[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

[@ryanfoley9999]

Amen Ethan keep it going bud congrats , I so wish I was at that stage...

[@curbappeallawncarellc4263]

[@alexhitsdrums]

so inspiring, I started playing drums at 14 and hustled to now record albums and play with working bands and artists its always great to start young to learn work ethic and responsibility!!! great job!!

[@jaredkruse8679]

I enjoyed watching Ethan’s passion an the industry! I think the no girlfriend no weed and now alcohol has Definitely propelled him to be so much farther ahead than other kids his age. He’s going to be a great husband & Dad one day!

[@glendajune9140]

Ethan is another impressive young man on this tour. He stays focused,& is always grinding. He’s definitely a young man with a plan. There’s a wonderful future ahead in the green industry. Keep up the great work Ethan!!💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

[@ARCSSelfDefense]

Glad to see a younger man that isn't afraid of hard work and disciplined enough to reinvest for his business growth.

[@daltonjohnson3289]

I’m 17 down here in Alabama servicing about 75 yard got a diesel 3/4 ton enclosed trailer and 3 exmarks also run all echo handhelds and blowers

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

[@kblessing93]

Keep up the good work buddy

[@tylercuts5331]

Hey Dalton, what part of alabama?

[@CustomPowerwash]

I raced motocross from age 10-19. Essentially my entire adolescence. Pumped to see the kids work ethic and love for dirt bikes. Hondas are the best!

[@esloyaltylawncare8738]

I am so impressed with Ethan he is where I want to be in a few years. he is absolutely killing it.

[@SMITTY19722]

So impressive. I can only imagine how proud your parents must be…keep up the great work

[@jawkman101]

May not be Mommy&Daddy money but having or not having Mommy&Daddy guidance is even more valuable

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

That works, yup!

[@tomstradinger5958]

Up standing youth thanks Brian encourage up coming good.

[@liparilandscaping7517]

Sick vid and set up I’m 16 down in jersey I have 40 accounts and run a toro grandstand and a Walker mower with a 6x12 enclosed trailer along with all Redmax and some stihl handle held equipment and there all full service customers all get mulched all get trimmers bushes 2 times a year thing that stinks about jersey you don’t get your license till 17 so I gotta wait another year but big shout out to mom and dad for driving me around all these years next purchase is a truck but I gotta try to find one lol

[@keithienmason4643]

The first thing I've bought my self this year is a Stihl fs56 RC string trimmer and I'm trying to get my self a riding lawnmower I don't know if I'm going to get one yet though

[@Jasha333]

I think you are right on the money man.

[@temogomez5362]

He is a good kid 👍🏼

[@jmaraboli1394]

Keep husteling! Keep re-investing to get bigger, better equipment to get bigger better jobs! 💪🏻👍🏻😎

[@bobjones6154]

Dude why didn't you get the motocross version?! The '22 cr250f is the best looking bike around atm. Very fast though, for a 250.

[@austindouglas13]

Ethan is crushing it!

[@chevymudding01]

Good looking garage smart move on echo

[@richscott2952]

Get the gas out of the garage and its own shed preferably in the shed a must great Video

[@johnandrews5965]

keep doing what your doing

[@speedyReedyEnterprise]

Bikelife and landscape life 😎 #brap

[@Truckinwitwest]

My biggest question is where do you find commercial accounts

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Google my business listing, Yardsigns, postcards, referrals, walkins, networking, chamber of commerce events. All the above.

[@keithienmason4643]

Round trimmer line slows me down

[@trustedlawnlandscape7142]

Dirt bikes are the way to go!!!!

[@ryanw6851]

What does he mean "work" isn't the landscaping business work?

[@jmaraboli1394]

Schools important at a young age. Get highschool done, get your Diploma & after that- if that’s what you wanna do. Go ham.

[@kennyplay5982]

$2500.00 for landscaping??

[@keithienmason4643]

I don't have a girlfriend either man all I do is work that's all I do

[@byronn.2885]

I love the mindset of this young man. I wish more young people could latch onto to the concept that hard work and attention to details goes a long way to being successful. Keep it up!

[@eugenecrabs3954]

Im a "gen z", you know, the ones you expect to say theres 34 stars on the flag? Yeah, im actually a technician heading for an aviation career.

[@alanadams9618]

The best part of the entire video was…it’s called school and not education. At 17 you are a star and by 27 you’ll be in the universe. Keep up the great work!!!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

So true!

[@keithmercek3330]

Ethan, you should check on school online. My daughter did her senior that way. It provides an education with the flexibility a busy schedule needs. You do the classes from anywhere with a computer.

[@WildBillyGardening]

Just getting into landscaping now at 31. Last few years have been trying farming, but now going to try the landscaping to hopefully eventually fund the farming, similarly to what he says started his landscaping. Very impressive at his age. For me, better late than never I guess!

[@Steven-jn2cw]

It's never too late my man.

[@mack_landscaping412]

I wanna be like Ethan when I grow up 🤯🤯🤯 …This young man got it goin on 💪🏽…Dope video as usual and much SUCCESS TO ETHAN in his future 💯💯💯

[@nickscarborough6697]

Love to see this. I’m 25 now and have been cutting yards since about 10 years old or so. I have a full time job (bread distributor) which has me working about 40ish hours a week and somehow find time so service about 35 clients on a bi-weekly schedule and steadily growing each day. I also have a brand new dump trailer and do dirt,sand,rock delivery and debris haul away! I only have one employee so it’s hard at times but the reward at the end of each week is what makes it worth it! Would love to talk with you sometime and give you a “tour” of everything I do.

[@paulreints2279]

Wow. Impressive young man, to say the least. I'm over forty & just starting to make a profit in my lawn care business after three years, part-time. He's definitely encouraging me to hit it hard this year & go full-time.

[@LeanMeanBoost]

Brian Thank you for sharing this young man story, so inspirational I'm looking to start my own Lawn care company. I'm currently a Fuel truck driver. This story just motivates me. Thanks again keep up the good content.

[@mikeholley6219]

love this kid!!!!!!!!! reminds me of myself I just didn't have his balls at his age took me until I was 23 to do it for myself!!!! great job kid!!!!!!

[@PeterGregg]

These kids are real blessings and inspirations when people will take the time to look in on their lives. It's almost like you can feel God using their lives to speak into other live of other young men looking for direction and revelations on what is possible in their lives. This young man is exquisitely well spoken and a real thinker. I love when you do videos like this, big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@prostreetcamaro]

Prices are crazy different depending on location. Show up here to a 1/2 acre lawn and quote 45 to 50 and get laughed off the lawn. Before anybody call's BS just know you are telling that to somebody that's been doing this every day for 42 years and STILL has the first customer they picked up 42 years ago. Location MD

[@Ocboy420]

Awesome video man so cool that your so young & successful huge props to you for doing what your doing!

[@gregsmith3752]

Ethan, 1) At your age, yes, 100% start a business. Reinvest, grow and learn. Ask what just happened? What does that mean? Adjust and have at it again. You will never ever get this from school. Unless, the teacher or professor is an adjunct (true players coach). 2) Go to school for the obvious things people say. Doctors, lawyers, engineering, etc. I have tried to explain to our kids that we are funding school, so they have the opportunity to climb as high up the corporate ladder as possible, in order to reserve the right to dump down hill. Sounds harsh, doesn't mean you have to behave that way, but that is how that cookie crumbles more than not. Business is business, so I have been told multiple times??? One family I know of that goes straight to work out highschool is the Tippmann family from the Fort Wayne, IN area, where I grew up. Good luck figuring out which one of the original 16 made their 1st million. Cooling & Storage, warehousing, paint ball guns, racking, single family homes, commercial concrete and so on. I have a college degree from IU - Bloomington. It will get you an interview to work for people that already know what you know, then they squeeze you for time. While at IU I worked for the physical plant for 4 years on the master arborists crew completing general campus lawn maintenance and it was the happiest time of my life (effortless to work). I am now 51. The tears for me in year 1 came dehydrated at 9pm, as I finished jobs and I realized I should have done this decades sooner. My father was right... Go into business with yourself, by yourself and for yourself. Be disciplined to your skill/craft, build your mouse trap for cash flow , then buy property and pay it off. Now you set the terms with the bank and everyone else. Small or large scale... Freedom is freedom and I truly wish this for everyone... Sounds like you got that figured out! Good for you! I have specific questions about wet grass and equipment I would like to ask you. I am burnt out testing. Northern Michigan deals with the same thick wetness we do in the PNW. Reach out if you have time, then send me an invoice for your time. That is the biggest compliment I can pay you! Chorus Lawn Services - Olympia, WA

[@prokedd5513]

Great Job young man!!! it’s always great to see our young generation doing something positive and making an honest living! I salute you buddy! Stay focused and encouraged 🫡🫡🫡

[@985live]

I just brought a bad boy avenger 54 inch cut. I’m thinking about getting some yards I currently drive trucks professionally.

[@nickschuster7618]

So does offering a community discount make sense? Like first person pays $50 but after they refer 5 people it goes down to $45 make sense? Idk maybe change the rate but i feel like this would be a way to capture a large audience while lowering your indirect cost with less driving.

[@wyattbaird6480]

All love but the 4mix is trash. Could have used a roller pin bearing on the piston rod instead of a brass bushing. That’s why they start the knocking. The piston just flaps around.

[@jbalog1911]

How does he do his billing?

[@d.blaze901]

It's in him not on him , this is what he wants to do and that's the difference in life, findout what you want to do and move towards it!!

[@kccustom1]

This is the son every man wants.

[@Theultrazombiekiller]

What a great interview! Impressive. I have a 9-5, but I do mow 5 lawns a week in my neighborhood with my 16 year old Toro GTS for extra income. Charge $40 each, so an extra $200 a week. My goal would be what this dude is doing! I would love to build this from a side gig into my sole job. I make $90k a year so if I can get 44 accounts a week I will be there haha.

[@TheOwlsNest410]

You clear the 90k? Update. This my 3rd year. I’m getting serious now.

[@Theultrazombiekiller]

@@TheOwlsNest410 Oh yeah, my wife and I quit our 9-5s and run this together. Now at 36 residentials, and 3 commercial customers (a shopping center, an HOA for their common areas and a small park in their neighborhood, and a 6 acres satellite field for the government.)

[@STABILBrand]

Great job Ethan! Keep up the hard work! 👍

[@rnarrington1]

Just started watching your channel! I live in Fowelrville, it pretty cool to find out youre semi local to me.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Very cool!

[@keithienmason4643]

Hey Brian what kind of trimmer line do you use for your trimmers I use Gator trimmer line and weed warrior but weed warrior trimmer cuts ok but Gator trimmer line and Oregon trimmer line is good to for thicker tall grass it's awesome to use but I don't use round trimmer lines at all because I have to go back over my yards

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

The Ballard Phantom Twist!

[@curbappeallawncarellc4263]

awsome young man there.. and damn rocking a long trailer. Tell him to rubberize it and will hold up and paint not chip so much. Ethan you are rocking it man. and damn so young and going far man..

[@ryanfoley9999]

Great job Ethan congrats keep it going bud good luck...

[@kylecouture1917]

I'm assuming this is all financed. I don't see how a 17 year old buys all of this. lol

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Two of the mowers are the rest he’s paid cash for along the way

[@AJSizzleTheRealest]

Agreed, I been in this field all my life. I do this kind of work up here in Grand Rapids, Michigan! Yall keep cutting!!

[@zachchapman3042]

I’m 21 down in Sturgis MI and am thinking about starting my own thing on the side and possibly even evolve to full time. These videos are awesome and help with the motivation and excitement

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Niceee!

[@yordy59]

Tips, 1)it’s how about how many account you have it’s how much you are making, per account and the level of difficulty, 2) it’s not about how many mower or brand , or truck you have, it’s about how effectively and how much money you make, you can have 50 accounts and and one mower in the back of you truck , and make more money than someone with a 100 account and big trailer with couple mower

[@ericflynn7593]

Don’t sleep on the small back packs in the summer when there’s no morning dew! We run heavy echo 770T’s when we have to but if it’s dry we use echo pb265’s. Your body will thank you when you make that switch! Same with trimmers. 2620’s in the spring but we use echo 225’s the rest of the year.

[@Cmoore13]

Why the difference in deck sizes?

[@kennyplay5982]

That's crazy when they talk a couple grand for landscaping. I can't believe they charge that much and more importantly how can the residential people pay that much or want to pay that much?

[@philipterrill2440]

My 2018 CRF250R got stolen and Ive been mowing to replace it and I did a lot of mowing to get it and im 19 and it got stolen last year

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

It's good he's focused, but get a little girlfriend along the way. Just stay out of trouble 😳😂

[@DblAGamesAndOutdoors]

Definitely feel that I’m trynna make money landscaping for a mini excavator and a skid to start doing some construction work

[@yardvarkslawncare7866]

We just bought the windstorm and the billy goat 37 hp debris loader. BEAST! Hes got a great set up

[@allenlane5000]

Well done to both of you. I can see that I will not be paying to forgive Ethan's 150K of college student loans that he will not use.

[@Ocboy420]

Echo trimmers and blowers are the way to go !! And I have that same handle on my echo trimmer and will never go without now lol.

[@greenempirelawncare3446]

I have the same issue with Stihl trimmers when they get hot. Thinking about getting a backup Stihl electric trimmer for the end of the day houses. Inside an enclosed trailer in 97degrees outside makes them a pain to start!

[@flearoy6366]

Can you do a video on how to hire people? I have 40 customers and need a guy to help now.

[@brandontheafilliate2052]

Aye Brian! What a amazing video of you and the young entrepreneur! Myself is new to this lawn mowing industry and would love to start soon! May you please share us the young one effective postcard ?

[@valleytopfarm3108]

How do you do 80 yards and still do school? I’ve tried I can’t do it!

[@Jarce]

Ethan’s holding that Arizona like a nice cold beer 😂

[@JordanWeaver-g8b]

I'm wondering if anyone is going through what I'm going through. I've been in business about 4 years. 150 accounts. 2 employees. I do tree service, mowing, landscaping, pretty much everything and make a half million a year revenue. I have so much trouble finding good employees that will stick around in Florida. It's at the point I almost want to sell my business. Anybody else ever feel overwhelmed with employees?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Pretty much everyone in the trades man. Referrals are everything and also paying top dollar to attract the best talent.

[@jonathanmoor7035]

Good video but I do not like those leaf blowers that he is using

[@kendradeyarmond43]

This is my brother

[@lesliecarllightfoot]

We demoed the wright stander and the exmark vertex x. We bought 7 exmarks vertex 60” & 72” in the last 2 weeks and have several 60” on back order. These things are sweet. We have been using hustler super zhd and trimstars for 12+years. The increase in production is phenomenal. The thing I noticed when we demoed our the stander was how smooth it was on our operator. We had another operator on a rider on the same community and he was getting beat. We spent .13% of our last years revenue on tires not including downtime and mechanics labor. One and done, no more downtime with the traxis. It’s also amazing how the machines float and hill climb like a billy goat on the traxis.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Man that's awesome.

[@RUSS3LLR1OT]

There you go 🤣

[@chancehowell5890]

Brain why do more people not mow at night

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Because it's not safe? I dunno.

[@chancehowell5890]

It's cooler though

[@GeekMom50]

Depends on restrictions of the location being mowed. My small town limits mowing to M-F 8am to 6pm. Weekends are 9am to 6pm. Depends upon distance tween properties. While I'm an early riser, I try to be considerate of my neighbors who have 3rd shift hours. I have never liked the smell of gas and have all battery powered equipment. I'm a 68 yr old,5ft tall Grandma to a 3 yr old 24/7 live in granddaughter. I just happen to love smelling fresh cut grass!

[@PhillyDee215]

GREAT VIDEO👌BUT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD I NEED A BUSINESS LICENSE OR AN LLC?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

LLC.

[@TheHighwayCowboy45]

I love these videos and this guys garage looks like a lawn equipment store love to see it

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Wonder how much revenue he brings in a year with the current setup? 85 x $50 = $4250 per week ($200k /yr)?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

These teenagers are bringing in a haul, that's for sure.

[@topnotchlion1524]

More than that with $2500 landscape jobs and other upsells
