As someone in lawncare and landscaping for 20+ years....you could literally do all this yourself and not pay franchise fees. This kid is smart and professional. But....again you could do this yourself
The franchise provides a lot of value tho. You have to check out Mike Andes channel to see what they do. They handle all the estimates and customer service for the franchise’s
@@loganbohler3070 A franchise like this provides value on a scale. If you have a lot of manpower, you would possibly benefit from the reputation of an established business. If you're just one guy, your benefit from this will be limited. You're paying a lot for something that could be accomplished with flyers. Only so much time in a day.
I agree with you. You already have the government in your pocket. As far as customer service On a corporate franchise level. They have the model customers always right. Anybody in landscaping or lawncare knows that isn't correct. I don't knock someone that wants to go with a franchise. Do what works best for you.
THANK YOU. TRULY STARTING FROM SCRATCH IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SHOVEL or a push mower AND DOOR KNOCKING. Nothing else period. THAT IS EXACTLY HOW I STARTED. 10 years later im not even doing landscaping. I sold my equipment and moved into remodeling my true craft... I was raised doing both. Father did landscaping mowing and stepfather Did remodeling. . my average job ticket is 10 thousand dollars. Just signed a contract last night for 7500. And before that 20 thousand. . it can be done with nothing but the drive to do it. I promise. mike is a very cool dude and franchises are right for some but you do not NEED IT . also a warning to anyone starting . this shit is THE HARDEST shit you will EVER DO no joke. There is a reason most ppl dont run their own business. . it will chew you up spit you out then run you over. Then it will circle the block and come back and then run you over again and then back over 7 more times relentlessly. The business does not care. It has no feelings. But the bright side is the reward on the other end. Freedom.that camt be bought from anyone or anywhere.
Watched a few of these lawncare business videos now and they are so informative and inspiring! The video skills are amazing and I love the questions you ask. For example I’ll have a question pop up in my head and then you’ll ask it and it’ll be answered! This channel is a gem. Thanks for your work !
As a person also living in Washington, what do these guys do during the 80% of the year when it's rainy? I want to start a business but the rain is giving me questions.
@Superior Landscape Group LLC Thanks for the info my friend! We are into our second month now, the rain is not stopping this "summer" so we have just figured it out lol. Luckily in Washington we don't typically get snow all that much and when we do it's for a day or two.
Random question but I was curious to know how much lawn mowing typically costs because my building is making some claims that just make no sense and we only have 2 small yards with just grass and no additional things to care for and it just isn’t making sense
So im finding this really hard to believe that he is at 15k for that month. If you work all 30 days in the month he would be making 500$ a day. Can someone who does landscaping and mowing enlighten me on what the rate is going for a weekly or bi weekly maintenance program... What kind of volume would you need to sustain and achieve that number?
HOLDDDD up the guy just said that he averages weekly 5-700... I wish they were straight forward with their videos and answers and actually made them prove some numbers. I dislike @upflip now...
He's making that from reoccuring mows which were 30-70 per cut and took up 1-2 days. You make a lot more on projects that take up the rest of the week. Like installing the garden bed.@@89Johneboy
@@107g you got questions ask me ill tell you the truth my friend. It took me years. But You'll get work immediately. All you need is the drive to NOT WANT THAT 9 TO 5 NO MORE. Within a couple weeks of true hustling and taking every penny to reinvest right back to make job easier and faster you'll be rolling buddy. But it took years including mental break downs in customers houses to build where i am now lettered truck real contracts established business page etc. Alot can be done in just one year tho. It depends on how bad you want it and how many problems you run into. Nobody shows that side of the business. Maybe i should make my own videos to help guys out .
Your right. It’s actually harder than starting from scratch in the beginning because the franchise has to make it’s money. As time goes on things will get better.
It would be interesting to hear more about how he pays people. So there is a base rate for the day and then its 33% of labor. Does this mean he has an overhead percentage calculated that he applies across the board?
Employee pay will vary widely across location and industry. Hopefully we can dive into this business topic for you in future videos Jeffery. Consider it on the "to do" list for business video content!
How you pay yourself will depend a lot on your own personal situation. A lot of people form a corporation and then pay themselves through the corporation. Always smart to talk with an experienced account as what is best for you.
14:45. Dude cut the grass way too deep, putting 10 times the word on yourself spray it with glystar, come back three days later and cut the sod just below the roots.
You keep asking him questions when he should be working. That rental will turn into a full day instead of possible half day. Why not q and a in the truck?
Your lucky dude, no way can I leave my kit on the back of a truck in the Uk dude, it would go walkabout in minutes...... everything needs to be locked away and out of site

Basic business license is recommended

If you don’t have a blower use a hand broom and go side to side
It's always a balance between manual and machine labor.

Happy Easter 🐣🐣

Wow I think I'm really gonna give this a try thanks guys
If you really want to try get a push mower and door knock . start there like i did. You don't need anything else. Then build from there
Go watch keith kalfas.

Buying a Franchise isn't 'starting from scratch'
This kid is a go getter to bad this Mike character sucked him into his “time share” sales pitch
Your right. It’s actually harder than starting from scratch in the beginning because the franchise has to make it’s money. As time goes on things will get better.

Do brian lawn maintenance next
Where are they located?

Another great video!
Thank you Emilio!
Buying into a franchise is hardly starting a "business from scratch". He's done well though. Good on him!
It's actually an advantage since you don't have to learn everything from scratch. Thanks for watching! ☺️
@@UpFlip Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Cheers.
Nice! Cant wait to see how year 2 ends up for him 😜👍🏾
We are working on the 3rd series of the landscaping video content right now and it should be coming out soon!
How do you pay yourself?
How you pay yourself will depend a lot on your own personal situation. A lot of people form a corporation and then pay themselves through the corporation. Always smart to talk with an experienced account as what is best for you.
grate work keep it up
Thanks a lot Puffy G
So being a part of a franchise does he find his own jobs or does the franchise give him the work to do?
He has to go find the jobs, the franchise does all the work from there, the calls and client management.
In that case, a franchise isn't worth it.
The hard part is finding customers and the work itself. The rest is easy.
@@michaelh5055 thank you. Exactly.
Whats the tailgate extender and ramp system on the truck. I'm sick of my trailer that looks great.
You could reach out via social media to get the details Gareth. Are you into lawn care as well?
YoooO! Thats amazing! What is that metal extension thing on the back of the Lad's Augusta truck? Its like a metal frame that extends the length
Thanks for watching! We appreciate you!

Once you see it, you cant unsee it..
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I’ll work with him partnership
Making business connections is always valuable.
Nick is a go getter too bad he got sucked into mikes pyramid scheme and all his fancy “time share” sales pitches
No way is he still looking for help!
Try reaching out to him Caden.
So what happens when this young man decides to sell his business and accounts that's were the big money is made . What kind of a hit does he take . Seems he is building a business for someone else in their name . He buys equipment insurance vehicles and pays for labor in this process .Most of his jobs will come from word of mouth I have owned and sold lawn care businesses' in the past myself Partner expense a phone and lap top .What is the percentage /cut the partner takes .
That's an interesting question. We'll ask that the next time we interview a lawn care business or a similiar one!
Hopefully y’all are paying him for his time and wasting half the day doing these shots
It's not a waste of time for the business owners.
