Can’t wait to see Tim & the team back down here this winter. Beginner and Advanced tracks available.
great video Stan! Thanks for visiting & highlighting our industry.
Awesome video! I can’t wait for this years ACADEMY!!!
Thank you for sharing, Stan! Great opportunity for anyone looking to change up their business and try something new. This academy looks like an exciting way to learn!
Great video, greater opportunity. Thanks for sharing Stanley!! Time to make a change!!
This academy looks awesome! Thanks for the video Stan!
Going back to your talk of guys slacking off I mentioned that a single guy is worth $125 per hour. I would be losing money if my return was only $51 per hour even going back to 2008. I retired back in 2013. I talked to many landscapers, listening to them they never wanted to get off the machine! You can't make money on a machine, or selling, or managing people. Hire people who are smarted than you in the area you are lacking. So a foreman should be able to understand plans, knows human resources and which men to place on the jobs. I want my sales men to understand what it takes to install a job. My estimators had a work sheet and we could adjust our gross margin from 35% on larger jobs to 65% on small jobs. Once I had the right people we could achieve a running 50% gross margin. The Real secret is to hire people smarter than you in one area of your business and to keep filling areas with people that are a help to your business.
Great point and well said 👌
Great video! No better time to start than today and no better way to start than with the Academy!
Great video! Greg from Aquascape lays out all the steps for anyone to be successful with water features, you just have to follow the steps. If you do, you’ll be successful. There’s Contractors all over the world proving it works. Get out of your own way! The academy will teach you everything that you need to know to be successful.
Boom!
Awesome Stan. Thanks for the excellent refresher!
No problem, thanks for being here 👊
Great Video! What a better way to become successful than learning from someone who is successful of doing what you want to do!
Thank you. Your getting to the big 1m. Watch all your videos. Rise in tides lifts all. More please buddy, one day hope i get to shake your hand, until then keep being you.
Wow thanks Cliff you’re the man. One day I hope to shake your hand as well
Awesome job, sharing this with my Brother, hoping for a new start. Keep up the good content.
Best of luck!
Enjoyed the video alot of info on the business side of a company and not just the grunt work of building a successful business on being street smart as well book smart.
Glad you found it helpful👊👍
It's GREAT to get an independent third party endorsement for our programs! We've helped thousands of contractors find a profitable and fulfilling career over my two decades with Aquascape... I'm proud of the work we do. Check out this video from Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek.
I went to the Starting and Seceding coarse at Aqua Scapes in 2021. Loved it and recommend that if you can go there! Greg is so intense but you learn so much.
Yes- Its sounds like you know Greg. He is an intense dude but Awesome!
Intense? You should see me watching a Buckeye Game! 🤣
Love this! So many people are looking for opportunities to start their own business and be successful.
aquascape makes their way into just about every channel i watch.
Greg is a go getter and the real deal. he isn't a phoney
“I ❤️ MY JOB!”
Stan just keep doing what you do. Everything you do is like life. You don't have to please everyone. Just please your self. If you do it right everyone will be happy. No matter what you can't please everyone. Be yourself. Have a good night. God bless you be safe.
Words of wisdom! Thanks Dan much appreciated
Excellent information and insight on making this profitable and providing quality for your clients! Get started with water features today!
Great stuff!
Great vid Stan! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I took the family over there a couple of months ago! And it was amazing going to sign up for the Academy soon!!
That’s awesome! Glad you had a good time
what's the $$$$$$$$ to sign up?????????????????
This sounds like those get rich quick infomercials where they sell you a course on how to get rich quick (by making get rich quick infomercials) but with the added step of making aquascapes...
Its not- its the real thing
Get rich quick…no
Get rich over the long haul…HELL YES!!!
Good beautiful evening Stan! Pond work is something id love to learn more about! Off the cuff question, Do you dethatch properties yearly or every few years? Thanks for posting! See you friday!
Since detaching is an extra expense I do it on request. But I highly encourage my properties to at least consider it every year
This is video is probably the most informal vid I’ve seen all 2022✂️💯
Hope it helped ya in some way
Thanks for the video. Just gives you something to think about
It does!
Ok, just where were these resources 20 years ago, when I still had some joints left?!? Lol. Just doing the research for products could take weeks, if not months. And then it could be hit or miss if ya made enough to show a profit margin? Folks, y'all are damn lucky that Stan is showing ya where to add "niche" to your business AND a better way to address your business, no matter what ya do... Thanx ! Even tho I'm too far past prime, lol!!
With Age comes wisdom and it sounds like you get it. If I could go back in time with my current knowledge things would be very different.
@@Dirtmonkey lol, yea, wouldn't that be nice... Perhaps just slowing it down, harhar! Thanx, you certainly are continuing the "University"...
So we didn't scare you off after the front pond dive when it was freezing out?? Thanks for sharing your words of wisdom!
Awesome video. I’ll be looking to add this
Great vid 👌 really if you think about it pretty much a factory outdoors not a ton of variables except the weather
Very true!
@@Dirtmonkey love ❤️ u bro please keep me in your prayers 🙏 I'm fighting Leukemia
🙏
Excellent! Thanks
Wish my husband and I were younger. Love what you do! Your cabin an property are gorgeous by the way.
Thank you so much!
Great Info!
Nice one Stan. 👍👍🏴🏴
Thank you for your videos!!!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video Stan
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
So where does the design for the pond come from? Does Aquascape supply that?
Awesome video Stan! The Aquascape Academy is a great introduction into the water feature industry!
I'm not likely to start a pond business myself, but this is still interesting and inspiring! Years ago this could have been my choice. As you say, "frickin incredible" video. I want to know how they keep the raccoons from fishing there.
Make the ponds 2 feet deep 8 feet wide and you’re good
👍 good job.. waiting for a water scape from your boys 🥃🐒
We did one earlier and we are just starting to really get into them now
You're absolutely right if you don't like what you do you'll be miserable working. My love is Aviation and I've been in the Airline industry for 22 years mostly as a Marshaller but I'll jump in and throw bag's if I have to.
Good for you man! Go get em 👊
@@Dirtmonkey Watching you and Ryan from Outdoor Victory makes me really appreciate what you guy's do. I do a little dry wall, 6 foot Vinal fencing and landscaping on the side to keep my carpentry skills up.
Love the videos
Thanks for being here buddy
As a guy who's been working with glass for decades I completely agree with finding a niche market to maximize profits.
Yuuuup 🙌
100🎉
I’m not a pond guy, but your videos are great. A lot of helpful information
We’d love to help you become one!
Ready to sign-up?!! 🙋♀️
Looks great. I'm looking into booking a January slot.
Very cool- PLEASE give me feedback after you attend. Id love to hear what you think
Let’s go!!!
Great video.
Thanks!
Hey hey Stan,, how are things going, today was a pretty nice day, tomorrow is going to rain, but Friday and Saturday are looking good, i have one Lawn Friday night then 3 lawns Saturday and then after I finish the lawns Saturday i am going to go to the car show that the towns having, can’t wait to do it. Maybe even get some food from a food truck, anyways Stan, god bless and go get em, your pal and friend Alexander costa
I love car shows Alexander. Sounds like you have a pretty cool week planned. Its cold and rainy here today. My lawn mowing is coming to a quick end.
Good video!
Good episode.
Thanks Chris!
So Stan, will you be adding thisto your Portfolio?
Or you are already installing Ponds?
thanks for the video
Been there done that 😂
@@Dirtmonkey you did not like it even with the money dangling in front of you?
If so, I totally respect that, if for any other reasons, I also respect it🤣🤣
I use to build ponds in the back yard when I was a kid now I got all this equipment now I could do twice the damage to under ground lines then I use to as a kid lol👍
Big boys get bigger toys
Thank you 😊
Of course! Thanks for tuning in
I try to share your work videos when and where I can.
Thank you sir
Great video !
Excellent seminar!
Does this mean Dirt Monkey will installing ponds ?
Thanks for taking us along
We’ll see! I have before and am not opposed to it
@@Dirtmonkey Yeah, I saw your answer to other messages after I posted mine. It would be cool to see your crew do one.
Enjoy your content, keep it up and be safe
Nice!
Stan I have a question. How does someone with no experience in the lawn care area. How would I go about starting my own business? I currently work loading and unloading airplanes for UPS. But as a supervisor I'm not allowed to work. I'm 24 turning 25 I enjoy working alongside my crew but unfortunately I'm not supposed too.
Start mowing lawns,build up a clientele and expand from there.
Talk to as many entrprenuers as you can. Start learning from those around you. Take everything you hear with a grain of salt. Some of it will be true and some will not. Seek higher education or training in the fields you are interested. For instance what Greg does is probably the BEST business training I have ever seen first hand. I would honestly start with his training even if you have no interest in ponds.
@@Dirtmonkey awesome I greatly appreciate it!
Dude, don't worry about making videos just for views. I watch damn near every video you put out. Just because you got toys that cost a much as a brand new truck and more. Plus helps me out with how to do work like what you do.
Thanks for the support man! It means the world
@@Dirtmonkey I've learned so much from your videos. Especially snow plowing, I enjoy doing that.
@@danielmoore6507 hearing this keeps me going!
Only request I have.. no more unboxing..
I'd rather see.. I've had this product in my hands for 90 days.. here are the high points.. here are the low points.. could I bet my ability to make money using this. Unboxing and assembly videos.. is like watching Jerry Lewis and Gomer Pyle test removing a prom dress on a test dummy after two bottles of laced sarsaparilla.. funny.. like a car crash
Your in my back yard, we maintain properties by their headquarters. Drive by that building at least 3 times a month. You make a Portillo’s stop for lunch?
What that’s crazy! Small world
@@Dirtmonkey world gets smaller everyday.
Do you know if those numbers also include whatever payout they need to do to aquascapes? Or is that roughly 60% margin after everything is completely paid for (sans Uncle Sam)?
Great question that I can't answer but maybe the aquascape team could chime in
@@Dirtmonkey Thanks Stan, love your channel and content.
here to help
Thanks bud 👍
If you do what you love it's not work. I use to live by the Cities now by Brainerd do lots of landscaping around Gull Lake don't worry about views
“If you do what you love it’s not work” or it’s the best work ever 😁👍
I'd love to get into ponds but I'm to busy making less money lol
LOL. that is so true sometimes. I think thats called "stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime"
Here to help 💪
@@GregWittstockThePondGuy I'm a fairly small operation and don't normally have the time
Curious on what you (can) actually make from CZcams by posting videos?
Ive learned that what you put into something will be an indicator of what you can get out. CZcams is no different
@@Dirtmonkey Thanks for all the great content - I somewhat recently stumbles across your channel and have been "working" overtime to get caught up to date on your videos!
Maybe I missed it but nobody mentioned the initial investment
This isn't a franchise. To install a pond you need a filter, liner and a pond kit. Thats what he built and thats what he sells in his company. He created a 20 step system to make installing a pond simple and straight forward. His pond kit is part of that 20 step procedure and it works. So he doesn't charge for the knowledge he charges for the pond kit you need to do the work anyway..
The course is 399. To start you’ll need a wheelbarrow, shovel and a strong back
Would like to see what kind of numbers they file for their personal taxes not what the company grossed.
Absolutely! Probably 1k below the minimum tax bracket like most contractors tax statements. Work at a bank in the lending department and you find out real quick who cheats on taxes.
Come to the Academy and judge for yourself
People love themselves a yardscape, jesus
Found this episode hard to watch. Maybe it's my ADD, but I have no idea what this is about.
Its more business focused so that may not be as interesting as some of my other vids but I hope it is helpful.

Response 👊
Mow for $40\hr.? Huh? lol I'll sub it all out to them for that lol Im just joking around.
Those numbers are eye opening IMO
Well Done!!!
Thank you sir
No kidding it's not feasible making a decent living with a small landscaping company... The margins are getting tighter and tighter!
Yup…pretty messed up
I know about 20 seniors with small gates and large backyards that cant find anyone to mow in my region. A single guy with a small pickup and very basic gear could "clean house". All the mow n blow guys cant do them and no kids these days are doing it like when we were kids and took care of the elderly.
I'm first?
Indeed you are!!!
I found you because of genadek. I have worked many jobs. had 7 different W2's my first year out of high school. if I didn't like what I did, I tried something else.
Great motto 🙌
