16 Years Old And 50+ Accounts - Lawn Care Success Story - Nathan w/ Four Seasons Lawn Landscape

Got to meet up with a buddy of mine over in Novi MI today, his name is Nathan with Four Season Lawn Landscape. Him and I got to know each other over the last year, both being part of the ECHO UAG program.
Since then, we've been able to keep in touch back and forth through social media, and I have to say, this kid blows me away with his success. He's only 16 years old, but has managed to take on over 50 clients (while still being in High School full time), and now start a whole landscape division of his enterprise.
Check out his brand new F-250 that he bought 100% on his own. It's awesome seeing you young guys out there hustling to make it happen, carving out a name for yourself, and eliminating excuses and distractions at his age. There's a ton of nay-sayers, obstacles, and a lot of stuff to learn, but it's cool seeing younger folks getting in to the industry and making a ton of money along the way.
Congrats to Nathan and shoutout to his dad Kevin who has raised a fine young man. Leave Nathan a comment down below, let him know ya'll are excited for him and to keep on keeping on! Hopefully his success inspires some of you young guys out there to get yours!

[@hardknoxlawncare9721]

Good to see these type of stories every now and then. It definitely helps restore a little faith in the youth of our country!

[@dbarker8187]

Nathan I’m just like you I’m 16 doing the same thing right now mowing and landscaping the truck looks great man congrats keep doing your thing man

[@BrownBrothersLawnCare]

Yep! No age barrier! He’s killing it for sure! I wish I was 16 again and get 2 years left before I go to college! This year has to be big for me! Awesome video!!!

[@BigRandyR]

Wish my teenage son's had this much drive. Mine are still playing with toys and talking like toddlers. Great job! 👍

[@Stegs]

Kid is going to go places. You can tell by just the way he talks. He is well spoken, got it stuff together for sure. I wish him the best of luck.

[@theehgroup7006]

Amazing. He works hard, keep it up! I know his schedule. I’m a teacher with 70 accounts. I mow after school 3 nights a week 3-9pm and all day Saturday. I have 2 mowers and another teacher that helps me plus all the other landscaping. It’s a challenge in the spring on the family with 6 kids.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

That's too funny, totally ironic. I can imagine how funny that would be if he was one of your students.

[@sethkessler4614]

I’m 16 and have my own business here in WV. I always get encouraged when I see guys my age doing what I am! Good luck man!

[@dbarker8187]

Kessler’s Lawn Care that’s great man I’m just like you I’m 16 have a Dixie chopper black hawk that’s good bud keep the hard work up man

[@sethkessler4614]

[@SUBI_PaT]

Keep kicking ass man! If you were my kid I would be proud of you to buddy! Hard work pays off that’s for sure!

[@GardenGateLawn]

Man I started around his age but he is killing it. Keep up the good work.

[@Fencearmor]

Wow amazing to see what the young kids are accomplishing. Really great to see you sharing their stories. Great video!

[@richardspropertymaintenanc5807]

Very cool. Love seeing these young whipper snappers start young that's how I did it 17yrs later still doing it and loving it.

[@jamesscully8147]

I’m 13 and have like 20 or so lawns and have been doing some landscaping now I’m thinking to do more landscaping great video thanks for the inspiration

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

Mad respect! Keep it up Nathan 👊🏼 And another great video Brian!

[@Jthornton64]

It’s good to see the young guys seeing success at a young age! Great video

[@lavalleeturfcare7523]

Crazy. Makes me wish I hadn't procrastinated working for other fert companies for so long. Congrats on the new truck!

[@JsCrazyCutzLLC]

So awesome to see that there is hope for society, after seeing kids like this ,so proud! I didn't pay attention to my priorities until I was in my 30's. You should interview this guy every 6 months and give us updates.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Ha we shall see. He will be in future videos I'm sure. I feel ya.

[@brendanleonard1375]

Wow! I am 17 and just sitting here on my computer. I really want to do this next year! But he has grit! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@rickyrodriguez2238]

Great job be proud of yourself ! The world is yours . 👍🏽

[@SuperDave21]

I'm very impressed by this young man. He's a real go getter! Not too many like him that are so motivated at this age. Wish him the best of luck!

[@Dale.Nienow]

I started when I was 8 too I pushed that year. And then the next year I bought a toro zero turn and I am still using that zero turn!

[@thompsonlawnmaintenance91]

Love it! Showing this to my son now!

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Great video interview! Congratulations on the new truck, Nathan!

[@ethan3w157]

Proud of you man. I am a 16 year old lawn care business owner too. Got 70 accounts this year. No landscaping right now. I am going to try and get into it

[@stevenbemos7141]

Awesome truck, good kid, good ethics, and good morals!

[@jaclynlee1850]

Congrats man! That is AWESOME. We hope to see you at the GIE this year if you go to it.

[@aaroncover2762]

Congrats on the new truck Nathan. I am 15 and just bought a 72" Exmark Lazer Z XP Diesel. I have 10 accounts but am looking toward the field and vacant lot side of mowing.

[@BlakeHallal]

It is great seeing kids of that age on the right path and getting started young and staying out of trouble.

[@eagle1333]

Good Morning Brian! Thanks for introducing Nathan and his accomplishments , it's so good to see young guys coming up... Congratulations to Nathan on all his hard work, aim high! 1 word of advice for Nathan, put some of your money in off shore accounts cause when the girls come with the googleee eyes they won't be able to find it....lol j/k Best for the future, Sonny

[@brendonbowen2081]

That's pretty much the truck I'm saving up for right now and I can't wait :)

[@hambdenoutdoors]

Wow, very inspiring young man!! I'm 53 and he is motivating me! Very cool!

[@jcslawntips]

Thank you for making this video. I am 17, as you know, and I can relate to him a lot. I might not have as big of an operation. But I have the same mindset.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

That's awesome pal, get it!

[@ECHOMeansBusiness]

Great interview, Brian, and way to go on your client roster, Nathan!

[@deacon9096]

Nice job! It's apleasure to see a youngster doing well!

[@chevyguy98]

I'm 19 been plowing since I had my permit and now have my own silverado with plow bought and paid for. 2 jobs and 15 snow plow driveway accounts. Always wanted to plow since I was 5 years old seeing all the older guys doing it

[@Mohammad-ed6us]

Lots of respect for this guy.

[@ACMEMowing]

Very motivational! Good for him!

[@precisionpropertymaintenan5541]

Good job buddy! Its nice to see a young fella who's working hard at life and not a watsoid. Good for you kid

[@cameroon8180]

So cool - very impressive to do during high school.

[@JWNLawnCare]

That's awesome man I'm 16 too don't have that much work but slowly building up with a full trailer setup hoping to have 75 clients by the end of the year ;D

[@kurtneyhart1307]

Way to hustle. Love it.

[@fredrickwilliams7284]

Inspiring testimony of a rising star, proud of you

[@547Rick]

That kid is kicking ass!

[@justmowed]

He’s amazing.

[@firestones4seasonlawncare509]

Awesome to see this. Great video.

[@Mowandlandscaping1984]

I met him at the GIE he’s a bright young man

[@tonyslawncare]

Good stuff buddy i talked to this guy the last 2 years at gie super cool

[@Richn985]

Great job Nathan!

[@JCTheLawnCareGuy]

I got a chance to meet and talk to Nate along with Keith Kalfas together. Talk about the knowledge going back and forth between the two of them. I was basically left listening the whole entire time completely flabbergasted at the trade of intelligence between them. No place at all for me to have ANY input in that conversation lol. Awesome young man, the kid is crushing it!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Ha that’s awesome!

[@ericmartin7703]

Great job bro!

[@braydenbelt456]

I'm 16 as well and just starting out my sophomore year! I'm wanting to grow and currently I'm working with my Daily Driven 1995 F150 Eddie Bauer Supercab and a 7x12 utility trailer. I have a Toro Timecutter Zero-Turn, and a Husqvarna AWD Walk Behind. I've got loads of landscaping equipment that goes with that and a couple employees I can hire on the spot. I'm having a hard time finding new clients and I'd like at the very least 30 clients/week I've been kicking butt getting started but now that I'm out of school I'm starting to struggle to find work, which is crazy since just a month ago I was overloaded. Learned my mistake in turning work down! ); Never do that!

[@joshuasibley5217]

Wow ! Incredible!!

[@dennyflores370]

Very Motivational! 💯

[@anthonyandrews4306]

Really excited for you and your business.

[@grahamcouture6786]

I wish I could’ve afforded a truck like that at 16!

[@trevorkupferschmidt6682]

That a awesome truck keep up the good work

[@swimbait1]

He’s doing great!!! My first few years we had about 40 accounts. Then I moved across the state and had 80 accounts by the end of the first year. Competition makes a huge difference. If you are in a place where there’s tons of competition it doesn’t matter how good of a job you are doing it will be tough to get new accounts.

[@gamer-uf4tb]

Swimbait1 how did you gain most of your accounts

[@colestaples2010]

It's so hard for me to find customers in idaho, in two years I have like 20 weekly customers and 30 total. I'm actually advertising this year for the first time and I'm not getting any calls. I have 5 star reviews on my Google listing as well

[@brendonbowen2081]

That's awesome

[@charlieheinz4914]

So impressive

[@WorshipBassResources]

The reality is the amount of money you can make depends on where you’re located. If you can mow all your properties with a 60 inch mower and are mostly open and big of course you can make money. Where im located 99% of properties are too small to run a big mower. Most backyards you can’t fit anything bigger than a 30” push mower, tons of obstacles on lawns, tons of trimming, and people don’t want to pay good money to have it mowed. You gotta be super picky with which properties you take to actually make good money on each lot, and when you do that it makes it way harder to fill up your schedule. You can’t just listen to guys that say you can make good money that don’t know what it’s like to have to push mow the majority of your properties. I do on average 12-15 properties a day by myself and most of them are push mowed. You’re working long days and it’s hard work. I know it’s nice to be encouraging and optimistic but also be real. Sometimes people get their hopes up high watching vids like this and then go open their own business and fail within 2 years because they thought they were just gunna go easily mow 50 accounts a week by themselves and rake in 20grand a month. It’s just not reality.

[@markferro3382]

Hey man welcome to the school of the hard knocks! Hard work, focus, discipline and respect and appreciation for the people that help you get ahead are the key ingredients to success. Just don’t forget the main ingredient.... God!

[@scottydogbigg2991]

Great video

[@MrJconneriam]

I wasted 15 years working for someone else in tje industry. Didn't make the decision to do it on my own until I was 35. Wish I had done it so much sooner

[@calvin9257]

Killing it, start plowing snow

[@Chris-wh2gy]

When I was 12 was my first company. It was auto detailing the funny I was bringing in more income than my older brother and sister combined 😂

[@gabemalcolm4429]

[@bobskowronek6691]

Rufus is your looking at a dump insert I totally recommend Truckcraft aluminum dump insert well worth the money

[@justinknipp4609]

It's a nice truck and all but, it would be nice to hear more about how he grew his business. It sounds like he would have a lot of good info. (Thanks though. Keep up the great work!)

[@wyattslawnservice7212]

Nice! I'm hoping to be where Nathan is at by the time I'm 21 lol! Did you by any chance find out how he learned/started the landscaping side of things? I'm hoping to get into that as well. That's where all the $$$ is! 😎

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Follow him on Insta and ask. He's a cool kid.

[@DS-TRUCKS]

Stud muffin 😂 lollol But im impressed!!!

[@gabemalcolm4429]

LOL

[@fbi6540]

That’s crazy, I’m 15 and work for a family members business to make money, but I’m not even makin close to thay

[@nikp6302]

Hey man I love your videos, and I’ve seen that you’re very active on KZbin as you’ve commented back on my comments which is awesome lol, but I’m in the market for a new stick edger. I got a Husqvarna 128LDX for my birthday like 3 years ago and the weed eater works great. But it’s a multi system weed eater. I bought the edger attachment for it as well, and within a it was trash. So I’m just lookin for some advice on some good brands that will sell a reliable edger

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Just go with any brand name and you'll be fine for a while! Echo, Stihl, Redmax, etc!

[@nikp6302]

Brian's Lawn Maintenance thanks man! Was thinking about echo already just wasn’t too sure

[@SUBI_PaT]

Lol stay single as long as possible hahaha I have a wife and a daughter money is no longer mine lol hahaha but good work man

[@surecutlandscapinginc1900]

Im pround of you buddy

[@michiganhustler]

Like your videos I do wanna say that I’ve been seeing a lot of landscape videos and stuff saying they did this on there “own” I myself am 25 I purchased a 2001 Dodge Ram / plow in 2014 did some snow made some money fixed the truck up a little in 2015 I bought a brand new ex mark laser Z I had to have my grandmother help me co sign on it then shortly after that I bought a brand new open trailer 2016. In 2017 truck broke down transmission blew too rusty to fix had to sell it blah blah part out big mess lol now it’s 2018 and I’m about to get into a new GMC all I’m saying is unless you have money from your parents or your well off this business doesn’t just happen at 16 I’m not trying to bash on anything either just wanna help with some of the people that come from a less fortunate family and tell them it’s still possible to still do this. It’s taken me almost 5 years to get new equipment maybe I’m doing something wrong lol would like to hear anyone else’s thoughts on this as well again not trying to bash on anyone.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Hey it takes time, no doubt about it!

[@5ATX12]

This guy said he started when he was 8. Maybe he was smart with the decisions that led to him being able to get that awesome truck. 16 years old? It's hard to believe but with hardwork it can happen. I'm 24 and I am nowhere near this young mans level in success. No excuses. Like Brian said, figure it out!

[@DS-TRUCKS]

Wow

[@TheMan-ud2wq]

I started at 29. I have a 6 and 3 year old that will hopefully have that kind of money by your age.

[@rogerl8488]

Put weather tech in!!

[@andyslawncareandoutdooradv]

Nathan is awesome. especially for a 16 year old. I want to start lawn care this year, as extra summertime kash! Does that sound like an ok plan? 3 to 5 yards, and then next year, go full time? If you want, check out my lawn care setup video. You could see what I am rocking with this year. Its nice stuff. thx4 the advice, Brian!!!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

You can do it pal, good luck!

[@andyslawncareandoutdooradv]

Thanks!!!

[@picanolandscaping2708]
