In this episode of the Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast, host Scott Molchan sits down with H-2B visa expert Nataly Mualem to reveal a game-changing hiring strategy that most landscapers don't even know about—the October Strategy. If you rely on H-2B workers, you already know how tough the competition is getting. With visa caps filling up faster than ever and an increasing number of businesses applying, many landscapers are struggling to secure the workers they need. But what if there was a way to beat the system and drastically improve your chances of getting H-2B workers? Nataly breaks down: ✅ What the October Strategy is and why it gives you an advantage over spring applicants. ✅ Why most landscapers miss out on this opportunity (and how to fix that). ✅ The rising demand for H-2B visas and what's driving the competition. ✅ Green card options – Can landscapers secure a more permanent workforce? ✅ The biggest mistakes landscapers make with H-2B applications. ✅ Legal & policy updates that could impact your hiring in 2025. If you've ever lost out on workers due to visa caps or want to make your hiring process less stressful and more predictable, this episode is a must-listen.
Most landscapers are sitting on a high-margin service they're barely tapping into – irrigation. If you're only fixing irrigation when it breaks, you're missing out on recurring revenue and long-term client retention.In this episode of The Landscaper's Guide, host Jack Jostes sits down with Weathermatic President Lex Mason to share how irrigation can become a profit center instead of a reactive expense. Lex explains why water costs are rising faster than any other utility, why most landscapers lose clients over irrigation issues, and how SmartLink helps companies build a system for consistent irrigation sales.Plus, Lex shares Weathermatic's Save Water, Give Life campaign, which helps provide clean drinking water to communities in need.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ The biggest reason landscapers lose clients (and how to prevent it)

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Yin Chen, CEO and Chairman at Greenworks, a supplier of battery-powered outdoor power equipment (OPE) since 2003. With over 20 years at the forefront of home, yard, and do-it-yourself electric tools, Greenworks is redefining durability and eco-friendliness in the face of climate challenges, delivering high performance equipment focused on reducing carbon footprints.Ted and Yin discuss his background briefly, studying mechanical engineering at China's Donghua University, and business at Warwick University in the UK. He shares humble beginnings of Greenworks, recalling a meeting with one of their first clients placing a modified bike battery on the table, noting that it would be the centerpiece of all their applications. Fast forward, Greenworks now has more than 7,000 employees and manufacturing facilities in China, the U.S. and Vietnam, and offers everything from riding lawn mowers to snow removal tools and pressure washers – all powered by batteries. Yin shares his outlook on how Greenworks has shifted the narrative, and landscapers are now embracing battery power because it is in their best interest. Environmental benefits aside, Greenworks products improve workers' day-to-day well-being. As they engage with the cleaner battery-powered technology, landscape professionals can now focus more on their tasks without the negative side effects of inhaling toxic fumes.Yin also highlights Greenworks Optimus line of OPE, which was previously focused around the residential sector, but now focused on developing new products and comprehensive solutions for the commercial sector. The research and development, product testing, manufacturing, and customer service for the commercial equipment is being done at the Greenworks Commercial Center of Excellence in Morristown, Tennessee, ushering Greenworks Commercial into a cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable manufacturing future here in the US.

Send us a textOn this Episode of The Plant Movement Podcast, we welcome back Martha Vega from National Community Service to discuss one of the most pressing issues affecting the agricultural industry: immigration.A Look at Immigration Policies and Realities: Martha Vega, who previously appeared on Episode 35, provides her expert insights on the current immigration landscape. She explains that while Donald Trump's administration has made immigration policies more visible, they are not fundamentally different from those of past administrations. Many undocumented workers in Florida have the means to become legal but lack proper information, which organizations like National Community Service strive to provide.Addressing Fears and Seeking Solutions: Willie and Martha discuss the fears many undocumented individuals and business owners face when dealing with immigration concerns. Many are hesitant to seek help due to misinformation and fear of exposure. Martha emphasizes the importance of consulting qualified immigration attorneys and organizations instead of falling victim to scammers who take advantage of vulnerable individuals.The Current Immigration Climate: With reports of increased patrol activity and executive orders prioritizing the deportation of undocumented individuals with criminal records, many are living in uncertainty. While the Constitution allows for these measures, Martha highlights cases where individuals with pending asylum cases and work permits have been unfairly detained. However, those who can prove they live law-abiding lives are often released quickly.Real-Life Cases and Legal Pathways: Martha shares examples of individuals who have faced immigration challenges and how legal intervention has helped them. She also discusses the importance of preparing for potential detainment by setting up power of attorney and ensuring that children and property are taken care of in case of deportation.Understanding Visa Options: For those in the Green Industry looking for legal employment solutions, Martha outlines visa options like the H-2A and H-2B programs, which allow foreign workers to be legally employed in agriculture and other industries. She encourages businesses to seek Department of Labor certification to ensure compliance and avoid workforce disruptions.The Dignity Act: A Path to Legalization: Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar's proposed Dignity Act is a bipartisan bill that aims to provide a path to legal status for undocumented individuals who have lived law-abiding lives. Martha urges listeners to contact their congressmen to support this initiative, which could provide stability for millions of individuals and businesses that rely on immigrant labor.Moving Forward with Knowledge and Faith: Misinformation often prevents people from taking the right steps. Martha stresses the importance of obtaining accurate information from reliable sources like National Community Service, which offers free consultations and legal assistance. Connect with National Community ServiceFor those needing assistance, National Community Service is located at 1883 West Flagler Street, Suite 3, Miami. They provide information clinics and connect individuals with trusted immigration attorneys. For more details, call 305-244-3125 or 305-303-3092.Final ThoughtsImmigration is a complex and emotional topic, but with the right resources, individuals and businesses can find solutions. Willie and Martha encourage listeners to take action, stay informed, and support policies that benefit the community.Support the show
In this episode of the Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast, host Scott Molchan breaks down one of the most overlooked but powerful marketing tools for landscapers—your Google Business Profile (GBP). Most landscapers focus on websites, but here's the truth: GBP is the first thing potential customers see when they search for landscapers in their area. If your profile isn't set up or optimized, you're leaving money on the table.
Most landscapers load up their trucks, roll up to a job site, and get to work. But what if your “job site” is a rooftop 40 stories above the streets of New York City—with no easy way to get plants, soil, or even tools up there? That's the daily reality for John Mini Distinctive Landscapes, a team that transforms urban spaces into lush, thriving environments in one of the most challenging places to do it.At the NALP Elevate Conference in Charlotte, I met with Mark Mini and Matt Wessol from John Mini to find out how they pull off these jaw-dropping installations. They've mastered the art of urban landscaping, from carrying materials up staircases in historic high-rises to figuring out how to fit a full-blown landscape into a tiny rooftop. And their clients? They're not your typical homeowners. They're commercial developers, architects, and property managers looking for premium, high-design outdoor spaces in the middle of a concrete jungle.But it's not just about logistics. Mark and Matt share how they've built a company culture that thrives in high-pressure environments, why they call their team “landscaping ninjas,” and what they've learned about problem-solving in one of the most challenging markets in the world. Plus, they reveal their plans for expanding beyond NYC and let's just say they're not stopping anytime soon.Do you want to know how they make it all work and how you can apply their creative problem-solving mindset to your landscaping business? This episode has it all.Watch the FULL episode to learn:

In this episode of the Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast, host Scott Molchan sits down with Ezra McCarthy of Green Frog Web Design to tackle one of the biggest struggles for landscapers—getting stuck working in their business instead of on it. Most landscapers start their business because they're great at what they do, but before they know it, they're buried in the day-to-day grind—sharpening mower blades, handling customer calls, doing estimates, and even bookkeeping. Sound familiar?
In this episode of the Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast, host Scott Molchan sits down with Derek and Kelli Shaw of Hey Lieu to uncover a game-changing strategy for landscapers—leveraging Virtual Assistants (VAs) to save time, reduce costs, and streamline business operations. Running a landscaping business is overwhelming, and administrative tasks can quickly eat up your time. But what if you could outsource those tasks to highly skilled, cost-effective remote assistants? Derek and Kelli share how they used VAs to transform their moving business and how landscapers can do the same. From customer follow-ups to scheduling, bookkeeping, and even marketing, VAs can take critical tasks off your plate so you can focus on growth.
Most landscapers think they have a handle on their numbers—until cash flow problems, unexpected equipment costs, or skyrocketing overtime smack them in the face. In this episode of The Landscaper's Guide, Jack Jostes talks with Steven Bach from Bach Business Partners (BBP) about the financial traps that cost landscapers money every single year—and how to avoid them.One of the biggest mistakes? Confusing sales with revenue. Just because you landed a contract doesn't mean that money is in your pocket. Steven shares how landscapers can track revenue correctly, avoid cash flow surprises, and set realistic financial targets that actually mean something.Then, they dig into equipment pricing. Are you factoring in work days the right way? Or are you overpricing jobs and scaring off customers—or worse, underpricing and bleeding profits? Steven explains how to stop guessing and start charging accurately so your business stays competitive and profitable.And let's talk labor. Overtime can eat into your margins fast, but the real problem? Most landscapers lie to themselves about how much they're actually running. Steven breaks down a simple way to track and plan for it—so you're not caught off guard when payroll rolls around.Watch the FULL episode to dig deeper into:
On today's P1 Podcast, Eddie asks us for our take on how he ended up paying his landscaper for some extra work

In today's episode, Keith dives into a pretty intense story that could really make you stop and think. A few years back, in 2021, Keith had a near-miss that none of us would ever want to face—he almost got seriously hurt while working on a tree job near some high-voltage power lines. And he's shared why that experience serves as a major wake-up call about the realities and risks of working close to electricity. Keith's not just telling this story for kicks—he hopes it opens eyes and might even save a few lives. We'll hear how important it is to be cautious and learn about electrical safety so that nobody finds themselves in a similar scary situation. So, if you're in the green industry or know someone who is, you'll want to stick around and listen to this one! Check out these episode highlights: 00:00 Trimmed branches with a telescopic pole saw. 03:17 Felt weird after a close call with danger. 07:13 Firefighter calls it a miracle: mild injury. 10:09 Assume wires are live; check safety videos. Key Takeaways: Keep Your Eyes Peeled: Power lines might look like they're far away, but give them respect and distance—always. Assume Every Wire is Hot: Whether it's an electrical, phone, or even a cable line, treat them all like they're live. Better safe than sorry, right?
