Mow Trappin Podcast #80 | Don’t Forget Your Off-Season Clipboard

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 21:00:00 -0500

In episode 80 of the Mow Trappin Podcast, I’m talking about why you can’t forget what you told yourself in the off season. When the season gets busy, it’s easy to get off track, start moving off emotion, and stop following the plan. But this is the time to go back to your notes, your goals, and your game plan. Read what you wrote down when things were slow, and make sure the moves you’re making now still line up with where you said you wanted to go.

This episode is about discipline, staying focused, and sticking to the vision even when the pressure picks up.

Hook:

Don’t let a busy season make you forget the goals you wrote down in the off season.

Emotional Estimates and Scheduling Lawns | Episode #79

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 21:00:00 -0500

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest mistakes in lawn care — emotionally estimating jobs and letting customers control your schedule.

If you’ve ever:
• Lowered your price because you “felt bad”
• Took on a property you knew wasn’t worth it
• Let customers dictate your route and timing

…this episode is for you.

I talk about how emotional decisions can cost you thousands over a season, and how switching to a system-based approach changes everything.

You’ll learn:
• Why emotional estimating destroys profit
• How to price jobs based on value, not feelings
• How to build a schedule that works for YOU
• The mindset shift that separates struggling vs profitable lawn businesses

This is the same shift that helped me tighten up my route, increase income, and reduce stress.

If you’re serious about growing your lawn care business, this one is a must-listen.

Gas Prices Don’t Matter To The Right Customers | Podcast Episode #78

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 21:00:00 -0500

A mower went down… but that’s not even the real problem.

In this episode, I break down what happens when equipment fails in the middle of the job, and why the type of customers you have matters more than gas prices ever will.

Too many lawn care businesses stay stuck because they’re scared to raise prices or they’re working for the wrong people. The right customers don’t complain about fuel costs—they pay for reliability, consistency, and quality work.

I also talk about why saving money in your business is non-negotiable, especially when things break down. If you’re not prepared, one bad day can set you back big.

This episode is about thinking different, charging what you’re worth, and building a business that can actually survive.

⸻

What You’ll Learn:
• What to do when your mower breaks down mid-job
• Why cheap customers will keep you stuck
• The truth about gas prices and pricing your services
• When and how to raise your prices
• Why saving money is critical in lawn care
• How to build a more stable, profitable business

⸻

If You’re In Lawn Care…

This episode will change how you look at pricing, customers, and running your business day-to-day.

Stop Chasing New Clients — Protect Your Best Customers First | Lawn Care Podcast #77

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 21:00:00 -0500

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about something a lot of lawn care businesses forget — taking care of the customers who take care of you.

Too many people in the lawn care industry spend all their time chasing new leads, new clients, and more work… while ignoring the loyal customers who have been paying them for years.

Those customers are the real foundation of your business.

In this episode we break down:

• Why loyal customers are worth more than new ones
• How taking care of your current clients grows your business faster
• Why most lawn care companies fail chasing leads
• The mindset shift that builds a $100k+ lawn route

If you’re trying to grow a lawn care business, this episode will help you focus on the customers that actually build your income.

Lawn Maintenance Small Engine TIps From a Mower Dealership Manager | Episode 76

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 21:00:00 -0500

In Episode 76, I sit down with Ryan Gratton to talk about a side of the lawn and landscape industry that a lot of contractors overlook — small engine repair and prevention.

Ryan’s path in the industry is unique. He started out as a park manager overseeing mowing crews, working directly in the field and managing large-scale maintenance operations. While doing that, he realized something important: understanding the equipment side of the business could open a lot of doors.

That led him to obtain his small engine repair license, giving him deep knowledge of the engines that power the lawn care industry.

Eventually, that experience helped him move into the dealership side of the industry, where he now works as a mower dealership manager, helping contractors choose equipment, maintain their machines, and avoid costly breakdowns.

In this episode we talk about:

• The most common small engine failures he sees from contractors
• Simple maintenance habits that prevent expensive repairs
• Mistakes lawn care businesses make with their equipment
• How understanding small engines can save thousands of dollars
• The difference between how contractors treat equipment vs. how dealers see it
• Why mechanical knowledge can give you an advantage in the lawn care industry

Whether you’re running a lawn care business, managing mowing crews, or just want to keep your equipment running longer, this conversation gives real insight from someone who works with commercial equipment every day.

Understanding your equipment can make the difference between making money or constantly fixing machines.

Episode 75: @stripelifecanada From Idea to Reality First International Guest 🇨🇦

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 17:00:00 -0600

In this episode, I sit down with Brandon from Stripe Life Canada for a powerful conversation about family, risk, and going all in on business.

Brandon shares what it was like working alongside his dad while balancing school — learning the trade early, understanding the grind, and seeing firsthand what it takes to run a lawn and landscape company. Eventually, he made the decision a lot of people are scared to make… he quit school and committed fully to building his own company in Canada.

We talk about:
• Working in a family business
• The pressure of choosing entrepreneurship over the “safe” path
• Starting and scaling in the Canadian market
• Lessons learned from working with his dad
• What it takes to bet on yourself

This is the first international episode of the podcast, and it won’t be the last.

If you’re building a lawn care or landscape business and trying to decide whether to go all in — this one is for you.

Spray License, Bigger Margins & Building Quality-First Lawn Routes | Episode 74

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 22:00:00 -0600

In Episode 74, I sit down with Polo Fields Lawn Service to talk about what it really takes to level up in the lawn care industry.

We break down the process of getting licensed for fertilization and weed control, why adding these services can dramatically increase your margins, and how shifting from quantity to quality changes your entire business model.

This conversation goes beyond cutting grass. We talk about:

• Why state applicator certification creates leverage
• The difference between busy and profitable
• Building premium routes instead of stacked schedules
• Retaining higher-value clients
• Long-term growth in lawn care

If you’re serious about increasing revenue without burning yourself out, this episode lays out the mindset and strategy behind sustainable growth.

From Lawns to the Super Bowl: 18 Years of Building a Commercial Lawn Brand | Action Jackson

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 21:00:00 -0600

Episode 73 is a real blueprint conversation.

Action Jackson out of Madison, Wisconsin has been in the lawn and landscape game for 18 years — and built his brand to the level where his commercial aired during the Super Bowl.

Let that sink in.

We break down:

•How he survived nearly two decades in the industry

•The mindset shift from “mowing yards” to building a real company

•Commercial vs residential strategy

•Branding at a level most lawn guys never think about

•What it actually takes to scale in a competitive market

Ep.72 | How Getting Paid Wrong Cost Me My Truck (And How Card On File Doubled My Income)

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 21:00:00 -0600

I didn’t lose my truck because business was slow.

I lost it because I was getting paid the wrong way.

In this episode, I break down the mistake that nearly ended my lawn care business — not having a card on file — and how fixing that one system completely changed my income, stress level, and route efficiency.

We talk about:

• Why cash, checks, and “I’ll pay you later” kill cash flow

• How inconsistent payments lead to repos, stress, and burnout

• The exact moment I realized the problem wasn’t work — it was systems

• Why card on file isn’t pushy, it’s professional

• How my business doubled income with fewer headaches

If you run a service business and feel like you’re always chasing money, this episode is for you.

It’s a warning — and a fix.

Denied Equipment Financing… Now He Runs 2 Lawn Crews | Mow Trappin Podcast Ep. 70

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0600

In this episode of the Mow Trappin Podcast, I sit down with T&L Lawn Care from Montgomery, Alabama to talk about his journey from employee to business owner — and how he built a lawn care company after being denied equipment financing.

He started in 2006 working for another lawn company, learning the business from the ground up. In 2020, he decided to go out on his own, but quickly ran into a major obstacle: he couldn’t get approved for credit or equipment.

Instead of giving up, he figured out how to make it work with what he had. Now, six years later, he’s running two full lawn care setups and a business that’s thriving.

We discuss:

– How he got started in lawn care

– What he did after being denied financing

– How he built his first setup

– Lessons learned from early mistakes

– How he grew to two crews

– Advice for starting without credit

– What it really takes to survive in the lawn care business

This episode is for anyone trying to build a business from scratch, especially those who feel stuck because of money, credit, or equipment.

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 21:00:00 -0600

In Episode 69, we sit down with Derick Rose, owner of Catspaw LLC, to break down how he started a lawn care business in 2020 during COVID with nothing more than a push mower — and grew it into a year-round commercial lawn and snow operation in Wisconsin.

Derick shares how focusing on commercial accounts, adding snow removal, and building systems for all four seasons helped stabilize income and scale beyond seasonal lawn work in a cold-weather market.

We cover:
• Starting a lawn business during COVID
• Landing commercial lawn contracts early
• Transitioning from residential to commercial work
• Snow removal as a winter income strategy
• Building a year-round lawn & snow business

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 22:00:00 -0600

This episode marks five years of the Mow Trappin Podcast — and it’s not about going viral, it’s about staying in the game.

In Episode 68, I break down what five years of consistency really looks like while building a lawn care business, a media brand, and a life that most people quit on before it starts working.

We talk about:

• The invisible years nobody posts about

• Why most people fail before momentum kicks in

• What it takes to keep pushing when results are slow

• How lawn care turned into a long-term platform

• And what moving forward really means after five years

This is a real conversation about discipline, pressure, and not folding when the vision hasn’t paid yet.
