- In today's video, I run a few errands around town, we go to the local lawn mower/ equipment dealers. Compare some of the different landscapes and hardscapes in the area. Talk about some of the business struggles. I also went on my first marketplace adventure in Florida!

No offense and you do you, but I would have rather seen you out hustling this video. Equipment is cool and all but the purpose of you going to florida was to get a winter job up and going. Make it happen capt.! Love the vids
If I were you I would Get on Facebook groups and get any jobs you can for now. Weather it’s a cleanup or pruning job.
U and Asher have to fix stuff we could tell something was up
Hi Henrik. Sorry to hear about you and Asher. Hopefully you guys patch things up. You make a good team together that I can see. Love watching your journey in growing the business. Keep grinding it and you guys will get work. Keep that chin up.
It‘s one thing being friends, and a whole different spectrum living 24/7 together! Stick to it, step back and it‘ll all work out. 👍
this is our so called slow season. not much grows but great time to do clean ups and landscapes. all cool man it sounds like your frustrated and guilty of having fun and letting the grind slip some.
I like how you two look at the big picture and are always putting your best foot forward while understanding the need to explore your new market in FL. You two rock and keep on trucking. I wish you the best in your business venture!
It strikes me that the piedmont south from AL to NC, places like Atlanta, Charlotte, etc. would have plants and terrain more in keeping with what you are familiar with. Also the season in these places is basically year around. Where I’m speaking of anything to the east or south of the Appalachian’s. FLA is its own unique animal, and the high end spots are hard to crack. It’s sad you guys seem to have come apart. I ran my own landscape business when I was younger, and it was for the reason that you can’t control anyone else’s actions or motivations. You have been so focused and determined all these years. Just understand that your level of conscientiousness is not that common. I think a great manager of a business like your’s is one who figures out how to find a steady supply of great workers, because the great ones are going to more on. But, no worries, a few setbacks are required to move forward. All the best to you!
Decades ago I ran a painting and home improvement business with 2 friends. It wasn't intended to be permanent, so we felt we had to get things going quickly too. We found homeowners in a few locations that agreed to hire us for just the material costs. Our stipulation was they had to allow us to put a sign out for 1 month or more. Most agreed to help with word of mouth. We quickly got 1s and 2s in extra jobs that then led to more. We were also the new guys in town. Maybe some strategy along those lines might work for you guys.
I wanted to sub and turn on post notis but I seen there is no consistency in this series, this series has AMAZING potential please keep uploading on this subject!
Keep this up man we are very much enjoying and seeing these new types of videos down south love it keep going man
PEACE, brother. Give yourself a little room to breathe; this is supposed to partially be a vacation. Don't let this ruin your partnership ( even though it is temporary, but if you learn to work together, it could be hugely successful; never know ) or your friendship. OR your experience in Florida, in general.
You guys will find something. It's also good to network, whether it be through youtube, or just going out and organically meeting local landscapers and lawncare providers. You can team up, get referrals, or subcontract for somebody. I wonder if you guys are close to Moreno landscaping or Florida Turf Pros.... Are Al Blades and AP in Florida, too? I think they are....maybe they can help out a fellow youtuber and his partner.
Have fun, be safe.
Happy Birthday Hedrick!! Consider going 1 hour northeast to Sumter and Lake Counties. 1000's of new houses just waiting for new hardscape and other landscape upgrades!
Happy late birthday my little buddy..
An issue you may run into in FL is we are very leery of being ripped off. There are many shady vendors down here. We want to pay after the job is complete, using licensed and insured workers.
Here in the Washington DC area, after taking off most of December, the professional landscape crews are starting their spring commercial work and offering their residential customers a discount for early spring clean-up, gutter cleaning, hauling away junk and rotted wood, as well as the grindings if someone had a tree trunk ground out. God Bless.
Real Video! Also i think you should watch Oliver Lester, window cleaning salesman. He will help you implement in your pitch.
I’ve been watching you for awhile. I live here in Florida maybe 40 minutes from your house. I hope it works out I’ve also lived in Michigan in the past God bless you.
Also check out the Naples area there are a lot of rich snow birds down here
Happy Birthday Henrik!!
If I were you, I would put my ass back in my truck and head back to Michigan. You contradicted yourself. When you say it’s grind time and you need to put 110% Hahah you literally went and spent $500 on wheel spacers bitching about your “partner” not working.
#1 drop your partner!
#2 talk to a few local designers!!
#3 find area where new construction is happening!!
Unfortunately the worst kind of ship is a partnership
hope yall been doing okay.
Yo I just got done snow blowing, but great vid and I think you will definitely succeed, give it some time.
Red flags, don’t ignore them.
Have you ever thought about trying to Do mowing in Florida to
I hope you guys can work out your problems. You will be alot more productive if you are both on the same page. As far as the properties go, I had family in southern Florida and it is quite different than where i am at.(Ct). Since you have equipment with you,You should ask around and see if they are building any new developments in the area. Its Florida, There is always something going on. Maybe you can do some lot clearing or even post construction clean ups or something. Good luck!
You would need a two week lead time for them to shuffle them mowers around to get one out if you bought one at that mower shop! 🤪 Keep hammering down till it turns around for you guys! 👍
Cut spending to bare necessities, and market like crazy. You could even try Eddm campaign and target certain communities and come back through with door hangers.
Check out around golf courses there a lot rich people that come down to golf during the winter and anywhere we’re there is new construction
I am in Sarasota I own Wyatt’s TopNotch lawn care!
Great video
Henrik! We need a updated video!
Do you miss plowing snow back home in your area
It doesnt snow here anymore
@@nick7.398 Southeastern PA neither. Those were the days.
Waite till spring probably have hard time keeping up
Dude there’s bunch of houses on 7mile rd and beck rd with brick paver drive ways. As well all the subdivisions around northville HS you must of not came across one
royal edger and mower is a great place thats my dealer. Roy up there is awsome most of the time. viper mini skids are good too. The crew up up at royal are awsome. If need any other assistance reach out to me man. im in clearwater. dont have a massive shop. but im down if you ever are.
Make flyers go to each house and every block you can make door flyers online …
Whether its a money related disagreement or the fact that you were not a lot more serious at the start. Try to think clearly and do the right thing and learn by mistakes. Its ok to fall. Just get back to the business of earning money
Looks like lots of hanging out not a lot of working / trying to get work, if flyers are the hardest your trying good luck
Partnerships are tough and if your not on the same page impossible
I’m sorry but I don’t think your dream is going to work. Having internal problems and partners usually don’t work. You honestly are out of your element there.
Hey man! I’m actually moving down to pinellas county in 2 weeks (from Ohio) would love to get your contact as I’m doing the same thing in starting a second location down there. Let me know!
go to all seasons lawn care in Pasadena talk to Scott Moffett he will help you out
We would love to connect with you? Is this the best platform to reach you?
Low key. Me as an Australian I LOVE watching your day to day stuff. I also run a lawn care bizz here.
Yo Yo I don't really have a shop but I run and Excavation/ Landscaping business in Central Florida right outside of Orlando and I have my own CZcams channel about my business.
I have some good ways of getting big jobs.
It’s very hard to be mature when you brain hasn’t matured yet. However with self awareness it’s possible. I would not be saying “it’s time to get rowdy” after accomplishing very little and would stop going to bonfires/ truck meetups as that’s directly taking energy from your goals
And I think your videos are great, and filming the raw reality may help with supplemental income as you guys get going. Keep grinding! Thanks for the content
Speaking from my own personal experience of starting a landscaping business at age 20 trying to be mature was an internal challenge. Not wanting to be rude honestly wish nothing but success on your endeavors
And I’m just being a couch quarterback I definitely don’t understand your situation better than you. There may be no value in my comments as my perspective of your situation is very limited to CZcams videos lol. Do you brother
