In this episode of The Green Industry Podcast, host Paul Jamison reveals the top 5 high-impact offseason strategies every lawn care business owner should tackle right now to maximize equipment reliability, team performance, client loyalty, revenue diversification, and next-season profitability.
In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Bryan Clayton, co-founder of GreenPal, a platform often compared to the Uber for lawn care. But before GreenPal, Bryan spent years running a traditional landscaping business. He was in the field every day dealing with crews, customers, weather, margins, and all the chaos that comes with service work.What really pushed Bryan to start GreenPal was being fed up with bad landscapers dragging the industry down. No-shows, poor communication, and unreliable service were hurting good operators and frustrating homeowners. Instead of walking away from the problem, he decided to solve it.Today, GreenPal has helped generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for lawn care professionals across the country. But the most interesting part of Bryan's story isn't just the company, it's how he built it. Bootstrapped. No shortcuts. A lot of hard lessons learned along the way.We talked about building from the ground up, mistakes that almost killed the business, and what service-based entrepreneurs can learn from solving real problems in their industry.If you run a service business, hiring a lawn care company, or are thinking about building something that actually makes an industry better, this is an episode worth listening to.Guest Info: Bryan ClaytonWebsite: https://www.yourgreenpal.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryan-clayton-a96b33214/Host Info:Email: Bill@rkreiman.comCONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:▶︎ YOUTUBE | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxAdSxHN0dIXZPhA-6p1HYA ▶︎ INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/imbillreiman▶︎FACEBOOK| https://www.facebook.com/billy.reiman ▶︎ LINKEDIN | https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-reim...▶︎ TWITTER | https://twitter.com/ImBillReiman▶︎ WEBSITE | https://www.rkreiman.com

Most green industry owners think a profitable company automatically means a sellable one, but buyers see things very differently. In this episode, we sit down with Dan Mello, former owner of Seacoast Tree Care and Seacoast Turf Care, to unpack what it really takes to build a buyable green industry business. Dan shares how he grew his company by over 280%, intentionally increased enterprise value, and ultimately exited successfully through private equity. They dive into the operational, financial, leadership, and marketing decisions that positioned the business for acquisition, including hard lessons learned along the way. This conversation offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at building a company people actually want to buy. Key Discussion Points Why most green industry businesses aren't actually built to survive due diligence The role of recurring revenue in increasing enterprise value Leadership mistakes, personal growth, and separating identity from the business How systemized operations and strong financials attract buyers Why branding and professional marketing impact valuation, not just lead volume What private equity buyers look for in tree and lawn care companies Building a management team that allows the business to run without the owner
In this episode, John shares a powerful story that challenges the belief that "nobody is buying right now." After walking into a luxury jewelry store packed with employees and customers, he breaks down why people will always spend money on things they value, and how that same principle applies to lawn care businesses. If you are struggling to sell your services, this episode will help you reframe the problem, understand what you are truly selling, and build the confidence needed to charge what you are worth. This is a mindset-shifting episode for green industry business owners who are ready to stop discounting their value and start building real profit. Comments and Questions are welcome.

Introduction: In the world of lawn care, few stories are as compelling as that of Nathan from Nathan's Lawns and Gardens. From humble beginnings in 2010 with a push mower to becoming a prominent figure on social media, Nathan's journey is a testament to hard work, resilience, and the power of community. In this blog post, we will explore Nathan's story, his approach to business, and the lessons he has learned along the way. The Early Years: Starting Out in Lawn Care Nathan began his journey in lawn care back in 2010 after years of laboring in various jobs. He recalled how his first job was a modest $20 for mowing a front yard and trimming hedges. Despite knowing he was undercharging, he was eager to gain experience. This initial foray into business laid the groundwork for his future success. Nathan shared, "I made a front full yard and I cut their hedge. I would have been there for an hour and a half, but 20 bucks cash. You know what? Back then I knew it was worth more, but I was just, it was my first customer and I was like, I'm in." The Shift to Social Media About six years into his lawn care business, Nathan decided to start documenting his work through videos. Initially, he approached this as a hobby, not realizing the potential it would have. "I didn't have a goal to be where I was today, but it was more of like a hobby just for something for me to do," he explained. Nathan's early content was primarily about sharing his experiences and connecting with others in the industry. He quickly learned that social media could serve as a powerful tool for networking and growth. Navigating the Landscape of Social Media As Nathan's online presence began to grow, he faced the challenge of navigating various platforms. He noted that while YouTube was popular, platforms like Instagram and TikTok were emerging as key players in social media content. However, Nathan pointed out a crucial aspect: "A lot of people don't realize that TikTok in Australia does not pay. You don't get paid for views and all that kind of stuff." The Reality of Running a Business Throughout his journey, Nathan emphasized the importance of understanding business dynamics. He learned valuable lessons about pricing and the need to cover costs while also serving his community. "You must, in my opinion, do the right thing by the elderly or someone that's really struggling. Look after them. Don't go in there ripping them off," he advised. This principle has guided Nathan as he navigates the complexities of being both a lawn care professional and a social media influencer. Challenges and Controversies During the conversation, Nathan also touched on the challenges faced by contractors in the lawn care industry. He noted the tendency for some to embellish their earnings or project an unrealistic image of success. "I got to where I did through hard work. It's not you just upload a video and that's it. There's a lot of hard work that goes behind social media," Nathan explained, highlighting the importance of authenticity in his content. Conclusion: Key Takeaways Nathan's journey from a humble lawn care worker to a respected figure in the industry showcases the power of hard work, community support, and the effective use of social media. As he continues to grow his brand, he remains committed to sharing genuine experiences and helping others in the lawn care community. Key takeaways from this blog include the importance of fair pricing, the value of networking, and the necessity of staying true to one's roots.

In this episode, Mr. Producer steps out from behind the scenes and reveals his secret life as a lawn care business owner — or at least pretends to be one. As a satirical twist, Mr. Producer goes undercover as a struggling lawn care operator, poking fun at some of the most common inefficiencies in the industry: relying on push mowers when you shouldn't, wasting time on jobs, ignoring better equipment, and skipping systems that could make life easier. It's all laughs on the surface — but there's a real message underneath. This episode blends comedy and commentary, highlighting how many lawn care business owners unintentionally make their days harder than they need to be.

We've been diving headfirst into the health rabbit hole, and frankly, we're not sure if we came out better or just more confused. On this episode, we tried to sound like we know what we're talking about as we explored everything from holistic doctors (who tell you your favorite snack is basically poison) to the ancient, confusing art of grounding (are we just supposed to hug a tree?). We also tackled the great health debate: supplements vs. whole foods. Why take a synthetic pill when you can just eat an entire kale farm, right? Oh, and did we mention parasites? Yes, we went there. Because nothing says "funny podcast" like discussing the creepy crawlies potentially residing inside you. We also shared some questionable home remedies that probably won't cure you, but might give you a good story. Then, we veered wildly into the chaos that is modern life! We lamented the utterly unrealistic health goals plastered all over social media—seriously, who has time for perfect yoga poses AND a pristine lawn? Speaking of which, we complained bitterly about the soul-crushing labor of lawn care before moving onto the even greater torment: fishing with our children. (Spoiler: it involves a lot of untangling and zero fish.) To top it all off, we reminisced about the trauma of our childhood pets, finally concluding with the truly brilliant idea one of us had to own a piranha. Because clearly, we never learned any life lessons about boundaries or common sense. Basically, we proved that health, parenting, and pet ownership are all just a series of absurd, hilarious mistakes.
