YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok can show you success, but nothing compares to real-life experience and putting in the work. In Episode #95, I reflect on 6 years of building Bone Yard Lawn Service and 4 years on social media, essentially running two businesses while learning that entrepreneurship is often harder than working a traditional 9-to-5. I discuss how social media helped put things into perspective, realizing I wasn’t alone in the grind, and attending my first Equip Expo with just 237 subscribers, where Blades of Grass recognized me. Meeting entrepreneurs who had left their jobs and others building successful businesses while still working opened my eyes to what’s possible. The message is simple: No shortcuts, no handouts. Nothing replaces the discipline, skills, and experience gained from building something day in and day out. Dirty Hands. Clean Money. Experience Over Everything. #MowTrappin #BoneYardLawnService #Entrepreneurship #LawnCareBusiness #DirtyHandsCleanMoney

Mow Trappin Podcast Episode #94 features Lee from Irvin Lawn Service! Lee brings 17 years of lawn care experience to the conversation and shares what he’s learned from nearly two decades in the industry. We talk about his journey in the lawn care business, how the industry has changed, equipment, running a lawn service, and the lessons that only come from years of actually doing the work. One thing that really stands out about Lee’s operation is that 85% of his lawn care business is commercial work. We get into his experience servicing commercial properties, building a business heavily focused on commercial accounts, and what he’s learned along the way. We also dive into Lee’s experience owning and using Chinese lawn care equipment. Why did he buy it? How has it performed? And do you really need equipment from the biggest brands to operate a successful lawn care business? With 17 years in the industry and an operation that’s 85% commercial, Lee brings a perspective that newer lawn care business owners don’t always get to hear. If you’re starting a lawn care business, growing a home service business, trying to land more commercial lawn care accounts, or you’ve been cutting grass for years, there are plenty of gems in this conversation. 🎙️ Mow Trappin Podcast Episode #94 🌱 Guest: Lee — Irvin Lawn Service 🏢 85% Commercial Lawn Care 💰 Lawn Care Business | Commercial Accounts | Equipment | Entrepreneurship | 17 Years of Experience Subscribe to Bone Yard Lawn Service for more real-world lawn care business conversations, equipment discussions, commercial lawn care talk, and the 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.

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. 🌱 Working through drought conditions 💰 Why lawn care prices don’t drop 📈 Pricing your business for profit ☀️ Handling slow-growing lawns 🚜 Building a lawn business that survives tough seasons #LawnCare #LawnCareBusiness #Drought #MowTrappin #Landscaping #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusiness

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. #WorkUntilItWorks #Entrepreneurship #Motivation #LawnCareBusiness #MowTrappin

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 successHow your physical health affects your businessThe importance of resilience and a winning spiritQuestions to help you evaluate where you are todayPractical 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.

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. #LawnCareBusiness #LawnCare #Entrepreneur #SmallBusiness #MowTrappin #BusinessGrowth #Landscaping #SelfEmployment #Motivation #BoneYardLawnService

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. #LawnCareBusiness #LawnCare #MowTrappin #LandscapingBusiness #SmallBusiness #Entrepreneur #LawnService #RouteDensity #BusinessGrowth #SoloOperator

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 careSaving time while mowingLawn care efficiency tipsHow to get more mowing customersYard sign marketing strategiesTrailer and truck brandingGrowing a lawn care businessRoute density and time managementLawn care business mindsetBuilding 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. lawn care, lawn care business, lawn mowing, lawn care marketing, lawn business, how to grow a lawn care business, lawn care tips, landscaping business, mowing lawns, lawn care setup, lawn care entrepreneur, route density, lawn care efficiency, yard signs for lawn care, trailer setup lawn care, truck marketing, lawn care podcast, Bone Yard Lawn Service, lawn care motivation, lawn care hustle, lawn care equipment, segway lawn care, electric lawn care setup, lawn care route optimization, how to get more lawn care customers

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. #LawnCareLife #SingleDad #EntrepreneurGrind #LawnCareBusiness #Podcast81
