Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! One day Aaron found a wet spot in the yard and started wondering where this spot could have come from. After some searching Aaron realized the water was coming from the septic tank at his house. Aaron instantly went into a downward spiral about having to get the whole system replaced. Instead of jumping the gun and calling in a company to dig it all up, Aaron and his wife Renee, along with their son Marcus started digging to see if they could find the problem. Boy did they ever find a problem. To make a long story short, they snaked the drain field lines and removed over 60 gallons of nasty, smelly, grease!

Bryan Clayton is a true innovator in the landscaping world and the founder and CEO of GreenPal, often called the “Uber for lawn care.” With a background running a $10 million landscaping business, Bryan leveraged his industry expertise to launch GreenPal, which now connects over 300,000 homeowners with local lawn care pros across the U.S. His journey from hands-on entrepreneur to tech founder is packed with lessons on focus, resilience, and helping others succeed. Bryan's mission: make lawn care as easy as pushing a button, while empowering thousands of service providers to build real businesses. On this episode we talk about: How Bryan grew GreenPal from a startup idea to a nationwide platform in 300+ cities The difference between being self-employed and a true business owner—and why it matters for your income Real stories of GreenPal users earning $1 million a year mowing lawns The biggest challenges of moving from a traditional service business to building a tech company from scratch Why focus, customer obsession, and constant learning are keys to scaling any business The importance of living below your means as an entrepreneur, and how Bryan reinvested everything to fuel growth Lessons from mistakes: delegating too soon (and too late), hiring, and betting on the right people Top 3 Takeaways Niche Down and Master One Thing: GreenPal's success comes from relentless focus on landscaping and lawn care—don't get distracted by shiny objects or unrelated verticals. Empower Others to Win: The best businesses help others succeed. GreenPal is a “business in a box” for service providers, handling everything except mowing the grass so they can focus on growth. Live Lean, Reinvest, and Stay Disciplined: The less you need to live on, the greater your options. Reinvest in your business, avoid lifestyle inflation, and put your money to work for you. Notable Quotes “We have several users on the platform making over $1 million a year mowing yards. That's why I get out of bed in the morning—to help people improve their lives, make more money, and have less headache.” “If you focus on enough other people's success, your success will follow. That's been our North Star.” “The least you can live on, the greater your options. Live as meager as you can, and when you start making money, don't pretend like you're making money—keep reinvesting and building your cushion.” Connect with Bryan Clayton: Website: YourGreenPal.com Instagram: @brianmclayton Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Side Hustle Squad Podcast, Mike sits down with Matt Dickey of Plum Creek Lawncare out of Sparta, Illinois. Matt's story is a true testament to grit, hustle, and knowing when to pivot. He shares how he spent over a decade juggling a firewood business while operating heavy equipment in a coal mine—all while quietly building a lawn maintenance side hustle. After making the leap full-time into entrepreneurship, Matt realized that the debt from the firewood business was holding his lawn company back. His bold decision to sell off that side of the business and go all-in on lawn care paid off—and now he's leading a thriving 2 man crew that's becoming a staple in their small town of 5,000.
