Plus: a simple Excel trick for tracking your true average price per lawn, why "doing everything" (mulch, gutters, pressure washing, sealing) can backfire on a solo operator, and the real talk on trusting subs and employees with your equipment.

A dental office client playing games with a late invoice, a chronic late-payer getting slapped with a $10 fee, and why 2027 might be the year of $50 minimums and dropping 10-15 underpriced accounts.

He and Greg dig into the "keyboard warrior" culture in lawn care Facebook groups. Guys bragging about lawn counts with zero context on lot size, root density, or equipment, and why that comparison game is a trap. The real number that matters isn't lawns per day, it's profit per lawn.

The guys are back live and the chat is fired up! Today's episode covers one of the most-asked questions in lawn care: what's the best starter truck for your business? From Ford Rangers to GMC Denali 2500 HDs, we break down real-world setups, towing capacity, MPG, and when it actually makes sense to upgrade. We also dig into dump trailer efficiency for fall cleanups, stand-on mower comparisons (Toro Multiforce vs. Bobcat), and mowing price minimums. Why $50 is the new floor. Plus, Scotts Miracle-Gro pledges $1 million to repair the White House South Lawn after the UFC 250 event left it in rough shape… and President Trump is personally picking the grass seed.

#239 - Should You Ditch Mowing for Landscaping?

Is mowing killing your margins, or are you just undercharging? Evan and Greg react to a lawn care video about a pro who ditched mowing entirely for landscaping, and break down whether that move actually makes financial sense. Plus: the real cost of unreliable employees and how to handle them, a Toro Multiforce repair breakdown (sump gasket, $359 total, was it worth it?) + a live hoverboard update as Evan tests his new Gyroor Warrior on the route, deer repellent tricks, pine cone blade damage, bi-weekly mowing (just say no), and the eternal debate: is it better to be slow and clean or fast and sloppy on the trimmer?

Use discount code for TURFNERDS10 for 10% off at Strauss, valid starting April 29 through May 31 Use code NERDS to save 10% on Spencer Products! You've seen the posts: "I cut 40 lawns today." And somewhere along the way, you started believing that's the goal. In this Turf Nerds on Turf's Up Radio episode, Evan and Greg get real about the lie that's quietly burning out solo lawn care operators. The idea that more lawns equals more success. They break down why building margin into your schedule is the smartest business move you're not making, how the 4-day work week changed everything, and why your identity shouldn't be tied to a cut count. Plus: a $90/hr upsell hiding in plain sight, the new Kawasaki EFI engine that thinks for itself, and why that landscaper didn't call you back. Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch! Look! We Have A Website!
