I GET IT…

Growing a Profitable and Thriving Landscape Design Company Isn’t Easy…

Hi, I’m Josh and that’s my first, rusty work truck…when I turned 18, I checked myself out of highschool and started my LLC. I mowed more lawns than I care to count…

I thought that if I mowed more lawns or raked more leaves, I’d make more money. I started my landscaping business because I am passionate about being outdoors and helping my clients connect with nature, but

I felt stuck in an endless loop of backbreaking, thankless seasonal labor that still left me strapped for cash at the end of the month. I knew I needed to do something different than just mow one more yard…

HARD WORK NEVER SEEMS LIKE ENOUGH...

You Feel Stuck in the

Seasonal Grind of your

Landscape Business…

You’re out there before the sun rises and after it sets, you put in endless hours and break your back season after season but that profitable, enjoyable, well-oiled landscaping business seems completely out of reach.

You want to design and build profitable, magazine-worthy, 100,000 dollar custom landscaping design projects, but if you don’t make a change, your back will suffer, your business will suffer and you’ll be stuck in the cycle of seasonal landscape labor.

I highly recommend Luck Landscaping and will continue to use them for my landscaping projects.
