Hey guys if you want to leave an encouraging word for Gabe, leave a comment down below!
Thanks again for showing us your setup Gabe, you’re crushing it!
Hey boss I would love some help I'm 35 live in New Mexico recently picked up some contracts for Dollar General
Gabe is motivating me fir sure
I would like some help on how to do some stuff
Congratulations to him 👏 🙌 bright future ahead and knowledgeable. Brian will give a quick shout DSA landscaping.
Thank you Brian for having me on the show! And thanks to the sponsors!
I’ve been doing irrigation installation and service for over 20 years now. There is real good money in it for sure. Pin down your worth and hold your ground. $60-$70 an hour is easy to charge once you get some experience under your belt and carry inventory with you. Keep up the hard work young man and don’t let the ladies distract you in the years to come.
@luv sif I am about to!
@@GabesLawnCareLLC Thanks for the tie down strap idea, seems like a good product.
@@teddyxruxpin yeah they are awesome!
Wow what a smart, young man who has a great family behind him and his own incentive to do what he likes and grow a business go Gabe
The fact that he is 15 years old an has more work ethic then most adults keep on rippin man you will be successful an your going places in life! Wish some of the younger generations of kids had your work ethic nicely done for sure man.
I love to see more young people in lawn care landscaping and 15 in Central Florida I do everything totally solo since I don’t have my license I have to pull with a lawn tractor but I’ve been able to do about 15 properties with my ex mark 32 inch stand on I just picked up at the beginning of the year
Brian, I am also a 15 year old with a lawn care, I have 21 customers in my neighborhood that I do weekly spring-fall. and I live in Shelby Charter Township Michigan, and would love to be interviewed so much it would be my dream to meet someone that has helped me out so much.
Love to see it man
best lawn service ive ever seen
👍
You got it homie :)
keep doing you man
Me and my neighbor are 13 and 14 and made our own 4x8 trailer that we can pull with our bikes. We have 15 clients per week and growing, we also use all electric ego and ryobi tools and have grown a huge lineup. It's awesome to see other teens taking on landscaping and growing their businesses at a young age.
I love it. Puts a smile on my face to see these youngsters staying out of trouble and being productive oh and also crushing it out there. Awesome job Gabe. 👏🏽
Gabe is an inspiration to me. I have about 15 lawns as well, 14 years old using my ebike and custom trailer I built to haul my equipment. If you ever are in the Ann Arbor area that would be fun to do a vid like this
Never ceases to amaze me how bright this generation is. Well done guy's, good video and to you Gabe, your in such a head start for life my man. Your going places.
I’m really impressed by this kid I started when I was 13 I’m now 18 and started getting into the hardscaping this year he is way ahead of where I was at at 15 keep it up kid
I remember Gabe from the leaf removal video you did, and was impressed with him back then. Glad that you got a chance to catch up with him and got more in-depth about his business. I too was mowing lawns at 15 but no where near his level. Gave is very mature for his age and he definitely knows his stuff. And, very impressive trailer and equipment setup he has going. I wish him nothing but the best for the future and growing his business to its full potential. It is rare these days to see a teenager at this level and its very refreshing .
What a great young man. He will end up with 20 crews and will be doing $100k jobs. He's very smart to be doing something he loves. I understand. I too was fortunate enough to do what I loved. I started planting trees with my dad at age 6. They were tiny oaks. They are now a good 150' tall and wide.. I loved running any kind of equipment. Had a Bobcat in 1980 and an old Calif Highway Dept. dump truck and never looked back. Then I also loved lighting. I had done that when touring with musical groups. Between the landscaping and lighting I started landscape lighting co that grew into installations and temporary lighting for events.
I would highly recommend he investigate the lighting aspect of landscaping. If you're doing sprinklers, it goes hand in hand with it. Buy some low voltage lights and experiment with them to see what you can do. A lot of wiring can go in with sprinkler pipe and wiring. You can make a lot with lightning and it's very satisfying. Good luck.
Awesome lawn care setup Gabe! Keep up the hard work and we look forward to seeing your setup keep growing!
Love to see it. Good luck to Gabe and thankful for good guys like Brian out there making the industry a better place.
This is so cool. Thanks for putting Gabe in the spotlight Brian, and good luck Gabe! You'll be an inspiration for other young ones getting started up! Keep it up!
Great to see a youngster killing it in today's world.....
Fantastic! This is what America needs more of!
Nice to see the young guy getting it done. Decent equipment for his age. Way to go young man. 💪👊
What a great video dude! You knocked it out of the park!
Congrats Gabe, hanging out on your mower will serve you better than hanging out on social media. Keep up the hard work young man, you have a bright future!
love seeing young kids with so much hussle in them .
Great video - thanks for supporting the young bucks!
Was one of most inspiring videos have watched yet. That young man rocks! Wow!
THAT IS AN AWESOME MOTIVATED YOUNG MAN!!!!!
Good to see videos like this! Reminds me of the lawn care business success podcast, and his interviews with lawn guys. Keep these comming!
Also good to see some local people in the detroit area.
Great video!
Nice to see kids who want to work hard especially since no adults want to work!
What an awesome idea for this! I'm glad to see some people are still generous and kind still. 13 here in Florida and working towards growing.
Gabe you are awesome!!Keep up the hard work. Your future is extremely bright.
This is awesome thank you!
Representing Livonia! Awesome Gabe!
Great way to give back to the community. Words cannot explain what this whole experience could do to his future and biz. Well done Brian and sponsors!!!
🤘✊
Love this kids hustle.
That's awesome!
Gabe is the man!!!
Super cool to see the passion and the straight up hustle.
That guy is going places. Entrepreneurship like this is so underated in the school system but so important in society. Keep it up Gabe!!
This young man has the long term structured plan in his head. In a interesting career all the best for your future 👍
Super young man! Need more like him!
Best wishes to Gabe and his future in Lawn Care 💯✂️
I'm 15 and have always loved mowing and watching the neighbors lawn care company mow. I now have 9 clients and hope to more than double that next year. I'm rocking with a Echo srm225, Echo pb2520, Echo 58v hedge trimmer, Honda HRR residential push mower, a commercial Toro 21 and a 5x8 landscape trailer.
Awesome Zach!
This young man is awesome 👏

Best wishes Gabe! You deserve every credit for such dedication at such a young age. Hats of to you sir!
It’s really great to see today’s youth getting into this industry, and this young man at his age, having the work ethic he has, is absolutely awesome. He will go far with his ambitions and drive. Huge thumbs up to you Brian, and the sponsors, for the positive enforcement and encouragement.

Absolutely good luck to your business!
This kid is such a freaking BOSS 🤣
These guys make me believe in humanity and bring optimism and trust in the future. Thanks a lot for the video. Greetings from Europe.
This kid reminds me of a little Caleb Alman….. keep up the hard work Gabe!
I just started last year at 18 and I just grew my business with all new equipment this year and looking to double my size next year. Looking to buy my first truck here very soon.
I am 13 and started when I was 10 so I have been doing it for 3 years now and I love it
Fellow Michigangander here brian and lawn and snow guy outta saginaw very impressed by your channel i love to see how you highlight the young guys and help them out very cool man keep up your great work
I have a nephew in northern W. Va. Who has started lawn care business. He was around 14 when he started and is now I believe 17 or so. Not sure how far you want to travel but he would be a great interview! Let me know. Always look forward to your videos.
I was a full time grounds keeper when I was 14-16 at my church
Hey Brian! I am 16 and have 3 zero turns, a diesel truck and a dump trailer. You should review me.

That’s one smart kid 👍🏼
What a cool dude, has all the makings of a great business owner at such a young age!
All you 14 - 15 year olds in the comments with success stories are really inspiring. At that age I never thought of starting a business or mowing lawns. Keep going fellas you will go far 👏🏻
These videos are next level
I needed a string trimmer and bought an Echo from a locally owned shop because Echo sponsored this series for you. I’m a born and raised metro-Detroit guy, transplanted down to FL. Keep up the great work. 🐊
Boys got it goin on!
See a bright future for this young man .....love it
Definitely one of my favorite videos. I hope Gabe moves forward and succeeds. Gabe, always stay humble and don't forget; God, family and hard work.👍👊
Amazing work and great attitude, I wish I was this good at that age.

Hey great interviews my grandson and I are enjoying Gabe and Hendrix. It’s awesome to see these young men growing the businesses. My grandson Jaxton is 9 and just getting started in his first summer jobs. Getting started and watching these entrepreneurs. Very inspiring.
Love that!
Brian, my opinion this separates you from many other channels out there. I say it a lot but you don’t clickbait, keep it 💯 real and you’re actually listening to this young man, he’ll remember it forever.
Hey thanks Bobby, that means a lot.
This kid is killing it wish I was doing it at that age
Hey! My names Gabe and I'm 15 as well and have been thinking about doing a lawncare business too lol this is great inspiration!
Gabe is an inspiration to me))))
That’s how I started with the craftsman riding mower then exmark quest now I got the radis next going to be the laszer
I like that kid! He's going places
I love this video. Great to see hard working youth. He has a bright future. He should start a You Tube channel.
I do have one! I am about to post more.
What's up Brian! I'm Trey I'm 17 and started lawn care in 2019 at 15. I definitely felt his pain with almost being stuck because of not having a license. But this last two years has been amazing for me. This year in particular has been super awesome. I'm up to 20 weekly lawns and I'd say about 50 regular customers for landscaping and misc. jobs. Running a John Deere z425 and a John Deere 652r stander. I bought an 03 f250 with a straight blade for snow removal and have about 30 residential and 4 commercial clients lined up. The previous years I ran a four wheeler with a blade and snow blowers. I got to run the blade a little bit at the end of last winter and what a game changer! Anyhow there a brief bit of my story/business. lmk if you need another interviewer ;)
That’s awesome buddy! Keep it going!
Very nice to see. Future is definitely bright and big for the kid.
This kid is awesome
That’s awesome
Good job Gabe, hope you suceed in everything you do! On the end question, I am 17, starting out this year, so far I have a Honda 21" walk behind, Echo PB500, Stihl FS40C, and a Cub Cadet RZT L 54 I am going to be renting to own from a family member, I also I am currently trying to get a 6x12 utility trailer.
I am 14 I have my own business I’ve been doing it for about 3 years at the moment I have a echo 2620 trimmer and a echo 8010 And also a PB 2620 handheld blower I also have 2 5 gallon sure can and a 2 1/2 gallon sure can and I have a Toro titan HD 1500 with a 48 inch deck
