The Lawn Mower Boys are a group of young entrepreneurs who started a lawn care business from scratch and documented their journey on Instagram. They initially ventured into e-commerce but faced challenges with cash flow. They transitioned to lawn care and started by taking on various jobs, including landscaping and construction. They learned through trial and error how to price their services and eventually found a system that worked for them. They used Nextdoor and door knocking to acquire customers and grew their Instagram following through viral content and storytelling. They have plans to expand their business and potentially move away from doing the physical work themselves. Enmanuel Tejada owns an agency called Landscape Maverick, specializing in branding and digital marketing for landscaping and hardscaping companies. He aims to be the trusted source for building websites and marketing strategies in the industry. The Lawnmowerboys, on the other hand, look up to Chase Grant and Blades of Grass for guidance in growing their lawn care business.

Enmanuel Tejada (00:00.891)
Alright cool, so the recording started and then I'm gonna do the intro and then we'll get it started.

Boom.

Enmanuel Tejada (00:13.563)
Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of the digital toolbox podcast. I am your host Emmanuel Tejada I'm the owner of Landscape Maverick. We're a digital marketing agency for landscapers and today we have very very special guests We have the lawnmower boys at least two -thirds of the lawnmower boys We got Alejandro and Bernardo man. Go ahead. Introduce yourselves guys

Lawnmowerboys (00:34.854)
Yo, yo, it's Ale, one of the owners or founders of the Lawn Mower Boys. My name is Bernardo, I'm also one of the founders of the Lawn Mower Boys. It's nice to be here with you. Manny. My boy Manny.

Enmanuel Tejada (00:51.003)
Let's go man. So what is the lawnmower boys for anybody that's been living under a rock? What what is that?

Lawnmowerboys (00:58.957)
Well, the Lawn Mower Boys, it's what you can call the new wave on Instagram right now. It's just three guys starting a lawn care business from zero, working their way up to making $100 ,000 a year. So we started like a year ago, and we're just showing people how to start from knowing nothing, to getting your first customers, slowly going to building routes, and being able to build your lawn care business.

That's basically what the Lawn Mower Boys are right now. It's just a new, you know, the new Instagram guys popping in the last few months, you know, getting some attention. And now also just social media and also, you know, in real life, growing the business. Keep going. And that's part of the Lawn Mower Boys too, but we do, you know, trying to show our progress to inspire also like young kids, you know, hey, we're all young. Y 'all can do it too, you know, that's another thing why we created Lawn Mower Boys as well. what is the Lawn Mower Boys? Yeah. So.

Enmanuel Tejada (01:58.779)
Yeah, bro and talking about young. I mean you guys look young like how old are you guys?

Lawnmowerboys (02:03.147)
I'm 22 right now. I'm 18, about to turn 19 this year. So, I mean, yeah, we're pretty young. Yeah, I mean, I graduated, I was supposed to graduate last year, but I graduated two years earlier. I did homeschooling and then I ended up doing my courses pretty fast and got to graduate. So I've been out of school for like three years now.

Enmanuel Tejada (02:09.979)
18. So that means you just graduated high school there, right?

Enmanuel Tejada (02:29.403)
Damn, so you did Freshman even then you bounced.

Lawnmowerboys (02:32.522)
Yeah, I mean, COVID hit. I was like, I was doing e -commerce at the time. I was getting that stuff going. I was like, man, if I go back to school, it's gonna help me back, you know? So I luckily found the website called Penn Foster, got subscribed to it. I just paid my courses and it's at your own pace. So I did it as fast as I could and was able to graduate and get my diploma to the man.

Enmanuel Tejada (03:02.011)
Hey, good shit, bro. Damn. And did you make some money off e -commerce? Like, that's what you were living off of?

Lawnmowerboys (03:06.729)
so also me and my, me and my dude Bernardo did it together, e -commerce. yeah. So I, you know, after high school, I started working in the dental lab. I was a dental technician, you can say. So then my sister got, she got a boyfriend who happens to be his brother. So that's how we met. And then at the time he was in high school, I was working at this dental place. You know, I was trying to pursue a career in that industry.

But then, you know, me and him started talking, hanging out more, and then we just got the vision of being entrepreneurs. And then we just asked each other, what can we do? We started looking around the internet and we found e -commerce. And then slowly, slowly, we started like getting into e -commerce to the point that I had to leave my job. And then like he said, he couldn't continue school. We were just doing this, you know, we were just growing in the e -commerce thing. Yeah, it got to the point like,

Enmanuel Tejada (03:58.107)
Whoa.

Lawnmowerboys (04:05.832)
We were, I was like, man, you're still doing this job. It's like, if you want to grow, we're going to, you're going to have to quit your job, bro. Like you're going to have to leave that dentistry if you want this to grow. And he took the risk and you know, we don't do it right now. You know, we look, we, but we had a good run in it. Yeah. So when I stopped working on my job, at the time I was making like $2 ,500 a week and I left that and that's why I'm.

I mean, I was making $2 ,500 a month. So I left my job and then we went to do full -time e -commerce and then we started making a lot of money. But one thing with e -commerce, especially the thing we were doing, Amazon FBA, we couldn't get the money we were making right away. So we had to figure out ways of growing the e -commerce and making more money and more money and more money.

Enmanuel Tejada (04:58.107)
How come though, how come you couldn't use the money that you made from it right away?

Lawnmowerboys (05:00.615)
So how this works is if you sell products after those products are sent out, Amazon is not going to pay you right away until the customer gets it and they don't want to return it, they want to keep it. So by the time you sell that product, by the time you get paid, I'll say it's about a month. And before that, so you can send the products to Amazon, it's about a month from you sending the package so it can be available for people to buy it.

So if you see from the moment I buy it to the moment I get paid, it's about two months. And yes, you make money. Yeah. And.

Enmanuel Tejada (05:27.323)
Holy shit, a month!

Enmanuel Tejada (05:32.123)
Wow. Damn, so that means that you had to have like an initial investment. Like you can't just sell something and get the money back to buy more product to sell more.

Lawnmowerboys (05:37.319)
Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (05:41.414)
Yes, and that's basically what we did. I think we got together like $8 ,000, $9 ,000 when everything started. He put half and I put half. And then we started making money off of that. But it got to a point that the store was just running and we couldn't get paid. And, you know, in one of those products we were selling, there was a little mistake. And then we started like seeing negative numbers. So that's when we decided to grab that money and just go somewhere else. And that's when we came.

Enmanuel Tejada (05:52.315)
Mm -hmm.

Enmanuel Tejada (06:06.267)
Aw man.

Lawnmowerboys (06:11.493)
I would put the idea of starting a lawn care business because it was something we knew how to do. So we just decided to give it a chance and that's how I went from starting on e -commerce, making a little bit of money. It wasn't really going that well, but we had money so we just used that money to make money somewhere else.

Enmanuel Tejada (06:30.235)
Dude, respect bro, cause that right there, like that, I guess you can call that a failure. That was a failure with e -commerce, but I'm sure you guys learned so much from that shit bro. Like, even if, like let's say that even if you guys didn't make any money at all, just starting that business and pursuing it full time and giving it all your effort, even though it ain't succeeded, yo, that builds character in you. Like that builds character.

Lawnmowerboys (06:41.088)
Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (06:53.956)
Yeah, right now, you know, we'll be back. You know, it's like throughout those, we did it for like a kind of like a full year doing a straight e -commerce. I mean, we'll be back. We already know how to do it. We just need to get the, you know, motion going more and more. And like you said, this business is based on capital. The more capital you have, the more money you can make. So, yeah.

Enmanuel Tejada (07:16.187)
Dude, I love it, bro. And it sounds like you're even gonna you guys are gonna take that that money you guys made from lawn care, maybe even invest some of it into that to grow it even more and then do something else with that money to grow that even more. Damn, bro, I fucking love it. So you guys shut down the e -commerce store. Did you guys recoup some money back from that at all? Or was most of it just taken by Amazon?

Lawnmowerboys (07:23.972)
Yeah. Right. Right. Right. Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (07:36.003)
Yes, so like I said we started with like $8 ,000, $9 ,000. Our last number that we saw that it was our money it was $27 ,000. This was before some mistakes we made. So after we stopped selling products and got everything back, all the money we could get back, I think we got close to $9 ,000, $10 ,000.

Enmanuel Tejada (07:42.811)
Mm -hmm.

Enmanuel Tejada (07:50.235)
Mm -hmm.

Enmanuel Tejada (07:59.835)
shit, so you guys pretty much left out with pretty much what you came over with.

Lawnmowerboys (08:01.603)
Yeah, so you can just say we basically learned the whole Business and we work for free made money lots of money came back and just got our money back So it was basically like an experience. Yeah, you can say so then So, yeah, then luckily we I had a trailer in my garage with the more and We wack her a nice little old little setup that I had had So then we had a truck of I mean a van

Enmanuel Tejada (08:11.675)
Man.

Dude, that's fucking, that's dope.

Enmanuel Tejada (08:27.643)
Mm -hmm.

Lawnmowerboys (08:31.138)
got that together and then from there started going to lawn care business from zero as well. And I mean, bro, we were just hungry being honest with you. It was at the beginning, it was not really like lawn care. It was just getting, I want to get a job and I want to get paid right away. So I had some experience in doing some other things like construction and little things here and there, you know? So we were getting just all types of jobs. We're doing everything. And then slowly we started seeing more results on the lawn care side. And that's how we started, you know,

Enmanuel Tejada (08:37.435)
Damn, bro.

Enmanuel Tejada (08:52.923)
Mm -hmm.

Lawnmowerboys (09:00.929)
more on the locker side. Yeah but at first we were trying to lock in any job we did like we remodeled a little patio and we were doing we were all over the place we didn't have a genre we were just trying to like stack up you know.

Enmanuel Tejada (09:12.699)
Perfect.

Enmanuel Tejada (09:16.795)
I feel you, yeah. So damn, so you guys started off doing patios and things like that before you guys were even doing lawn care, like basic mowing, basic edging. Damn, you guys kind of went to the most difficult part of it though, no?

Lawnmowerboys (09:27.393)
Yeah. So happy.

Lawnmowerboys (09:32.64)
But we went from like, so we knew a little bit on how the business work, you know, a little bit. I'm not gonna say we knew everything. So basically all we did was with the knowledge we had, we just went out there and started looking for any jobs. For example, I knew how to paint. I knew how to do a little bit of carpentry. So it was, you know, little things I was doing here and there. When he said the patio, for example, that lady, we just moved some stones around, build her little patio. And then we did her porch, I think. And it was, you know, simple things like that. And that's what we started getting.

Enmanuel Tejada (09:39.739)
Mm.

Enmanuel Tejada (10:01.883)
Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (10:02.592)
you know, it's this entrepreneurial thing. But then the thing that we saw at the beginning, the biggest obstacle I'll say, it was we will get that one job and then we wouldn't have anything for the next week. And that's when we realized that lawn maintenance was the best option because we could make money this week and come back in two weeks and make it again. And so that's how we started like not really looking for bigger jobs, but looking more for a cashflow, you know, business.

Enmanuel Tejada (10:30.363)
And you know what, a common myth or stereotype that I hear a lot is that some of the bigger guys that are doing hardscape stuff only, like they don't do much maintenance, they say that there's not money in lawn care. What do you guys think about that? Because you guys are clearly making money.

Lawnmowerboys (10:40.255)
Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (10:48.831)
Like I've seen what you're talking about. There's people out there, yeah, saying that, but I think it really depends on what position you're in in life. If you want to start something, I don't think going hardskipping is the best option. You know, you need good machinery, you need a crew, you need experience, you need a lot of experience for hardskipping more than long -term. So you could really do it, but I think if you want to start something smaller and actually make money,

lawn care is the best option. You can just get a hundred properties at $50 each. That's a thousand, that's $5 ,000 right there. And you cut them, let's say twice a month, you're making $10 ,000 just like that. Yeah. And I mean, and landscaping is good. You know, it's, that's like that where I feel like if you're doing lawn care, you should have that on the side or pivot to that, to landscaping. But if you start there, it's like you're going into a whole big, huge thing. You know, if you just start somewhere small,

learn the business side on it. I feel like everybody needs to learn and trial and error, trial and error before you go to something big and mess up at a big job because landscaping is not cheap. You know, it's like talking about $5 ,000, $1 ,000 jobs or even to a hundred K, you know? So I feel that's why if you like starting, if you want to start somewhere, start in lawn care and scale from there. And then if you want to do landscaping, you know, that's good money. And

Enmanuel Tejada (12:04.635)
Yeah. No, that's a clear point. Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (12:16.989)
you know, pivot over there, you know. So.

Enmanuel Tejada (12:20.539)
100 % bro, yeah, 100 fucking percent. And I think that there's levels to it too, right? Like, like the easiest way to start would be lawn care and then you level up to landscaping and then you level up to hardscape eventually. But like somebody that has no experience, like yeah, you can go on YouTube and learn how to put down a patio, but the quality is going to be fucking trash probably. That shit takes expertise.

Lawnmowerboys (12:24.828)
Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (12:28.925)
Mm -hmm.

Lawnmowerboys (12:38.62)
Yeah. Exactly. So, yeah, I mean, our experience, how we got our experience, Bernardo, he used to work at a company and I used to work for this white dude, old white man, and he's retired now. I used to work for him just every Saturday as a kid. And I used to just do one Saturday route. And that's how I was able to gain my experience. I did that from like 13 all the way to like 17 years old.

Enmanuel Tejada (12:45.275)
Good.

Enmanuel Tejada (12:55.483)
Hmm.

Enmanuel Tejada (13:08.251)
Is that a landscaper? Like landscaping and lawn care?

Lawnmowerboys (13:08.419)
Huh? Yeah, long hair. Like that's how it was always in the background as well, you know, like I we've been doing this for a long time as well. I don't know. Bernardo. Yes. I started doing this when I was back. That was back in high school. So before that, like I said, I used to do painting construction more on the construction side. But man, that's not really something I used to like doing. I prefer being outside in the sun.

Enmanuel Tejada (13:37.915)
Hmm.

Lawnmowerboys (13:38.171)
you know, cutting grass, something more that I like. So I decided to stop doing construction and just start doing lawn maintenance. And I used to work at a company like he said, and that's where I got a little bit of experience using machines, you know, knowing like little details here and there. And that's how I get a little bit of experience. And, you know, I stopped doing it for like two years and I was doing the dental thing. And when I came back, I just had to get back in rhythm. And he already knew a little bit, so it was basically like.

All we have to learn is how to get customers because we know how to do it. That's it.

Enmanuel Tejada (14:10.139)
Yeah, literally. And Alejandro already had the mower and he had the little wagon. Yeah, so shit, that was... yeah, even better. Yeah, it was meant to be, bro. The fucking lawn mower, boys. Let's go.

Lawnmowerboys (14:15.418)
the trailer. And I had the van so it was just, you know, the... Yeah. So yeah, and then like when it came to get to customers, that's all we needed, you know, the pricing, we kind of had it down, kind of, you know, but...

Enmanuel Tejada (14:33.115)
Let's talk about that. Yeah. Let's talk about the pricing and then let's talk about the acquisition. Right. So, so how did you guys decide to price it? Is it because you knew what your boss was charging before or how did you know what the price?

Lawnmowerboys (14:44.665)
Honestly, this was like a game. We had to figure it out. We said, okay, what's the best way to actually do this? So we did have an idea from our ex bosses charging. So let's say we found the property that at this time we would charge it like a $90. Back then we charged it like a 45. And those were the mistakes that taught us how to actually properly price. So you can say it was more like a trial and error, like he said, we're just giving out their prices.

Enmanuel Tejada (14:57.243)
Hmm.

Lawnmowerboys (15:13.785)
sometimes it will be too high or too low until eventually we just found the right, that it was the right amount. And everything depends on the area you're working in or other factors. But yeah, that's basically how. Yeah, I mean, also when we started, we kind of knew the prices, but we didn't have nothing. We were kind of hungry at the time. So like sometimes we'll give even cheaper price just so we could lock it in. You know what I mean?

Enmanuel Tejada (15:39.863)
Yeah

Lawnmowerboys (15:41.56)
Or sometimes we'll be like, man, if we tell the customer the price right now, the customer's going to be like, are you crazy? So we'll just like, you know, give them that just to lock it in that nice cheap price they want to hear at the time. But eventually when you grow, it gets killer, you know? So eventually throughout the time, we found a different type of pricing. And honestly, all we had to do was sit down and write numbers down. It was like, okay, it's two guys at a property.

Enmanuel Tejada (15:49.243)
Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (16:10.104)
how much do we want to get paid? We say, okay, let's set a number of $75 per hour, per man. So if the property was taking us 30 minutes, that was $75 divided by the two of us. And that's, yeah. Yeah.

Enmanuel Tejada (16:23.867)
so that's how you guys did it. Okay, 75 and that would be like Like 30 something like 35 36 or $7

Lawnmowerboys (16:32.247)
Yeah, like $37, yeah, so it was like $75 per man per hour. So we would just break it down to how long does this property take? All right, let's just charge like that. And doing that actually, you know, increase our closing ratio to people started saying, okay, we started getting more nos and yes instead of getting a lot of yes or a lot of nos. So just doing that, we started, you know, we balance and we just stick to that, yeah.

Enmanuel Tejada (16:57.979)
Damn bro, that's fucking awesome. That's fucking awesome right there. And then now let's talk about acquisition, right? Cause at that point, I don't think you guys knew Chase. I don't think you guys were, had any mentors or, or had anybody to seek knowledge from. So how were you guys getting clients at the time?

Lawnmowerboys (17:14.238)
So, I mean, at first, it was just me and Bernardo. We were just doing Nextdoor at the time. It's a community app, and you just post on there, you're like, hey, I'm a landscaper in the area, and it connects you with the people around you, you know? And we started getting a couple customers like that, and then eventually, little by little, we have word of mouth. But throughout, we kind of did it for, how long did we do that for? Like two months? We did it for like two months.

Two months and then we kind of see that it was kind of balancing out. You know, we weren't getting as much cost. And then luckily, his friend, Bernardo's friend, Eric came in and yeah, so he came in and he came with a whole new idea. At the time, he was trying to be an entrepreneur himself. So we got together and we just talked about it. I was like, Eric, you know how to do the same thing I'm doing, but you have a little bit more experience on sales.

Enmanuel Tejada (17:58.331)
I'm going to do it.

Lawnmowerboys (18:09.78)
like come join us and let's see what we can do. He said, okay, let's get it. The following Monday we got together and that's when we implemented door knocking and just, you know, basically selling, not really people like selling in person, going to door knocking. Yeah. And that's what we implemented that. And then from there. I mean, and door knocking, it was also a journey, you know, how did like, we like when he joined the team.

Enmanuel Tejada (18:24.411)
face to face.

Lawnmowerboys (18:39.124)
It was waking up at 8 o 'clock and straight just going to neighborhoods and just parking the truck somewhere and just going door to door, door to door until we got something. A lot of times actually we had nothing on the plate, had no jobs, nothing, and we just straight went door to door to see what we would get. And sometimes we would actually profit a good amount of money from not having nothing to do that day. So.

Enmanuel Tejada (18:48.731)
Hehehehe

Enmanuel Tejada (19:06.299)
Really? And would you guys roll up together to the door or would you guys split ways and door knock opposite sides?

Lawnmowerboys (19:11.763)
So I was the guy driving, so I was really the guy door knocking. It was more like I would drop them off and they would door knock and they would come back. Yeah. You have to take care of the machinery. And I was the guy, you know, receiving the calls because they were giving out my number. So I was in the car like, yes, I'll put you on the schedule for next Tuesday. And they were just door knocking. So and that was.

Enmanuel Tejada (19:18.715)
What the fuck you gotta get out the truck and you wanna one goes that one goes that way

Enmanuel Tejada (19:30.299)
okay.

Lawnmowerboys (19:38.034)
you know, before the Lawn Mower Boys was a thing as well, you know, so after that, me and Eric started door knocking, door knocking, and we were like, man, like, there's more to this, you know, like, we need to, like, have something to show the customer, to show value, that we bring value to the table. So eventually we got, starting to create the Lawn Mower Boys, and then that's where the name came from. And then me and Eric, we were like,

just to continue to sell, we need a slogan. And then we came with this amazing slogan. If you need a lawn that brings you joy, call lawn more boys. And we branded ourselves and got these jerseys as well. We all three got them at the same Walmart. We got them at Walmart. But we were just trying to all look uniform, you know? Just to like...

Enmanuel Tejada (20:16.411)
Hahaha!

Enmanuel Tejada (20:26.331)
Hahaha

Enmanuel Tejada (20:32.827)
Right.

Lawnmowerboys (20:34.001)
be look professional to the when we're going door -to -door knocking. So I bet. Yeah. And right now we're actually making this is just like the uniform to look the same. We actually in the process of getting, you know, the proper uniforms with. Yeah. It's coming. It's coming.

Enmanuel Tejada (20:46.78)
Let's go. Dude, let's fucking go. And this Instagram account, because you guys are like, you guys are viral right now. Like we can say that. I mean, you guys have over 20 ,000 followers on Instagram. Was this account brand new that you guys had and just raw content brought it up to 20K?

Lawnmowerboys (21:03.408)
Yeah. So at first when Eric was down here, we started getting clients and then we were like, we just created the Lawn Mower Boys Instagram brand new. And then we uploaded here and there. It was just mostly Eric on the other hand at first. And then eventually. Yeah. So Eric used to be the one posting. It was kind of like his thing, right? I was more focused on the business side and then Eric, I was like doing social media.

Enmanuel Tejada (21:19.291)
Mm -hmm.

Lawnmowerboys (21:31.504)
He did it before the one more boys. So.

Enmanuel Tejada (21:33.243)
Yeah, he was telling me. Yeah, he was telling me he had over like a thousand posts just trying to see what works.

Lawnmowerboys (21:38.032)
Yeah, so he started posting every day, every day. And then he moved from here over there to Oregon. So he stopped posting. And then he said, hey, I want to keep posting, but it has to change. I need you to help me. So that's when I came in, right? We were creating content, but it was not viral content. So Eric and me, we started just doing our research and we just started learning on how to do viral content. And then we came with our own signature. We create our own like colorways.

And then we found this AI voice that we started using. So we were like, how can we go viral? We tried so many different ways of going viral, but the one that clicked was us just telling people the stories that happened to us, the things that were going on with us. So we found the system and we just started posting and posting and the story just got better and better every day. And we just started getting followers like crazy. Like we grew to 34 ,000 followers in four months, five months.

Enmanuel Tejada (22:11.643)
Yeah.

Enmanuel Tejada (22:35.995)
Holy shit, bro. And I noticed too, I mean, I can tell that there's kind of a trend with that because now I see a lot of other people using that same style, whether it's an AI voice or not, but they tell a story in the same fashion that you guys do. Or even if they don't use an AI voice, they use their own voice. And you can kind of tell like, I see what they're trying to do.

Lawnmowerboys (22:56.11)
Yeah, so it was something that we saw it was working, you know, and it started popping. So we just kept on repeating it. But yeah, we have, we're planning on, you know, changing the style of our content a little bit. So eventually make it more relatable with people using our own voice, start using the AI voice. So you can just say the AI voice was the first phase to, you know, learn how to create content, what can go viral, you know, this and that.

Enmanuel Tejada (23:15.995)
Hahaha.

Lawnmowerboys (23:24.718)
So right now we're working on the phase two and trying to implement a new type of content.

Enmanuel Tejada (23:32.955)
Gotcha, yeah man, let's fucking go. And to go from a couple thousand to 34 ,000, bro, that's a huge deal, bro. So congratulations to you guys on getting to that point, man. And this is only the fucking beginning, bro. And let's talk a little bit too about some bigger accounts, right? I know you guys had an encounter with Tigran Gertz, a legend in the space. What was that all about?

Lawnmowerboys (23:33.005)
Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (23:41.677)
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (24:00.012)
So that's more on my boys Eric's side. He will be able to explain that a little bit better. But basically, you know, we just started going viral. We can just say that people saw our profile and they were seeing what we were saying. And eventually we started trying to teach people on what to do to get more customers. And I think, you know, that guy saw what we were doing and he decided to do his own course, you know, sending his own course by using, you can say our name.

Enmanuel Tejada (24:06.075)
Mm -hmm.

Enmanuel Tejada (24:18.491)
-huh.

Lawnmowerboys (24:29.291)
But basically saying, you know, saying LaMor boy in his videos or saying little Johnny, which you know, he refers to. Yeah. So he wasn't slick about it. We saw his ad. We knew he was talking about us, but we really didn't want to do anything. We don't really like that beefing on social media. But yeah, it was clearly that he was using, you know, the LaMor boys as an example to sell his landscaping course. Yeah. But you know, it's cool, bro.

Enmanuel Tejada (24:34.875)
Okay.

Lawnmowerboys (24:58.187)
at the end of the day, it ain't no altercation. You know, we're cooking. I hope he's cooking as well. Yeah. Like we...

Enmanuel Tejada (25:05.899)
No, absolutely, bro. At least, and it's something that like, it wasn't hate from the bottom, right? It came from the top, which is a good sign that your content got people's attention. It got in front of the right people. So that's a good sign, right?

Lawnmowerboys (25:22.779)
Yeah. Yeah.

Enmanuel Tejada (25:25.019)
And then yeah, so moving on, I mean, what's the future of the lawnmower boys looking like? Are you guys gonna remain in lawn care or are you guys looking to focus more on landscaping, artskeeping as the years come by?

Lawnmowerboys (25:37.77)
Man, there's so many different plans that we want to, you know, we just want to make it out being honest with you. So we have the social media going on. We're going fast with the lawn care, you know, business, but at the same time we are getting landscaping projects. So honestly, we just placing everything, we just putting everything together right now. We don't know exactly what the next step is, but we just want to go big. You know, the goal is to go big. That's always the goal. So we're working towards that, yeah.

Enmanuel Tejada (26:04.347)
Let's fucking go. Let's fucking go. What do you think, Alejandro?

Lawnmowerboys (26:08.745)
You know, we don't like to say a little bit too much. You know, we, you know, competitors around, but yeah, we just, the plan is just to expand it. There's no limits right now. We're trying to, you know, get ourselves the base constructed will really well, trying to even get some employees here real soon. and yeah, keep the projects going and eventually, you know, move ourselves out of it as well, as well to keep on just.

Enmanuel Tejada (26:12.187)
Lawnmowerboys (26:38.537)
trying to focus on just growing the company. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Hey, but we haven't, I want to ask you some questions too. Like we want to get to know you better too. So what's going on over here? I see that you really like to interact with lawn care people. How did you start doing this? Like.

Enmanuel Tejada (26:41.627)
Right, instead of you guys having to go out and roll the lawns yourself. Yeah.

Enmanuel Tejada (26:52.635)
Yeah, yeah, for sure, bro.

Enmanuel Tejada (27:00.507)
Yeah, bro. So I actually own an agency and I'm full time in my agency now. So it's called landscape Maverick and pretty much our goal. My goal is to be the guy in the landscaping and hardscaping space that people trust for building websites, doing marketing, and just being somebody that they trust when they want to elevate their presence online, not as far as social media, but when it comes to their website, their ads,

their ability to bring in clients because as you guys know, I mean right now you guys are doing lawn care, but when it comes to the more expensive things like hardscape, it's a big decision, right? Like it's a lot of fucking money to go and put out a patio and a pergola or build a pool or do all these things. And a lot of times it comes down to winning the trust of the homeowner, right? So that's what I come in. I focus on branding, just like you guys are branding yourselves with the shirts and the trucks and the social media.

I do that on websites so that clients can see that they can trust your company and that you are the best competitor and they also give you less objections because you look more professional. So that's what I specialize in. But yeah, man, I'm just fucking enjoying it right now too, because I have this podcast and I get to speak with people like you guys that are fucking killing it.

and I get to understand how you guys think and a lot of the other guests have a lot of experience in life and it's a benefit for me too, right? Because even though I don't have a lawn care or landscaping company, I can apply some of those tips into my business too. So it's like a win -win and they get to shout themselves out. So it's pretty dope, man. And I'm glad to have you guys on, yo, for real.

Lawnmowerboys (28:36.55)
Appreciate you bro for sure. Yeah And that's pretty cool and then the business so you do just strictly business Marketing online marketing. That's how you say it again?

Enmanuel Tejada (28:39.003)
Haha. Hell yeah, bro.

Enmanuel Tejada (28:51.259)
Yeah, that's all I do. Yeah. So digital marketing for me consists of building amazing websites, running ads that actually get results for customer, for my clients, like landscapers and hardscapers and just, doing SEO as well so that you don't always have to pay to play, right? Like ads are paid per click. So every time somebody clicks on your ad, you get charged, but

If you show up there organically because you have good content on your website and everything is well structured, you show up at the very top and you don't have to pay anybody. It's free. And people, when they look up landscape or near me, if you're showing up at the very top, they're going to click on your name. Nobody's going to scroll down for 20 minutes trying to find somebody. They didn't want the first one. Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (29:21.996)
you

Lawnmowerboys (29:29.573)
Right, right. Right. And what's your future goal? Like, what are you trying to take?

Enmanuel Tejada (29:34.939)
My goal for this year is actually written on my wall in my bedroom and I'm probably gonna get in trouble for that shit because I wrote it with a marker because I'm a fucking savage. It says make $300 ,000 this year. I'm still far from the goal, but I'm pushing every single fucking day for it. But I don't know if you guys can tell by my eyes, but I've been up since fucking four. I'm sleepier than a motherfucker, but we're grinding, baby. That's what it's about.

Lawnmowerboys (29:56.228)
You gotta do what you gotta do, you gotta do what you gotta do. You know that's key, whatever you want to do if you stay consistent and you do it every day, you will get to your goal. That's literally everything bro, consistent, consistent, consistency bro. We learned that through e -commerce, everything, you might not know nothing about nothing, but if you stay consistent and you want to do something and you stay consistent, you will make it there.

Enmanuel Tejada (30:00.091)
Yes sir, yes sir, you know what the fuck you -

Enmanuel Tejada (30:07.355)
Dude, 100 % bro.

Enmanuel Tejada (30:23.003)
Dude, a thousand fucking percent, bro. A thousand percent. And you know what's crazy actually? I'm in the middle of doing 75 hard right now. So it involves two workouts per day. And before, I mean, I'm a slim dude. Like I'm six, six, two, and I weigh about 190. And I've always been like skinny fat. Like you can't see my abs, but I'm skinny. Like, like I'm type skinny. But by going to the gym every single day, even it's just 45 minutes.

I can already see my abs. Like it's crazy how if you do something every single day, how you see results. When I, before I had been working out for like three years and I couldn't even see my abs. Cause one day I'll go, one day I'll be like, fuck, I should do something else. Like I'm really busy right now and I'll find an excuse to not go. But now it's like, I'm going every day and I can see the impact of being consistent, bro. It's amazing.

Lawnmowerboys (31:11.682)
Yeah, and Amen going to the gym every day You know that's a goal that I had that we have on our own But once you start rolling with this long K thing Yeah, it takes your time and having energy to go to the gym after working 10 12 hours a day it becomes

Enmanuel Tejada (31:30.459)
It's tough bro, yeah that's what I always try to get and it's something I recommend for you guys too, like get that shit done first thing in the morning bro and then you're good. All you gotta do is mow and then when you come back home you just fucking sleep. Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (31:41.922)
Yeah, that's true. And we did think about that. That's something we're trying to start doing. Because we know a strong body, a strong mind, so we're trying to start doing that.

Enmanuel Tejada (31:53.531)
Exactly bro, exactly. And I think we look up to a lot of the same guys, right? Andrew Tse, Justin Waller, all these guys. I mean, these guys are fucking G's and their bodies is part of that.

Lawnmowerboys (31:59.049)
And you might.

Hamza, I don't know if you know Hamza.

You know Hamza Iman, that's the other creators that we... Yeah.

Enmanuel Tejada (32:06.907)
with us.

another one. Yeah, bro. Those guys are fucking killing it. Who do you guys look up to actually? Like who inspires you guys the most and you guys go like one by one because it might be different.

Lawnmowerboys (32:16.289)
Look, I'm gonna go first. This is crazy. So before all this, let's be honest, the whole thing that's going on around there, everywhere with the movements, I don't wanna say anything, I don't wanna get camped. So we used to think like, you can't be saying anything because it's bad. So I used to think like that too, until Andrew Tay came out, and he just started saying all these things. And honestly, everything he was saying, I would already think about it a little bit, but it was like nobody would say it.

Enmanuel Tejada (32:28.443)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (32:45.888)
So him just coming around, I'm gonna be honest, that was probably one of the biggest inspirations we got. It was like, okay, we need to get on grind mode. We need to like do something. We need to stop thinking like this. So I'll say for me, Andrew Tate is probably the main one. As well, I mean, Andrew Tate, man, and his brother, both of them actually, it's like, bro, I was already thinking like that. And then when they came in, I was like, perfect. So.

Enmanuel Tejada (32:55.003)
Hahaha.

Enmanuel Tejada (33:01.883)
And we'll tell you where to go. Whatever you want to do.

Lawnmowerboys (33:15.68)
That was one of the major ones that got us to thinking like this, I would say. And then a little bit of Iman and Hamza. A lot of self -improvement. You know, what about you?

Enmanuel Tejada (33:26.427)
Yeah, I'm just a G2, yeah. Same, yo, same as you guys, bro. Andrew Tate. Andrew Tate has been like the most impactful person in my life, bro. Like, and I've listened to a lot of people in that space of The Masculinity. Like, I've listened to Rich Cooper. I have been listening to... Preston Fitt, yeah, literally, bro. They're the ones that actually introduced me to Tate because they had Tate on a podcast, which was fucking phenomenal.

Lawnmowerboys (33:45.471)
question fit.

Lawnmowerboys (33:50.943)
Yeah.

Enmanuel Tejada (33:55.003)
And yeah, I have been listening to a lot of people throughout my life. I don't know if you guys know him, ET the hip hop preacher, Les Brown. These are like motivational speakers that are a bit older, but Andrew Tate, bro. Andrew Tate was a fucking guy, bro. And it's funny because I always wanted to be like him before I knew of him. So like when I was 21, I'm 24 now. And when I turned 21, I found out about Tate when I was 22. But when I turned 21 is when I went and smoked a cigar. Cause I was like, yo, in the future, I think I want to smoke cigars. I like the classy look.

Lawnmowerboys (34:00.286)
Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (34:04.031)
David Goggins.

Enmanuel Tejada (34:25.019)
And I think I want to enjoy fine drinks and look good like Tristan Tate. And then when I saw Tate come out like a year after I turned when I was 22, I was like, bro, that's who I want to fucking be. Like, that's a walking version of who the fuck I want to be like. So I'm glad that I was that he's around, bro, because he inspires the shit out of me. In fact, I was listening to him this morning for like an hour. One of those hour motivational videos that they put together on YouTube.

Lawnmowerboys (34:50.413)
Yeah, there's a lot of hate going on, you know, the things he says, but I just take the good things he be saying and I fight my life.

Enmanuel Tejada (34:58.203)
Exactly bro. Yeah, exactly. And it's yeah and a lot of things that he says is like People to the messenger people shoot the messenger instead of receiving the message that he's trying to say they say fuck you Tate instead of saying I don't like you but your message you are right with what you have to say I just don't like the way you say it so it's like, you know, take it like that

Lawnmowerboys (35:03.997)
Him playing the character.

Lawnmowerboys (35:19.197)
Yeah, but he was definitely like a big inspiration, not just for us. We've noticed a lot of people that we've met, actually people being successful, doing successful things. And you take what's a big part, you know, for them to start doing what they're doing.

Enmanuel Tejada (35:31.451)
for them to yeah literally bro yo that motherfucker is impactful bro like like our generation is gonna i think he saved a lot of our generation bro because as you guys know like when we look at younger people that are like younger than us there's a lot of shit going on bro i saw a kid with fucking painted nails bro he was like five years old i'm like what the fuck is going on right now bro like so it's a lot of soft shit going on but i think he he kind of saved a lot of it he's a big impact

Lawnmowerboys (35:40.06)
Good.

Lawnmowerboys (35:46.012)
and good.

Lawnmowerboys (35:57.148)
Yeah, he did. Right, right. And you can see, I just want to say everyone that is being successful on social media or in general, they have something in common and it's that guy. And everybody else, like you said, people with painted nails, pink hair, they don't like him, so you can tell. He's actually leading a good group of people.

Enmanuel Tejada (36:01.019)
Yeah, man.

Enmanuel Tejada (36:14.587)
Hahaha!

Enmanuel Tejada (36:19.515)
Literally bro.

That's a fact, man. That's a big fact. Who do you guys look up to? And do you guys have any specific mentors in the landscaping and lawn care space or hardscape that you guys look up to?

Lawnmowerboys (36:35.675)
Well, at the beginning, being honest, it was Chase. Yeah, we saw his content and we got a lot of ideas from him, from his content. So besides that, I haven't really looked up to no one else. It was probably just Chase. You know, now we talk to him and we're friends with him. So that's Chase, yeah. That's him.

Enmanuel Tejada (36:40.059)
Cheers.

Enmanuel Tejada (36:53.435)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yo, guys, huge shout out to Chase Grant. Go Growth Club, baby. Go join that shit right now if you want to become a millionaire in lawn care. Let's go.

Lawnmowerboys (37:01.146)
Yeah, yeah, you have to do that. Yeah, and then for me it was a very OG Blades of grass. I don't know if you ever heard of him. He's he's he's on YouTube mostly He's like he's been doing YouTube for a very long time. His name is blades of grass. He was a he gives tips of Very chill guy. He talks very very straightforward guy. So a person I used to look up to I'm like

Enmanuel Tejada (37:10.459)
No, what is his name?

Enmanuel Tejada (37:19.355)
yeah, black dude, would it be here I think, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He is, yeah bro.

Lawnmowerboys (37:30.361)
That guy right there.

Enmanuel Tejada (37:32.283)
That's a good role model, yeah, because he's older so he's been through a lot of shit so that's a good role model, yeah. Yo, why don't you mention that? He's from Atlanta?

Lawnmowerboys (37:35.161)
Yeah, and if I'm mistaken, we live in the same hometown as us in Georgia. I think in Georgia, I think in Savannah. I'm not too sure, but what about you?

Enmanuel Tejada (37:45.723)
Okay, gotcha. Yeah, probably it looks like some it looks like that area Yeah, and it's funny you mentioned him actually because he was supposed to be on the podcast I asked him and he replied to me and he said no, I don't really like doing things like this Hope you can understand and I was like, you know, totally fine. Don't worry about it, brother But it's funny that he replied to him and he has like over a hundred thousand followers. So that was pretty cool

Lawnmowerboys (37:49.752)
Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (38:04.825)
Yeah, pretty cool guy. Yeah, pretty cool guy. We haven't really gotten in touch with him, but I believe Chase has. But yeah, we know he's a cool guy, a place of grass. Hopefully, we'll meet him one day, you know?

Enmanuel Tejada (38:15.771)
Chase? really?

Enmanuel Tejada (38:21.819)
Yeah, hell yeah, bro. I think especially you guys, if you guys reach out to him, I think he'll definitely help you guys out. I'm sure he sees a lot of himself in you guys because you guys are young as fuck, you guys are grinding, going after it, the same thing he's doing. And I think he can maybe help you. That would be a dope collab. Imagine you guys collab on his channel, you guys get more exposure from that. That would be dope.

Lawnmowerboys (38:39.607)
Right.

Lawnmowerboys (38:43.543)
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's crazy. No one has really I know reach out to the long way boys just yeah another I see I see Another what's a what's some creators are popping out like oral landscaping another cool guy Like his content a lot like He's doing he's growing. He's his content is pretty fire. Yeah, this is yeah, there's a few guys out there You know coming out pretty cool like he's an old landscaping

Enmanuel Tejada (38:58.875)
Auto, China to Jacob, that's my guy right there, yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (39:13.239)
CMG I think the guy there Yeah, yeah

Enmanuel Tejada (39:15.355)
Yeah, he chased Chase Gallagher too. Yeah, he's the mentor of Jacob actually. Yeah, so that's pretty dope how those guys are collabing like that.

Lawnmowerboys (39:23.031)
Yeah, there's a lot of people coming up and you know the best thing is that a lot of these guys are young. So that feels good, you know, knowing that there's more people out here, you know, coming up in this online industry and it's our young guys like Chase, us, that guy. So yeah.

Enmanuel Tejada (39:41.851)
Damn bro, yeah, it's exciting bro. It gets me excited to see youngsters going at it like that bro, especially in a trade where like, well the trades in general, like blue collar work in general is seen as like, that's 30 or that's nasty, you're working outside, you're working with your hands, you don't have a suit on. It's kind of looked down upon, but I mean, you guys are going after it, Chase is getting after it.

Chase Grant, Chase Gallagher, Jacob Farling, all these fucking guys are getting after it. And they're young, bro. Like that's going to be the new thing. Like I think I saw Justin Waller talking about that. Like pretty soon you're going to see a YouTube guru or one of these young guys come on YouTube and be like, yo guys, the newest hack to get rich, start a landscaping company or start a plumbing company. It's pretty funny.

Lawnmowerboys (40:24.981)
Yeah, and I mean, I don't know if you noticed in the last one or two years, everyone's shifting towards online. Everyone wants to make money online. So everything that has to do with labor, you know, staying a little bit empty. So if this keeps on going, yeah, definitely being in this industry is going to be later on how to get rich, how to make money. Because it's going to go higher.

Enmanuel Tejada (40:34.523)
They don't even roll every fucking body yet.

Enmanuel Tejada (40:47.387)
Yeah, bro 1000 percent 1000 percent and it's funny because the pot the guy that I had on the podcast right before you guys He owns a plumbing company here in Philadelphia and he's 30 years old and he's already close to making he's close to making a million dollars he's gonna hit a million dollars this year and plumbing and He's saying that everybody every other plumber in his area, bro. They're old as fuck like they're about to retire

Lawnmowerboys (41:12.629)
Yeah.

Enmanuel Tejada (41:13.019)
So now, and there's not enough plumbers coming in to replace those guys. So he's at a position now where he can turn around and buy all the fucking other companies that are in this area. And like that's going to be fucking dope. Like he gets all those contracts. He keeps those same employees. So that's going to be huge opportunities for people to buy blue collar companies, like landscaping companies, arts giving companies, plumbing companies.

HVAC companies because all those things we need right like that's necessities But there's not enough people coming in to replace the people that are leaving out. So that's a huge opportunity right there

Lawnmowerboys (41:37.587)
Thanks, guys.

accessory.

Lawnmowerboys (41:44.768)
Yeah. Yeah. So I wanted to ask you something. So who inspires you to want to grow your digital marketing online? Is there someone online on Instagram or any apps that inspires you?

Enmanuel Tejada (42:01.499)
Yeah, my boy Dean White. Shout out to Dean White. I'm going to tag him on this too. He's the person whose course I bought originally about a year or so ago. Well, I actually had my agency before I bought his course and I was doing okay. I was all over the fucking place. But when I purchased his course, it really made me zone in like, all right, I have to pick a niche. Like I have to get centralized because I was doing shit for everybody, bro. I built the website for a gym. I built the website for,

Lawnmowerboys (42:03.923)
Right.

Enmanuel Tejada (42:31.355)
grocery store. I built a website for a animal removal company. I bought the website for a clothing brand and I was like what the fuck am I doing bro? Like it wasn't scalable because every time I would have to relearn every single fucking industry where if I can pick one industry I know what works and I can just repeat that same process for more people. So I zoned into home services overall like general like

Lawnmowerboys (42:44.018)
Thank you.

Enmanuel Tejada (42:57.115)
plumbers, landscapers, roofers, everything. And that was still too wide. So now I finally threw the net around landscaping because I have one of my boys here who's actually one of Tegrin's students and I was able to get him some good results. I did some work for Jacob actually from auto landscaping. We built his websites and his shit is popping off. You guys take a look at it, by the way, auto landscape dot com. That thing is fire.

Lawnmowerboys (43:09.234)
this.

Lawnmowerboys (43:18.642)
We will.

Enmanuel Tejada (43:20.475)
I'm excited bro to be able to help more guys in the space because if I can help them bring in more clients and Their business is gonna grow because of it. That's a win -win right there

Lawnmowerboys (43:30.481)
It is, definitely. We'll definitely get in contact with you, you know, help us out with that as well.

Enmanuel Tejada (43:32.123)
100 %

Enmanuel Tejada (43:37.659)
Yeah, for sure, bro. I got you guys, bro. What I'll do is I'll put together like a flat design and anybody that's listening in to like if you need if you have any questions about your website or about your marketing and you're a landscaper and you listen to a lot of what the lawnmower boys have to say, bro, and you know that you need a website to grow your business, let me know, bro. I got you. Whatever questions you guys have, reach out to me. I got you.

Lawnmowerboys (43:58.128)
Yeah, hit my man up, he got you. He's gonna help us out and he can help y 'all as well.

Enmanuel Tejada (44:03.195)
For sure, man, for sure. And guys, let's talk a little bit too about Chase Graham because we hit on that a little bit, but let's just dive in a little bit deeper into it. So he has the Go Growth Club. What do you guys think about that course, that community?

Lawnmowerboys (44:20.32)
There's a lot to say about it. Let me just put it in this perspective. When we started doing this, there was literally no help out there on how to do anything with this business, right? So basically what Chase is doing now is putting all those resources together and helping people out. So I think it's a great community to join. There's a lot of people out here helping beginners, how to get more customers.

I saw someone said, I have no customers to say it. I just locked in my first, I think, $4 ,000 contract. It's like, bro, you know, it's like all he did was join the community. He learned a few things. He was able to lock in that first contract. And you know, the next step is just keep on repeating it and grow more and more and more. So I think what Chase is doing is, you know, it's amazing. If you really want to pursue this and make money off a lawn care, that's the way to go. And you know, it's just the best thing you could do. It puts you in the...

It's the best thing you could do. I feel like even before We did this we for e -commerce we were joined communities discourse and they will always keep us up to date anything You know any mess up they will do it will all learn off now I keep that in mind and that's what helped me grow and e -commerce so fast. So same here. It's like if you're learning The best thing you could do is put yourself in the community. There's a whole bunch of people in the same boat as you Maybe they will do a mistake you can

Let me keep that in mind and you can just learn that much faster. It's like the best, you know Also our courses on there as well. So set that out, you know And you as well to have some good information. Yeah on there too. So it's like that growth clip

Enmanuel Tejada (46:01.239)
Yeah, literally that's that you just made me think about that too. I didn't know you guys I haven't seen your course yet I'll definitely take a look at it because I am in the grill group as well And man, yeah, like imagine getting access to one community and you get access to all these courses You get access to the lawnmower boys you get access to chase you get access to me because I put free content in there for anybody to use like that's valuable shit and then also being held accountable, right because Chase ask questions in there. I so

If he asks you, okay, what did you do today? Or how many people did you reach out to this week? And you say zero, you're going to feel like a bitch and nobody wants to feel like that. So it's going to motivate you to want to go out there and knock more fucking doors, make more calls, put up some more fucking door hangers and get results. So that's, that's valuable. Anybody that's looking to grow their lawn care company or thinking of starting one, that's a great spot to go. Grove Grove Club. Yep. That's the spot.

Lawnmowerboys (46:49.836)
Yeah. And another thing that I want to mention too is like, I think it's the app school. It like keeps the people engaged. There's like levels. The more you engage, the more you level up. So it kind of like puts you in a position. Like if you want to like, you know, grow, just keep on active and you will learn that faster and you will, you know. Yeah. The more active you are, the more you'll learn. You know, that's how it goes. Like I said, I've seen guys say, Hey, I'm just now starting to lock your business.

Enmanuel Tejada (47:14.107)
That's a fact, bro.

Lawnmowerboys (47:18.604)
two weeks later say, hey, I got my first five customers. And those five customers is gonna be cashflow, it's gonna keep coming back every two weeks. So it's something nice to see that Chase and us, we've been able to help someone out just by answering their questions. All they gotta do is ask a question or any concerns they got. And there's a bunch of people with like us, even with more experience that can just help them out, let them know what's going on, guide them the right.

Enmanuel Tejada (47:44.123)
yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (47:46.827)
Direction and everything. So yeah, that's pretty cool as well as the community is more bigger than us We as he said we have people in there from Australia. Yeah a whole bunch of people that join and they have their own big Businesses that they have, you know, and it's pretty cool. You know the new upcoming community. Yeah

Enmanuel Tejada (48:06.651)
Yeah, and imagine asking those guys questions because their companies are fucking huge. So it's like, like you, you, you know, you can't reach this person any other way. Like they're in that community and then you reach out to them and that's valuable. So.

Lawnmowerboys (48:11.882)
Yeah.

Lawnmowerboys (48:20.298)
Yes, and you know everyone does their business a little bit different, they grow their business a little bit different and that's the beauty of this community as well. You can see different points of views of how people did it and you can basically see what you should follow. There's people that did it in a certain way and that might be more convenient for you than the other way the other person did it. For example, our boy Eric, he started with a push bar.

That's something that, that's a step that we really didn't go through, but there's people out there who actually are push mowering. So he's helping them out. Like us, we started with like, you know, already like bigger machinery, concentrating more on bigger properties. So that's something we do. So it's really like what you want to learn, which way you want to go. You want to go smaller, bigger, this way, that way. Yeah. It works out like a domino thing. If you want to go, if you start with a little push mower, he has this, us, you know, kind of get bigger and then chase.

Enmanuel Tejada (49:01.851)
Mm -hmm.
