To anyone that is looking to get into this kind of business...... you absolutely need a weed eater.... and you’re going to want to get a leaf blower and not a broom....

[@UpFlip]

Thanks for the advice!

[@christianchee2857]

That’s if you don’t have money for a blower

[@jaydenackroyed]

Bro how are you supposed to buy the stuff if you have no money. Thanks for the advice!

[@mannymc281]

@@jaydenackroyed go up to somebody, build a relationship with them, get them to buy your service... say mowing and edging. 500$ and ask the customer for a half down payment, you have 250$ to go buy a 150$ push mower and a 100$ weed eater

[@rvadventures]

Simple math $100 per hour per guy Material cost plus 20% Include equipment rate of $85 per hour for equipment and insurance

[@JusticeTiger1980]

I love the channel but you really should vet these companies a little better or verify the information before airing. I have been in the business for 18 years and this young man does not seem to be on the level and his numbers do not make sense.

[@flytarget45]

You're putting out some great videos! Awesome interviews. Your gonna strike it big soon. Keep up the great work.

[@UpFlip]

Thank you for the kind words! We're working hard at it ;)

[@YourFriend_Ben]

@@UpFlip Yeah! I echo his sentiments!

[@questionnation1]

8000 per month with 300 customers is 26 bucks per lawn. No way I’m mowing for that. But he’s a different operation

[@brandenpost7642]

Small lawns are where we make our money, develop a system that saves time and maintains quality. Quicker turn around to the next one

[@jonadams2359]

He dosent just mow

[@questionnation1]

@@jonadams2359 Then thats even smaller profit margin on the 8k per month LOL

[@tgnuma2]

Well did he say the 300 customers are monthly? I'm sure some are weekly, some are monthly, some are every couple months, some are huge lawns and some are small.

[@questionnation1]

@@tgnuma2 shoot id hate to see a lawn at monthly the cost on that would be way underpriced with his numbers

[@sergbelo]

A handful of teenagers can boast that kind of income! You've got great future ahead of you Russel, keep it up!

[@UpFlip]

Definitely!

[@mybudinesd4545]

I like the way this young man thinks most people like doing business with people they feel comfortable with he constantly highlighted treating his customers like family. But noticed never gives the interviewer detailed information he kept him at bay at all times.

[@YourFriend_Ben]

This channel's insightful questions the great guests they have is so underutilized on youtube, you're one of the few channels the bell is ON, thanks lawn care dude and interviewer.

[@UpFlip]

Thanks for the kind words and supporting the channel Ben! We appreciate you.

[@jeremysims4838]

Great content. I’m in Lawncare and landscaping myself. Just started so let’s see if his advice helps!!!!!

[@UpFlip]

Awesome.. let us know how it goes!!

[@jaymeztherapper2496]

Make sure at first you mainly stick to lawn care, because it's repetitive work, and everyone needs their lawn mowed!

[@jaymeztherapper2496]

At first, that is.

[@Tonygotcha10]

How's your business been going? I just started and have 8 yards in my neighborhood. Any advice to branching out to more customers?

[@tgnuma2]

@@Tonygotcha10 Hey Tony, just curious. With 8 yards, how often do you mow them and if you don't mind me asking, what is your profit/month with only 8 houses?

[@blocbloc5094]

It’s clear 😂 that he didn’t wann tel how he gained customers , the cleaning business guy told EXACTLY where to run your ads . Some people he interview beats around the bush , lame asf

[@bassettfamily9530]

My question is you didn’t start at 80$ an hour and when I started doing some lawn care last summer I’d have to charge people 20 to 30$ a yard which barely covered cost of diesel in my truck or mower maintenance or fuel for my mowers. So what pricing to start at?

[@UpFlip]

I think it depends on the location?

[@aidancallen4382]

@Bassett Family How big are these yards? Do you weed whack and mow good? I’d be closer to 40-50 bucks for a decent sized neighborhood yard...especially with the price it costs to fill up our trucks being diesel. For 50 bucks you should be in and out quick while being able to edge the sidewalk and or driveway and sweep or leaf blow any shit left over.

[@phillipoliver2106]

Good video, but I think you should have asked him how he acquired his technical knowledge and how would he go about it, once his business started. Some people have gained many years of experience, so when they start their business it is a cake walk compared to a true newbie.

[@ishaqkhodor1388]

He worked with a company for a few years before starting on his own, said it in part 1

[@edward20902]

So is those $80 per man hour, per crew, or his hourly rate?

[@benjamingreen9540]

Hourly rate, he’s solo

[@russelljeffcoat6833]

That’s my average labor rate, it’s usually more if there is any equipment need

[@chicoguapz2573]

he is a one man show. $300 an hour, 40 hours a week totaling 600k a year, gross as he stated, he still has to pay his tax. But its $300 an hour for 8 hours a day ,hes nine to fiven it and no he dont get sunday off and all he has is a broom, a mower and a tractor with a couple attachment's, and when he talks about not expanding to far hes talking about making a milly by yourself cuz then the uncle sammy wants his cutty

These videos help me out

[@UpFlip]

Glad to hear our business video content could help you out Christian!

[@BigHomie030]

These videos didn’t say much. I’ve watched both videos and I still don’t even know what this kid does. What I do see though is he is getting a lot of relatives and/or friends to help him get his work. People he already seemed to know or friends of his friends. Which is not as hard to do vs someone who does it that comes from nothing. It’s like someone who has parents that have a tree business or construction business and they refer you to their customers for lawn care to help your business grow. So not really as hard to do vs someone who really did start with only a broom and a mower like he says.

[@russelljeffcoat6833]

I own a multiple 6 figure landscape company. No one helped me get customers. I grinded nonstop 12-15 hours a day 7 days a week to get to where I’m at now. It’s easy to grow a business this fast if you put in the work 24/7.

[@BigHomie030]

Russell jeffcoat Multiple 6 figure landscape company? No need to up sale to me. I’m not hating on you. I mean if you have a lot of friends and relatives who can help you more power to you. I’m just pointing out the obvious. You say all the right things but leave out the most important thing and that was the how. People want to know how you did it. You say you didn’t even advertise. So how does anyone know your in business initially? The only people who would know without advertising is your friends and your family. So that’s why I said what I said. Ain’t nothing wrong with it but don’t make it seem like it was really a broom and mower situation like some people really have done

[@juanh5807]

You just disrespected this mans hard work. Reason he did it was because he was putting in sweat, all your doing is putting in excuses

[@BigHomie030]

Juan H disrespected? I gave him props for getting it done how he got it done. There is nothing wrong with how his doing it. I said more power to you. I just pointed out that the video didn’t say how he did it. Which was the whole point of the videos in the first place. I never said he wasn’t successful I just pointed out how I think he did it and why I think what I think on how he did it. No offense given if your just pointing out the obvious

[@sharpshootertv]

@@russelljeffcoat6833 so what your rates or your charging cheap and getting a ton of work to make 6 figures. I grinded a lot but I started only picking good paying customers so I don’t break my back or injure for cheap pay and hard labor Also depends if it’s landscaping or lawn care your talking about

[@benwilliams3539]

even in aussie dollars youll never find lawn care charging 80 bucks and hour here. maybe half that

[@raddad9041]

Same thing in this part of Canada that I live.

[@CodMaster601]

You're under cutting yourself bud. Minimum I charge is $60per hour. All the other lawn care companies are the same around here(Brisbane). If you're the weekend warrior guy then that's alright, but if you want to run a company you shouldn't go less than $60-70p/hour.

[@jackiecarothers1388]

Must live in a Obscure neighborhood/county no way you can charge $80 an hour. Only information I got out of this is don't oversell

[@raddad9041]

Russell seems to walk weirdly, like he has a hip injury of some sort. Not sure what good this overall video series with Legend Lawn Care is if it's about two years old and in his own words it will be a completely different company next year.
