I always wondered why he sold so much landscape supply tools/accessories. Now it makes sense. He already has all the product and overhead to store it, adding that online sales component is an easy way to bring in some more revenue. Smart!
Copper Creek Cuts Lawn Care we run the BALLARD products side completely separate from another facility. But for many years we ran it out of a small bay in our Perficut building until I refocused on it and started to scale it more.
According to my calculations this guys has to be doing well over 10-15 million a year! Fleet that big, crew that size (30 plus field + all the office workers). This is seriously next level! The other lawn guys in his are probably struggling to get by as a company this large can draw in all the prospects and easily out bid and still get the job done for prfits!

Ballard Inc we are two hours away from you and always wanted to see your facility. Never had the nerve to pick up the phone. Thanks for letting Blake film this. I remember back in the late 90's or early 2000's we bought our first ez-gate at gie/expo from your booth. It is still on one of our trailers.
Hey Blake love the tours, also when you toured city turf I thought that was really cool. They’re in Murphy Texas. I live in Wylie Texas about 10 minutes from there and have seen city turf out kicking butt for years.
15:32 the poor mans paint job 101. Torpedo heater because shops to cold aka no heat. Rattle cans because we’re cheap on buying John Deere Green and John Deere Yellow paint for a air gun
Nigh's Cutting Edge I have a business partner at Perficut, he runs the day to day operations now as I stepped away to focus on our product line. He’s been with me for a long time and is very passionate about our Site Management side. Only because of great people do I have the flexibility to chase some things I’m passionate about.
"When firms switched to open offices, face to face interactions fell by 70%" Article fromHarvard, hbr.org/2019/11/the-truth-about-open-offices --- I work as a Software Developer and open offices suck! It makes it feel like you ALWAYS have to be doing something important. And it stops you from Googling stupid questions because it feels like people are always watching your screen. Really Slows down productivity.
If what you are googling is about work then google away or ask for help. When you're getting paid, you shouldn't have much down time. A break here and there is one thing, but sitting on the clock and screwing off is one reason they probably want open offices.
Ya walking around showing everything, but u notice theirs a office with employees, funny thing he didn't say anything about the 2 mil bank note which is owed on all that stuff. No thanks, I have a huge company all to my self, didn't need a bank to earn it, I worked hard bought the stuff myself, i dont have to beg anyone for money to keep my company running, when i need something I'm my own bank. No physical way someone can own all that stuff outright. I speak from personal experience. I know plenty of ppl in the industry who own large operations and often use banks to finance their operations, by the time the item is paid off it's already destroyed by the employees, no thanks on it all...
I would say you are probably wrong. They slowly built to this. They have huge commercial accounts, and they are big into hardscapes as well. They have a lot of money pouring in.
8:08 we use notifi at our job for all work order requests and it’s amazing.
His trimmers are worth more than my entire business lol
Zachary D he buys the right stuff
That’s sad
Completely amazing the scale of his business. His overhead must be huge.great video
I live in the same area as him, so crazy to see how big the company really is.

The Most Successful Guy

Yearly revenue and profit margins? Any inside info?
Only what was in video. They want to keep revenue private!
Didn’t that place used to be in Ankeny because if there was I went passed the place every time I went to my grandmas
👍👍👍
they have to have alot of commercial jobs
He calls everyone buddy
Seems like he is bigger than lawn care millionare
15:32 the poor mans paint job 101. Torpedo heater because shops to cold aka no heat. Rattle cans because we’re cheap on buying John Deere Green and John Deere Yellow paint for a air gun
Cory really needs to smile more and not be so serious!!
Nice video. So he has a silent business partner. I always figured he owned it all.

I can't imagine what their overhead is! Comercial Is daunting work and tuff to keep employees. I personally don't like it.
Roman Oliveira what do u mean? Seriously?
Its insane to think a lawncare business has office jobs and can be this big
Lawn mowing a cut throat business
Ya walking around showing everything, but u notice theirs a office with employees, funny thing he didn't say anything about the 2 mil bank note which is owed on all that stuff. No thanks, I have a huge company all to my self, didn't need a bank to earn it, I worked hard bought the stuff myself, i dont have to beg anyone for money to keep my company running, when i need something I'm my own bank.

Snapchat
He’s clearly addicted to amphetamines. That’s what a big company like this will do with all the little nuances.
How can you tell? Is he too high re ved? If he's using drugs, he should quit.
Great video
