Hey guys, my name is Trevor and I’m a native to Colorado Springs, Colorado. I just turned 19 a month ago and this is my third summer in business. I started my “company” the summer I turned 17 because I just got my license and just wanted enough money to cover gas & car insurance. I went door to door and got 4 mowing clients that summer and I would do property clean ups in the fall. I started advertising as Keep It Clean Lawn & Landscape. Then the summer I tuned 18 I had saved enough money to buy a truck from one of my first clients. Once I got the truck everything snowballed and buy the end of the summer I had the truck, a trailer, two employees, “a lot” of equipment, and 60-70 weekly mowing accounts. I continued to do some property clean ups but it was my senior year so I put the business on hold until this April. I had come across Chase Gallagher, Jacob Farling, and learned the hardscape/project jobs was the route I wanted to go. This April I hired my current foreman and a helper and we mow 17 houses on monday and do small project work (mulch, clean up, rock) the rest of the week. I had a family friend who reached out because their contractor started on a design/build but left after first progress check and they asked if we can take it over. We did and it is an 80k project we are hoping to finish next Tuesday. I just rebranded my company to Empyre Outdoor Living and our current revenue is 160k since April of this year!

Hey guys I just had a lead reach out wandering if we can use another company’s design for us to do the work. What are somethings you would make sure to do, get from, and contractually agree upon with the client for this kind of situation? Any pros/cons, advice in this subject?

Happy Sunday Fellas! I just uploaded a new video in the marketing classroom! These are some of the strategies that have helped me in my business journey! I hope some of these tactics help you out no matter your budget. Let me know what you think! God Bless, Caleb!

Well lads , this one is for the guys who are building patios / outdoor areas . Are you guys designing your own projects? I’m a good builder but I struggle on the design aspect like sketch up and the likes . I find it’s a bit of a disadvantage to me as it’s such a good way to give the client a clear vision of the finished job . Cheers
