” We started MCD landscaping in 2003 of April, and, it we started with a big dream and then learned business wasn’t the easiest thing. And then we started getting a good flow and a great client base. We went to A to Z Projects because when you new in business, you kind of want to do everything. You’re like, I can do this, I can do that, I can do this.
And then as years went on – so for specifically 6 or 8 years ago – we realized that we didn’t want to do everything. We realized we were stretched too thin. And now we’re trying to figure out a gray paver over here and trying to maintain a lawn over here. And it just wasn’t working. I wasn’t happy with it. So we decided to refocus on lawn mowing. We started the business on lawn mowing. That was always my passion. So we went back to our roots, simply put. And we just started mowing lawns and maintaining landscapes. And that’s when we realized that was something we could manage very well.
We could promise things to people and we knew we could fulfill because we wouldn’t have, you know, some six figure installation that we’re trying to, you know, find the right plant for, like lawn mowing is once a week. And we know the local weather, we know what’s going on in this part of town and stuff like that. So it allows us to really be predictable in our scheduling and reliable, and we love lawn mowing, to be honest. So we started getting the wheels going that way. That really got us going, and got us back focused with a lot of clients. And then a few years ago, I guess four years ago, we really decided we wanted to grow the business. Kind of did a test year.
And then three years ago, we started growing the business. We’ve always been word of mouth. Always. We’ve never advertised. I think I’ve had business cards. I’ve never had a website. So we decided we wanted to advertise. And so we’ve been growing rapidly but very sustainably. And it’s always been a secret.
We never want to lose the small touch of the small business. That is incredibly important to me, to know all the to know all the little things in my clients properties, even though I don’t know lawns anymore. Our crew does that. But we found a business model that works that allows us to make every lawn look beautiful every single week with as much growth as we want, and still keeping that small feel, which is, incredibly important to me. It really, really is.”
