compete, and ask the real question: should the Equip Expo be running something like this every year? Plus, Greg gives a live update from a two-day power outage after a 60 mph storm rolled through southeast Michigan, and a call-in with 25-year lawn care vet Cameron Duncan on skip policies and staying busy during a dry spell.

Evan and Greg dig into whether AI and autonomous mowers will ever really replace lawn care pros, and why trimming, edging, and blowing might be un-automatable for at least another 15 years. They break down STIHL's AutoCut trimmer head, weigh battery vs. gas equipment for handhelds, and Greg goes full rant on the real cost of ACA health insurance for self-employed operators (spoiler: it's brutal). Plus, a heartfelt segment featuring Evan's wife Hannah reflecting on six years of marriage, motherhood, and what it's really like being a "lawn care wife" through the highs and lows of mowing season.

Horticulture Extension agent Taylor McDaniel joins the show to break down the South's "Big Four" turfgrasses: Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, and St. Augustine, and how to actually tell them apart by the blade. We dig into salt-damaged coastal soil, D4 exceptional drought, the right mowing height for each grass type, masonry sand vs. play sand for repairs, and ground pearl, the underground pest with no chemical fix that's quietly destroying Southern lawns. Plus: why soil testing should be step one for every problem lawn, and what fall armyworms are doing to yards right now. Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch! Look! We Have A Website!

They dig into landscaping upsells, teaming up with real estate agents for referral work, and why small gestures, a handwritten thank-you card, a free fifteen-minute fix, build the kind of client retention that lasts for years.

They dig into Johnny Mow's "one service for life" debate and whether robotic mowers are really coming for your route, work through a real client dispute over mowing height (and the turf-science answer that shut it down), and compare truck wraps, vinyl stickers, and magnetic signs for protecting and marketing your rig. Plus: a simple Excel trick for tracking your true average price per lawn, why "doing everything" (mulch, gutters, pressure washing, sealing) can backfire on a solo operator, and the real talk on trusting subs and employees with your equipment.

He breaks down why "just raise your prices" is lazy coaching advice, introduces his term "the Spring Rush Trap," and explains why he's walking away from mowing (down from 80 accounts to 15) to go all-in on fertilizing. Plus: how a $1,500 robotic mower is already cutting into his market, why lawn care influencer sponsorship deals silence honest product reviews, and the diet and capacity-planning habits keeping him in the game after three decades.

Prompted by a listener email, they break down the differences between Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, and SIMPLE IRAs, why self-employed operators don't get an automatic 401(k), how compound growth works over time, and why undercharging is often the real reason lawn pros can't afford to retire. They also touch on employer-matched SIMPLE IRAs for S-Corp owners with employees, working with a CPA or broker, and the $7,500 annual contribution limit. Plus lawn care talk on the season, equipment, and the upcoming Equip Expo 2026 meetup. Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch! Look! We Have A Website!

Plus: diagnosing a screaming Echo PB-9010T backpack blower, how many backup blowers/trimmers a solo op really needs, U-Haul vs. Enterprise truck rentals when your rig goes down, and why a restaurant's $1.60 carryout fee sparked a debate on charging one-off lawn clients more.

They break down Jason Creel's video on identifying weeds and grasses (crabgrass, nutsedge, dove weed, dallisgrass, fescues and rye types), tackle a listener's question on what actually makes you a "professional" lawn care guy, and swap stories about property-line disputes and passive-aggressive neighbors.

A dental office client playing games with a late invoice, a chronic late-payer getting slapped with a $10 fee, and why 2027 might be the year of $50 minimums and dropping 10-15 underpriced accounts. When you lose a lawn, how do you handle it? Evan gives a great reminder and encouragement. Plus: a BMW-owning neighbor loses it over grass clippings, a new $16 weeding knife earns its keep, and an 18-year-old lawn pro in Texas emails the Turf Nerds and asks a question about what Evan and Greg would do differently if they restarted their businesses, and northern vs. southern grass.

Dan and Tessa Michaels of Eden Keepers Landscape Maintenance (Wooster, Ohio) join Turf Nerds to share how a single prayer and a text message layoff sparked a 13-season landscape business built with his wife, Tessa. The husband-and-wife team breaks down how they grew from mowing into landscape design, tree planting, and snow/ice removal, the hardest personnel lesson they've learned, and how faith shapes the way they run their crew, their marriage, and their business.

Then the guys break down every discharge blocker on the market (EZ-Chute, Grass Flap, Qwikchute, Speed Trap) and debate whether manufacturers should just include one standard. Plus: a Davenport man's touching weekly tribute to a friend lost in a house fire, mowing for free for clients in need, blade-sharpening heat problems, Greg's Dealer dropping Toro but will keep Bobcat and Ferris, a first look at Echo's new 30" self-propelled mower, and a shoutout to listener Dave Hughes on building his solo lawn care business.

Evan and Greg sit down with Cory Suter, founder of LambMowers.com, a Fairfax, Virginia lawn care company that swaps gas mowers for a flock of Babydoll Southdown sheep. Cory, a former green-roofing entrepreneur turned permaculture farmer with a PhD in economics breaks down how his sheep-based "weed and feed" service went from a Fairfax County zoning fight to a business featured on Tucker Carlson Tonight and in The Washington Post, booking out six weeks in advance across the DC metro area and a new Louisville franchise. He covers pricing ($195–$295 per visit), rotational grazing, which weeds sheep love (crabgrass, creeping Charlie, poison ivy) versus what they won't touch, and even the company's off-season nativity scene gig. Plus: Evan and Greg riff on Segway trimming with a heavier operator, why cutting overgrown grass left the Toro MultiForce deck spotless, drought conditions and grass type differences across the Midwest, and more lawn care shop talk.

Genesis 2:15, Colossians 3:23-24, and Luke 16:10 on working hard, working with your hands, and being a good steward even when clients don't appreciate it. Plus: a non-paying client who tore up his own check, defending against a "you broke my window" accusation without filing an insurance claim, torn-up vinyl siding, burned bushes from hedge trimming, a Billy Goat leaf vac price comparison ahead of fall cleanup season, and the real hourly rate lawn care pros need to charge to actually turn a profit.

Evan and Greg dig into drought-season sprinkler drama, including one longtime client who waters his lawn out of spite mid-mow, and break down why watering at 4pm instead of 4am is quietly costing clients hundreds in wasted water (and how that saved a price-increase conversation). They debate whether four fertilizer flags in one yard is overkill, revive "Uncle Greg's Gregariousness," and hash out a tricky liability question: is a mower really responsible for a client's cracked window? Plus: texting vs. calling clients, walk-behind mower fatigue, and a prayer for a listener's newborn. Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch! Look! We Have A Website!

She got hit by a care while running that left her with a traumatic brain injury with still a long road of recovery, Evan also shares an R.C. Sproul clip on suffering, faith, and God's purpose in the hard seasons. Then Brent Angelo (Grassroots Lawn Service LLC) joins the show: a 3rd grade teacher of 22 years who's built a 52-customer route with 35% of it packed into one block near his house. Brent breaks down his route density strategy, pricing, why he ditched fertilization and Facebook ads, and how faith, family, and a "faith, family, health" priority list keep him grounded through the busy season.

Evan revisits a video of himself getting real about a mindset that trapped him for years: measuring his worth as a lawn care operator by how many lawns he could mow in a day. He and Greg dig into the "keyboard warrior" culture in lawn care Facebook groups. Guys bragging about lawn counts with zero context on lot size, root density, or equipment, and why that comparison game is a trap. The real number that matters isn't lawns per day, it's profit per lawn. Plus: a buddy who once mowed 155 postage-stamp lawns a week on a 30" push mower, and why bigger, harder lawns can mean fewer cuts but better money. Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch! Look!

Brandon Hyde, VP of Hyde Park Landscaping in Norwich, CT, joins Turf Nerds to break down how a 46-year-old family business scaled from solo mowing to a full-service landscape company. Brandon shares why turf care, plantings, and garden care carry the industry's highest profit margins, how a character-based "career ladder" keeps employees loyal for decades, and why education and certification are the key to charging what you're worth instead of racing to the bottom. Plus: 13 generations of family history in Norwich, the CT Accredited Nursery Professional exam's brutal 35% pass rate, and simple ways to upsell every mowing client into a full-service account.
