This episode challenges the status quo and offers a blueprint for building a company people actually want to work for, and stay with. Key Discussion Points: How to build a landscape company that truly puts people first The downside of chasing revenue at the expense of your team Why "growth at all costs" is destroying culture and retention Tangible strategies for recognition, retention, and incentives How promoting from within builds trust with both clients and crews Why most private equity deals in landscaping are short-sighted What a sustainable landscape business actually looks like

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! Today I was listening to the Fullerton Unfiltered podcast and something Brian said got me to look back on my first year of business as Sutter Brothers Lawn Care. If you didn't know I had a business in Lansing, MI for the last 10 years and shut it down when we purchased my childhood home that was located 50 miles away from Lansing. I started this lawn care season with just two lawn mowing clients. Now that we're in August I can say that I have 15 clients (these are very big lawns, 3-5 acres) and I am about half way to where I was when I closed down my business in Lansing. If you want to hear the rest of the story listen to the podcast. It is an amazing story.    **Please give the podcast a 5 star rating and review in Apple Podcasts.** Give Me Your Feedback: http://www.linktr.ee/lansinglawnservice     GREEN FROG WEB DESIGN SPECIFICALLY FOR LAWN CARE *Your First Month is ONLY $1.00* https://greenfrogwebdesign.com/ Buy Me A Coffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/mowinginthedark    Michigan Maple Coffee: https://amzn.to/4eQZzSR Check out my business websites: www.lansinglawnservice.com www.gravelblasters.com , www.sutterbrotherslawncare.com   Check out My Favorite Lawn Care Gear: Werner, AC78, Quickclick Stabilizer, Aluminum https://amzn.to/2OTOfMf Wonder Grip WG318L Liquid-Proof Double-Coated/Dipped Natural Latex Rubber Work Gloves 13-Gauge Seamless Nylon, Large, Large https://amzn.to/2Ytjml6 Hodenn Zero Turn Lawn Mower Hitch - Fits Ariens & Gravely ZT-X: https://amzn.to/3jJmEua ECHO Black Diamond Trimmer Line: https://amzn.to/2GBEL7d

I had an enlightening conversation with Brian and Mary McKnight, the driving forces behind Turf Tamers Landscaping in Fort Collins. Brian shared how he acquired Turf Tamers, initially a tiny business, and grew it from the ground up starting with a few clients in 2001.  Brian shared his background, and the drama in moving from “trendy” California to “cowtown” Fort Collins in high school - but how he soon fit right in and found summer work in landscaping.  Mary, on the other hand, came to CSU from Indiana and studied global tourism. They met at the Rio, and their shared passion for adventure and travel led to a quick connection, and soon jobs and business opportunities in Chile.They bought property in Chilean Patagonia in 2008, and over the years developed both the property and deep relationships with the neighboring families.  Despite travel challenges and lack of infrastructure - their valley finally got electric power in 2016! - they've developed an amazing fishing and recreation property in one of the most unique glacial valleys in Patagonia, and we spend a fair bit of time exploring their valley and the local culture.   Brian and Mary also shared extensively about their business evolution, particularly how incorporating systems and focusing on quality customer service has been their key to success. Brian appreciated how Mary's involvement sped their evolution, and how his membership in LoCo Think Tank has broadened his and their perspectives.  For young  people, they emphasized the importance of travel and entrepreneurship, and shared how their focus on values informs their business and family decisions. Our time together was an exploration of building a business and a life with intention and an adventurous spirit, so please tune in and enjoy my conversation with Brian and Mary McKnight.  The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Purpose Driven Wealth Thrivent: Learn more

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! Recently I did a driveway project and I had bid plans for how this thing was going to go. I had it all planned out.

It was 104 degrees out side. My geo textile fabric got wrapped around my power rake drum, twice, and the limestone that I scheduled for 3 pm came at 12:30.
