Introducing Myself

Hey guys, my name is Trevor and I’m a native to Colorado Springs, Colorado. I just turned 19 a month ago and this is my third summer in business. I started my “company” the summer I turned 17 because I just got my license and just wanted enough money to cover gas & car insurance. I went door to door and got 4 mowing clients that summer and I would do property clean ups in the fall. I started advertising as Keep It Clean Lawn & Landscape. Then the summer I tuned 18 I had saved enough money to buy a truck from one of my first clients. Once I got the truck everything snowballed and buy the end of the summer I had the truck, a trailer, two employees, “a lot” of equipment, and 60-70 weekly mowing accounts. I continued to do some property clean ups but it was my senior year so I put the business on hold until this April. I had come across Chase Gallagher, Jacob Farling, and learned the hardscape/project jobs was the route I wanted to go. This April I hired my current foreman and a helper and we mow 17 houses on monday and do small project work (mulch, clean up, rock) the rest of the week. I had a family friend who reached out because their contractor started on a design/build but left after first progress check and they asked if we can take it over. We did and it is an 80k project we are hoping to finish next Tuesday. I just rebranded my company to Empyre Outdoor Living and our current revenue is 160k since April of this year!
