This guy is chill. Seems legit. People tend to do well coming from more of a white collar job going into blue collar business. I worked for a guy that was college educated had a engineering job and then started a business. He did really well. The previous work experience teaches organization skills and consistency. Clients love that. Also most clients he has are likely college educated and will vibe well with him.
I'm an ex-offender that created a workforce development program called Urban Roots Apprenticeship. It focuses on the basics of tree care and landscaping. As soon as I saw the name I clicked. I sent my guys this video. I want them to see that they can change their lives in this industry. Keep the good content coming!
As a business owner myself in my mid twenties, totally crushing it dude. Keep striving for greatness. You’ll definitely make it happen. Cheers to more life & success 🚀
🌴As long as I have work Monday through Friday, I’m not working weekends that’s family time I’m good I don’t need to bring in a whole lot of money just enough money to keep a roof over my family head💯💪🏽😎👍🏽
3 & 5 year old kids what a great age. You will never get this time in their life back. There will always be time for business don't squander this time with your children. That's a time investment that will provide an immeasurable in ROI. This from a old guy 27 years in the upscale residential maintenance business. I have 28 team members in the field. I have 5 kids I wish I had spent more time with. I thought I gave them enough time but it's obvious now I didn't. My perception of their childhood and theirs is so very different.
So cool! I sat next to him at one of the landscape summit meetings. He was so nervous at starting. But so happy to see that he is crushing it!! Gah, so awesome!!
Awesome story, you can tell it’s a top notch company. Off to a great start in business and he’s creating a very bright future for himself. Excellent film making too!
So proud of what Dylan has accomplished in year 1!!! Such a great guy.... I knew he would do well after speaking with him prior to the season starting.
These types of videos are inspiring. I gave up a career in the kitchen to pursue a dream of working for myself and had no metric to gauge my progress in the industry apart from the sanford and sons guys that mow blow and go for 35$ a cut - for the last 20 years - without raising their prices. The bigger guys and bigger companies are somewhat unapproachable and don't really know how to get ahold of the folks that make the decisions. These videos are very helpful. Another aspect of the transparency of these videos is, while folks may be attracted to the income stream potential to this industry, they lack the foresight of being able to keep cool and manage the environmental hardships that come with this industry - especially here in Central Florida - and the burnout that eventually sets in for the standards needed in order to maintain customer satisfaction.
I really wish teacher pay was reconsidered. It's amazing to see how intelligent this guy is. I feel so engaged listening to him and feel like I would be very interested in anything he talks about.
Rental equipment is a great way to get into larger landscape install projects. We prefer Herc Rentals. If you set up an account it can really help with cash flow. We have 30 days to make a payment on the account. This allows for time to finish the job and collect for the remaining balance before having to incur that cost. 3/4 or 1 ton truck and a dump trailer is a great investment.
Video quality is top notch, then again wouldn't expect anything less from Mike Andes. Salute to Dylan for cracking 200k in your first year, that's crazy. I'm a solo op with 63 clients and I'm really curious how you were able to generate that type of revenue doing push mowing with one employee. Not at all hating but congratulating. Dylan, how many residential clients do you have and on average how many lawns are mowed per week? And what is the average lot size and price per mow if you don't mind me asking. Efficiency must be flawless!
Thanks Sir. We are ending the season with 30 clients (weekly and bi weekly) We mow one day a week, which can be 1.5 days in the Spring and Fall. 3-4 days a week are spent on landscaping jobs such as cleanups, sod and bark installation. Average lot size might be 8k square ft (small residential). Some clients are as low as $40-$120 per visit. Bi-weekly clients visits are charged 50% more than weekly price. We offer basic mowing, bed maintenance and bush trimming for recurring clients. I wanted to gain more than 30 clients this year but I was very strict in my service area (1.5 mile radius) Also, my close ratio for maintenance clients was probably less than 50%, so I’m not the cheapest guy in town. We try to provide quality work to justify the prices our clients pay. Hope this helps.
@@urbanrootslandscaping3874 I am thinking I would like to offer plant bed maintenance services this season to our RIsland customers. Can you give me an idea of what you offer in the scope of bed maintenance and how you charge for it.
@@stevenclark5450 because we are small residential, we do a lot of one-time cleanups to get the property into shape before we maintain it. After the cleanup, we add 15-20 min of additional time per property to maintain the beds. For example, I’d we budget 30 minutes for mowing. We would budget 45 minutes for mowing and bed maintenance. We then multiply our budgeted time by our hourly rate. .75 (45min) x $80 per hour. Each visit in this example will be $60. Bush services we itemize separate. Some people like a single visit, but some people opt in for our bush trimming package (3 x a year). We schedule bush trimming as it’s own job. Hope this helps.
@@urbanrootslandscaping3874 Thanks so much for your reply! Sounds like your plant bed maint consists mostly of weeding? If this is a recurring lawn & plant bed customer, might your bed maintenance include you putting down a Preen weed preventer, or giving their plant bed edges some refreshing/reshaping with a shovel or bed redefiner tool to give them a new crisp look? I am very interested in adding plant bed maintenance service to my customers this season and looking for great ideas.
@@stevenclark5450 Sorry for any typos because I am using voice dictation in my response. With that said, we redefine all the beds as part of the general cleanup to onboard our clients. I often upsell them on beauty bark during the cleanup. Or in the estimate for the cleanup. I do not have my applicators license, so I give my clients A slightly lower rate if they use preen or Casoron. The clients who do not like to use pre-emergent for the beds, I tell them that it may be a little more pricey because the time we spend on the property will be increased to keep up on all the wedding.
I also operate a small landscaping business in the same area. I see his logo all the time and even bid on some of the same projects. My wife and I build our website ourselves on square space around his and a couple others design. Watching this video really makes me want to reach out for a meeting. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Go big man strive for domination, don’t be a player in the industry be a dominator, I work for a large lawn care company we do treatments only we don’t mow or landscape but we have 8 offices and constantly adding , the company is gross 40 million per year with a 25% growth minimum every single year since the company started
We try to bunch a few locations into one area. We just did Austin, TX. If you can get 1-2 other local landscapers to apply it will almost definitely get on the show... just to be most efficient for the camera crew
I really like the rig he set up for yourself. The only issue I have is that it’s illegal to cover the back number plate. I wouldn’t be able to drive like that without having some issues with the cops here in Australia. The number plate would have to be attached to the small mower trailer on the back. Just wondering what the guy would have to say about that…
Revenue is good...net profit is the bottom line that counts. When you stated you were finally able to take some money out of the business to help pay for things at home, that sounds like the business is not very profitable. Maybe your reinvesting back into the company, but 30 clients does not seem like many...especially when a competitor can undercut your prices and take the cream of the crop.
Sounds like a great start and great video but I need some clarification on this. After my first year in business and just breaking about 40K, how is did this guy and 1 employee hit 200K with 2-21in mowers and some hand tools?? Thats $640/day, 6 days a week for the entire year. I can't make sense of it.
Hi from Belgium. Can anyone tell me what is the size of the BRUTE container at 9:40min ?? for the moment I'm working with bigbags but I discovered the brute brand thanks to this video and want to buy some containers to try an other method. Thanks in advance
This is a great point. I admire those who grind to make a business work without similar supports, as myself. One thing to consider though is that my wife and I have invested in each other for 20 yrs to make this leap. I would like to see another startup video too, to show someone who has taken a different path.
So 200k in first year. Living in Washington what is lawncare season.. maybe 40 weeks tops. So that is 5 grand a week. Which is roughly 850$ a day going 6 days a week. Which all adds up to 11.5 yards per day and being able to charge on average 75 bucks per yard. Something ain't right here. Just can't figure that out. If I can figure out just around 125k a year I would be going full time also. There wasn't enough information on how he did 200k in first year to believe.
Please keep in mind a large portion of our revenue was from landscaping as well. Material cost on sod, bark and gravel jobs and rental fees all factor into the total revenue. We also performed lawn care for about 80% of our clients as recurring winter services. We were a little slower in the winter but still kept pretty busy all year. Feel free to reach out if you have questions. I’d love it chat.
@@urbanrootslandscaping3874 so is 200k factoring in all the material costs you had to pay out of pocket for landscaping. Then counting that same money when paid back from the customer? I mean I make 100k a year construction working. Thats straight income to me. I don't pay anything for material. The company does that. Only under cost of my salary is gas getting to the job site. It sounds like your counting money in from your customer for material costs when u guys pay initially. And just get your money back at the end
@@jheiny1231 that is correct. For example, if we charge a client $500 for a mulch job, that would include the cost of materials (mulch), delivery fees, and labor charged to client. This is my gross (total) revenue reported in the video.
@@urbanrootslandscaping3874 thank you for that. I thought the push mower was as it says on the tin..ie you push it! That’s why I cold not understand why someone going into business would choose a mower they would push rather than a self propelled mower…
Ain’t no way you’re pulling $200k with 2 push mowers and 1 Employee. How about some specifics (don’t even give your prices lol how many homes per day, square footage?) the gentleman that was working with you in the vid is quite over weight (not trying to be rude) but you’re telling me that you and that guy are generating 200k in revenue a year (the first year 😂) ? Please forgive my sarcasm, but at least attempt to be believable. By the way excellent production, nice uniforms, cool website (I’m not hating) I just don’t want young guys to think that this is practical or even possible their first year. There’s enough capping on UA-cam.
Keep in mind this is in Seattle area where cost of living is much higher and you can charge $80-100/hr for labor. One of our franchisees will do almost $250K in 2021 (his first year) with one employee not too far from Dylan. It is possible.
Any young man or woman is welcome to reach out to me for more details. I’m an open book. I love learning from others as well. It is important for me to acknowledge that I do have a great support system with my family and some start-up capital. 200k is certainly possible for your first year, with adequate preparation. And my employee is awesome!
@@urbanrootslandscaping3874 Great video - I think this disciplined & focused approach (IE crazy route density through next door/flyers/Google My Business & saying no to a 36" stand-on in favor of small efficient yards) is extremely rare in green industry and can lead to massive margins. Appreciate the video!
@@calebbennett5751 the truck works well. Both trucks have under 100K miles. Several of my properties have right spaces that wouldn’t accommodate a 30 inch.
