MY STORY:
After serving six years in the United States Army as a Staff Sergeant, I knew that I wanted to get into the world of business. Consequently, I decided to work on crafting my sales skills.
In 2020, I was in a Sales role for a marketing start-up in Austin, TX, and on the side, I would mow a few yards for some extra cash. Keep in mind, I had a 21” push mower, an electric leaf blower, and an electric string trimmer folded into the back of my wife’s 2011 Ford Focus.
After giving my life to Jesus Christ on Easter in 2021, a woman named Tamalia Scott told me that she believed God wanted me to pursue lawn care full-time.
After a few sleepless nights and endless prayer, I decided to quit my sales job and pursue lawn care full-time in April of 2021. Since then, by the grace of God, we have surpassed $1,000,000 in sales and have two lawn care locations throughout Central Texas. Over the next 10 years, it is our goal to have 12 locations throughout Central Texas.
Throughout the journey of owning a lawn care company, I have learned MANY valuable business principles through trial and error. It has now become a passion of mine to help smaller lawn care businesses scale their companies past $500,000 in annual revenue.

If the first lawn took 20 minutes how much time is spent mowing with a stand on mower, and combined time weed, edge and blowing. It's currently taking me 20 minutes to mow 5,700 sq ft property with 1,000 sq ft home with single car garage. Then 15 minutes WEB (weed,edge,blow) for 35 min service time. I'm trying to decide if the stand on is going to be worth it.
Is that your guy's solo setup? What size properties are you guys doing?
We use the same set up for both 2 person crews and solo routes (minus 1 blower). Average property size is 6,000 sqft
Man I’m trying to get like y’all boys. Love the content!
Thank you!!
Can you do one where they reject? Lol
Man this makes me wanna get mine truck wrapped. Looks great! 👍🏾
Let’s get it!!!
From the title I thought the job you were doing was 6k+ 😅
Gotta get views somehow! LOL $2,900 on the job!
I use Cub Cadet. I have their 33 inch walk behind and the 30 inch mini tractor. I just stick to country yards. The mini tractor is fun to ride i can ride it all day. The tractor can also do bagging as well for leaves. My vehicle is a cargo van so I can fit the machines in with no trailer.
Very cool, thanks for sharing!
Good stuff man. Congrats on your success!
Appreciate it!
This video is gold!
Thank you! Do you own a lawn care company as well?
Thanks for sharing the great experience
Glad you enjoyed it!
Do you blow these lawns or do u just mow?
We mow, trim, and blow
The ending tip was huge, thanks Sam!
Thanks brotha!
I thought sales tax was only assessed when you are selling a product, not a service. Do you charge sales tax?
This is dependent on your state. For Texas, lawn care services are required to collect sales tax. The only service we offer that does NOT require sales tax collection, is pet waste removal.
Definitely check your state. Lawn care and landscaping is weird bro
Solid video brother, I would definitely like to see more of this kind of content.
You got it!
Thanks for the video Sam! Do you usually find yourself going through mowing quotes on the phone like this? Curious to see you handle someone who might be on the fence.
I only do follow up calls when we’re needing to fill up the schedule with more BH. Otherwise, I rely on our automated follow up process. I’ll be sure to record more calls and whenever I encounter objections, I’ll be sure to get them posted
@@TheSamGustin perfect, thanks Sam.
Thank you for your insight. If you’re able to do a video showing how you calculate over recovery into your pricing I think that would be really beneficial for us.
Certainly! I’ll make sure I record this video soon
Sam how we can connect with you

Man about to fire Answer First Call Center and get ai these people just aren't getting it.
Amazing advise & great team communication layout!!
Thanks brotha!
You are dropping excellent/high value content. Very impressive. Thank you for sharing this Sam! 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the kind words!
No mortar between the stones? Is it Mortar that fills the gaps and glues the stones together or some type of masonry concrete?
No mortar, they are interlocking retaining wall blocks
Excellent information. Thanks for sharing. Like & subscribed.
Thank you! What other content would you like to see?
Nice job. Enjoyed your informational video.
Thank you!! What other content would you like to see?
Are all of these weekly mows or biweekly?
All bi-weekly
How do you Calculate how many bricks you need ?
What program are you using to get all this info?
Copilot CRM
Been seeing it around town. Looks great!
Thank you!
If you have two people in one truck do you still expect them to produce between $80k-$120k each? If not, what would be your expectation for a 2 man crew?
Great question! This ultimately comes down to your hourly rate. Regardless, we’re seeing roughly $115k per employee per year in a 2 person crew setup
@@TheSamGustin Ok. Thanks for the insight.
We currently do the same method with our landscape jobs. I am a big fan of making calculators with google sheets to save me time. Thanks for your content has been super helpful!
Thank you!!
I don't even go by pictures either. I always say let me come look at it.
I’m in FL I’m glad you mentioned where you are located. We need weekly.
That’s awesome!
This is disgustingly expensive for 2$ concrete blocks at Home Depot minimum should be $600 for everything
Labor is expensive my friend. Charging $600, after taxes, overhead, labor, materials, etc., you might lose money.
Appreciate the video, brother. What software are you using for writing on the screen like that?
Thank you! I just used a note taking app with a green screen background and then edited the green screen to be removed
@@TheSamGustin Nice, thank you. What would you charge on average per square foot for a rock garden installation? I'm trying to quote a neighbor for a small job of about 200 sq ft at 2 inches depth, but unsure how to quote the labor piece. Raw material is about $700 I've calculated for rock, fabric, and sand/soil. Would just be me out there grindin'!
@@TheNoB-EtsyBlog Shoot me an email: sam@troopsmowing.com We can go over all of this there, and potentially hop on a video call for more content to help out other businesses with this as well.
Amazing video!
Great video !! Thanks for sharing
Pretty sick man. I spoke with Will Kelly’s ai assistant yesterday and it was really great. Once we switch over to copilot this fall, we’ll be signing up with an ai assistant going forward. Forget the answering service 👎
Big AI guy
Let’s gooooo!!🔥
This is not overgrown. I just push mowed an over grown lawn that was taller than the push mower.
This was also like our 17th pass and 2nd day on this property
Whats this ai software website?
It’s called Goodcall
Nice! Would you mind sharing the name? I currently have a Bot for instant quotes on our site
What platform did you build this off of?
It’s called Goodcall
Sam, was wondering if you could make a sales call video where you had to get sales-ly like you mentioned at the end of the video?
Absolutely!
Why are we whispering lol?
BUSTIN!
Loving your content. God bless!
Thank you so much!
Skills!
Thanks my man! I hope your season is going amazing!
@@TheSamGustin likewise!
Thanks for this Sam!
I'm down the road in Kyle near Austin
Awesome! How’s business over there?
@@TheSamGustin good, it keeps me busy. Lots of competition
