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

On Podcast 83, Bone Yard Lawn Service talks about why ugly 2-week yards can still be VERY profitable with the right pricing, equipment setup, and mowing system. A lot of lawn care companies avoid overgrown properties, but sometimes the roughest lawns bring the biggest checks when route density, efficiency, and expectations are managed correctly.

This episode breaks down profitable lawn care pricing, solo lawn care strategy, overgrown lawn accounts, time management, route efficiency, and the difference between pretty lawns and profitable lawns. If you’re trying to grow a lawn care business, increase profit margins, or understand how smart operators make money on difficult properties, this podcast is for you.

Podcast Episode 82 is about building strategy in today’s economy while prices keep going up. I talk about lawn care, business decisions, staying profitable, managing expenses, and why you have to think before you move when everything costs more.

As a business owner, every dollar matters — fuel, equipment, repairs, trucks, bills, and time. This episode is about adjusting your mindset, protecting your money, and making smarter moves so your business can keep growing even when the economy gets tough.

Tonight’s episode hits different.

Being a single father in lawn care isn’t just about cutting grass — it’s about responsibility, pressure, and showing up every single day no matter what.

In this episode, I talk about the real grind behind running a lawn care business while raising kids on your own. No excuses, no days off, and no one coming to save you.

This is for every dad out there handling business and family at the same time.

If you know, you know.

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.

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.

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.

 • Why cheap customers will keep you stuck

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.

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.

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.
