When we had a "real" lawn care business
|
Back when my wife and I had a "real" lawn care business, the kind people think you’re supposed to aim for where things looked great on paper. We had five vehicles on the road and good revenue. But every single morning? It was a madhouse.
It was draining. We started to realize something no one ever tells you: The business was running us. We had set out to build freedom… So, we made a decision that most people wouldn’t expect, especially not at that stage of growth. We downsized. Not because we were failing. We rebuilt everything around a simple idea: What if we could run a profitable, low-stress business without all the complexity? Fast forward to today:
No early-morning fires. No staff headaches. Just clean, predictable systems. And the funny thing? We actually pay ourselves the same money now with a fraction of the stress. That’s the part that surprises people the most. Because we’re taught to believe that growth means adding more:
But the truth?
Sometimes growing means subtracting the stress, the waste, and the stuff that doesn’t work for you. That’s what I help lawn care owners build now. Not a business that just looks good from the outside. But one that feels good to run. If that’s what you’re after, you’re in the right place. Until next time,Get out there, mow lawns, and have fun.

We had a thousand bucks left. On a credit card. That was the emergency float. Instead, I spent it on a mower and a weed eater. No backup plan.No second option. Just that gut feeling that I couldn’t sit around and wait anymore. We were living hand to mouth with a signwriting business, and everyone had closed for Christmas. December rolled in, and we had zero work. So I walked into a mower shop, swiped that card, and came home with the gear. I told my wife I was starting a lawn care business....
I see this all the time. Someone starts a lawn care business with a hiss and a roar. Brand-new mower. Decked-out trailer. A truck that screams money to burn. And then? They sit back and wait for the calls to come in. Here’s the hard truth: That hardly ever happens. Because it’s not the gear that gets you work. It’s the hustle. You could have bare-bones equipment — just a decent mower, a blower, and an edger — and still grow way faster than the guy with the $15K setup. Why? No big repayments....
