Mow Trappin Podcast

Another lawn care season is winding down, and this year taught me a lot—not just about running Bone Yard Lawn Service, but about myself.

In Episode #93, I’m breaking down some of the biggest changes and lessons from this season.

I talk about hiring my first employee and what I learned from finally bringing someone into the operation.

I also discuss another season using Urable, improving my route density, adding more weekly customers, and learning that growing a business doesn’t mean saying YES to every job that comes your way.

Going into 2027, pricing has to make sense. The route has to make sense. And the customer has to make sense.

I also give my thoughts on running Echo trimmers, getting ready to line up fall cleanups, and preparing for the next phase of the season.

But one of the biggest changes happened away from the lawns.

The inside work.

I’m completely sober, working on myself, becoming more disciplined, and realizing that growing the man behind the business is just as important as growing the business itself.

Another season. More lessons. More growth.

Topics:
• Hiring my first employee
• Another season using Urable
• Building better route density
• Getting more weekly customers
• Why I’m not saying yes to everything anymore
• Pricing correctly for 2027
• My experience with Echo trimmers
• The inside work & being completely sober
• Preparing for fall cleanups

This is Mow Trappin Episode #93.

Mow Trappin Podcast Episode #92 — Equip Expo 2026 is coming October 20–23 in Louisville, Kentucky, and if you’re going, you need a PLAN.

Equip Expo is huge. Between the equipment, manufacturers, outdoor demos, networking, education, creators, events and thousands of people, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and spend the entire trip walking around without accomplishing what you actually came for.

In this episode, I break down how to approach Equip Expo with a purpose, manage your time, decide who and what you need to see, network the right way, create content, and make sure you leave the event with something that can actually help your lawn care business.

Don’t just GO to Equip Expo.

Make Equip Expo WORK FOR YOU.

What happens to a lawn care business when the grass stops growing? The work may slow down, but the bills, equipment costs, insurance, fuel, and overhead don’t disappear.

In Episode #91 of the Mow Trappin’ Podcast, I’m talking about working through a drought, dealing with slow-growing and dormant lawns, and why professional lawn care prices don’t automatically drop just because Mother Nature changes the conditions.

When the rain comes and the grass is thick, overgrown, and takes twice as long, we don’t double the customer’s price. A sustainable lawn care business has to price for the entire season—not just the easiest week.

10 years ago, I was sleeping in my niece’s bed thanks to my sister, with a felony on my record. Today, that felony has been removed, I’m six years into building Bone Yard Lawn Service, and we’ve reached Episode #90 of the Mow Trappin Podcast.

This episode is about belief, timing, perseverance, and working when your current situation doesn’t match the future you see for yourself.

Your past doesn’t have to determine your future. Keep believing, keep building, and WORK UNTIL IT WORKS.

Success isn’t just about making more money or growing a business. It’s about taking inventory of the three things that make success possible—your mind, your body, and your spirit.

In Episode 89 of the podcast, we’re talking about why your mindset determines your direction, why your health is your greatest asset, and why resilience is the key to overcoming obstacles. As entrepreneurs, lawn care professionals, and business owners, we spend so much time maintaining our trucks, trailers, mowers, and equipment that we often forget to maintain ourselves.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why your mindset shapes your success
• How your physical health affects your business
• The importance of resilience and a winning spirit
• Questions to help you evaluate where you are today
• Practical ways to improve your mind, body, and spirit every day

Whether you’re in the lawn care industry, landscaping, pressure washing, or running any small business, this episode will challenge you to become the strongest version of yourself because your business can only grow as much as you do.

Summer is the toughest part of the lawn care season. The heat is intense, equipment starts breaking down, unexpected expenses show up, family responsibilities increase, and burnout becomes real.

In Episode #88 of the Mow Trappin Podcast, we’re talking about how to push through the hardest months of the season without losing sight of the goals you set at the beginning of the year. Whether you’re running a solo lawn care business or managing a crew, this episode is about staying mentally tough and finishing the season stronger than you started.

If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or questioning whether it’s worth it, this conversation is for you.

Topics Covered:

* Lawn care burnout
* Working in extreme summer heat
* Equipment failures
* Unexpected business problems
* Family and work-life balance
* Staying motivated
* Finishing the lawn care season strong
* Building a profitable lawn care business

Halfway through the year is the perfect time to stop and ask yourself some hard questions. What’s working in your lawn care business? What’s not working? Are you making progress or staying stagnant?

In this episode of Mow Trappin, we’re talking about making adjustments before the year gets away from you. Fall is right around the corner, but the opportunities don’t stop. You can still gain customers, increase revenue, improve your systems, and finish the year stronger than you started.

We’ll discuss:

✅ Mid-year business evaluation
✅ What’s working and what needs to change
✅ Why it’s not too late to adjust
✅ Getting customers in the fall
✅ Preparing for next season now
✅ Building momentum instead of becoming stagnant
✅ Asking yourself where you want to be by this time in 2027

The question isn’t whether you have time left this year—the question is what you’re going to do with it.

If you’re serious about growing your lawn care business, creating financial freedom, and building a life by design, this episode is for you.

Can a solo lawn care operator really reach $10,000+ per month with only 50 customers?

In this episode of the Mow Trappin Podcast, I break down why I believe most lawn care businesses chase the wrong numbers. More customers doesn’t always mean more profit. The goal isn’t 100 lawns—it’s the right 50.

We discuss route density, pricing, weekly vs biweekly mowing, profit margins, customer quality, time freedom, and why a 4-day route may be the smartest move for a solo lawn care business.

If you’re trying to grow a lawn care business in 2026, this episode will help you focus on profit instead of just customer count.

In episode #85, I’m talking about why lawn care business owners have to update the way they run their service. Prices, routes, equipment, customers, and the economy are not the same anymore. I’ll break down how I adjusted my prices, why mowing can wear your body down, and why older guys in the industry have to get smarter with pricing, routing, and systems instead of trying to outwork everybody.

The mowing season is just getting started, and now is the time to push harder for more lawn care customers. In this episode, I talk about buying a Segway to help move faster between properties, save time during the workday, and increase efficiency while mowing lawns. Small time savings every stop can add up BIG over an entire season.

I also break down simple lawn care marketing strategies that can help bring in more properties without spending a ton of money. From yard signs on corner lots to adding marketing on your truck and trailer, visibility matters when you’re trying to grow a lawn care business.

In this episode we talk about:

• Using a Segway in lawn care
• Saving time while mowing
• Lawn care efficiency tips
• How to get more mowing customers
• Yard sign marketing strategies
• Trailer and truck branding
• Growing a lawn care business
• Route density and time management
• Lawn care business mindset
• Building momentum early in the season

If you’re trying to grow your lawn business, become more efficient, and increase profits this season, this episode is for you.
