Man when you have a good boss and get payed treated good you'll do what ever, I make 120 a day I work In stucco, I started in December at 100, I work In the pump, my boss takes all of us to eat at times it's 2 groups with 7 ppl, he feeds us, he works with us even, I'm 18 he believes in me like no other, I'm a recovering drug addict, he always motivates me, he's a good men
yes i agree. A good boss will motivate you to work hard. But when a boss comes in every morning, always whining about a little thing that you guys messed up on then it gets annoying and you start to loose motivation for coming into work
GREAT THING BRUH , YOU ARE A RARE BREED, A LOT OF EMPLOYEES SUCK DONT LIE YOU LAZY BUMS, I PAY 130 TO MY LABORS AND FEED THEM ALL THE TIME, WE CHILL, AND THEY STILL DONT SHOW UP
Wow Tee this the type of info needed , this the reason I support you bro " you are the real deal " always make videos for people that are serious about Growing !
"it's going to take time!" That's what most employees absolutely do not get. They want the immediate payoff without putting in the time. They are so short sighted and cannot see the big picture.
I’m not that crazy that he didn’t have lawncare/landscaping exp. however as a cashier let’s see what he has. He can be trusted with $, a cashier will know how to finish the day with the register & MOST importantly he has that last communication with the customer. Which a lot of people forget about. All that & results is what matters. At least to us it does. T made the right decision
Jose seems like a great guy and to step up time and time again is huge glad your a boss that appreciate that and glad to see he is willing to take them steps way to go guys
I either have to stop watching your videos or come out to Cali and work for you. Watching these make me realize how bad I am getting screwed at my company. I run crews, give all the direction, plan all the jobs, handle customers and payments and get a fraction of what your guys are getting paid. Plus plow snow for them.. something has to give lol. Glad to see you take care of your guys which will return the favor for you gladly.
The potential for growth in the company is key! Along with a boss that isn’t afraid to pay for your growth that’s how you make a career, now the real question is where did Josè get that sweat shirt because it’s 🔥🔥
Having had guys working with me for over 15 years this is very good info. Biggest tip....how do you pay your guys good?....change your biz model to bring in enough cash to make good money, pay your guys good and it will make your life a bit easier. You end up with guys that are loyal and spend enough time with you to know how things need to be done without you. Good video Tigran.
Awesome video pay the man what he is worth. You can tell he and owner are on the same page. This is how a great company works communication and rewarding employees!!!!!!
This may work in California, but here in Michigan, you are not going to find landscaping jobs that cost as much as what is out west, these people here do not have that kind of disposable income to spend a 100K or even 50K on landscaping. The most you could expect to get to is maybe 25-30K at best.
Incredible how Jose was in a completely different job and now he’s running a jobsite in a short time? 3 years? Good job Tigran. Im glad you pay him that well! He deserves that! I pay my foreman 28, the goal this year is to give him more if he gets more weight off my shoulder!
Great Job Applewood Landscaping, Not all employers want their employees to grow, that says a lot about you Tigran, WE CAN ALL GROW TOGETHER. Awesome video
In your face haters lol !! 😂 Keep working hard Jose , make sure you get those 40 this year! This is Juan the painter on Ronnie way on Saratoga. Peace Tigran! ✌️
What I would like to know if if Tigran ever considers commission instead of hourly for the fixed cost on the job. We started doing that for our small business and efficiency went up.
Reward Jose with $40. He deserves it. Don't be Safeway. Jose eventually will start his own gig if you don't. Great video, nice to see some interaction with Applewood employees. It makes your channel feel more authentic.
Average in Va where I live is about $13.00 hr but we dont have Gavin Newsom cost of living and taxes are half of killer Cali.If people made $23.00 hr her they rich they rich.$7.00 hr at McDonalds .
$15.00 hr minimum wage would kill small businesses in my part of Va but great for Northern Va they need to research that B4 passing that bill but one shoe fits all.
@@greenthumb5730 are they suppose to devote their lives to you and never try to venture out on their own? I’m confused you seem angry at the fact they leave to start their own business I guess you never worked for anyone. Pot meet kettle
I am the project manager, scheduler, estate, superintendent, and I deal with customers 80% of the time. I don't even get to 70k. My last and only raised was $1 per hour about a month ago. I'm still kinda insulted by it. I was hired to be a super only. But, I do like my job most of the time.
My brother and I both work together as a 2-man team as a plumber and electrician for his friend of 20+ years. And there are so many projects we can finish by ourselves that his friend had to hire other subcontractors. I'm kind of annoyed by the fact that 30% of the time we had to fix other subcontractor's work and we get paid a salary wage. I don't want to complain but how are you a friend of 20+ years and pay some random dude triple the amount of money while we're working our asses off to make sure the company profits? In the 2 years that I work for this company, I've worked hundreds of sundays (7days/week) and has never gotten a bonus or an offer to pay for the sunday's food. And he regularly visits us during lunch hour to eat our food.
How would you go about asking for a raise when your running the show at a company I have keys to both trucks and to the shop I get there early before both crews to have all the material ready when they get there I do inventory in the morning as well make sure both trucks are running good, and gas filled, all equipment consistent oil changes, clean up the shop, I pick up all new material orders when they come in and stock it myself, I talk to all customers and make sure they're satisfied, I don't leave a jobsite til I double check everything and make sure it is perfect, I hold the company credit card as well as take all payments from customers and take time out of my personal time to finish jobs. I've currently been the supervisor to both crews for about a year and only received a dollar raise for when I got the position
Most hispanic owned companies are not best to work for because they treat like the own you and pay the lowest they can getaway with. Then treathen you with this phrase if you don't like it i can get other to do it for less
Nice good job sir Taking care of you employees and allowing them a family flexible schedule normal 40 hour consistently is the best thing you can do stingy business owners runing there guys tired is not a smart move long term eventually they will leave and also I agree you pay for what you get pay your employees good and they will work good!! I run my business like you but I don’t have anything nearly as much capital But I still treat me workers like wise
How much you wanna bet they had a raise conversation after?😉 Jose almost seems like a franchisee, is that a business development in the future? T do you provide health insurance for your workers or is that a goal for the future? Jose could create a training video for GOAT game on communication.(Unless that has already been done) Overall great video, it is awesome to see this strong relationship that has been built right with a ton of trust/honesty.
Hey T , Before i say what I’m about to say i like to say that I admire you very much Bro. And the reason why i do is because how you started your Business with $145 profit and Now you’re making Millions. And i started back in 2004 basically the same way as you did but way before you , I had a F250 pick up truck , bought a compacter some hand tools and rented everything else, looked for someone who knew the brick paver business , which wasn’t name Carlos by the way, his name was Felipe a Mexican kid which I learned a lot from it. It’s a very long story, end up quitting everything back in 2007 , i was doing very well , but unfortunately i had some family issues and gave up on everything. Today I’m watching your videos and saving some money to start All over again. But this time i like to start with a Pick up truck , dump Trailer and rent a kid steer till i can purchase a Cat 270D. Jejahjehjah. But never mind my introduction, i just like to mention something, which please don’t get me wrong, i know it’s your $$$ and you manage how ever suits you.But instead of giving away equipment to people online why won’t you give it to some of the Hard working Humble Guys that helps you making all this $$$? Just Saying… i mean keep doing what you do for your subscribers but watch out more for those who makes grow more and more on the Daily basis…Like i said , please don’t miss understand me.
I really watch your videos a lot and there helpful I am 28 and I just started my irrigation landscaping business keep it up learning a lot just one thing I am working on getting my c 27 what do you recommended on when I am about to test .
I know haters never stop, but this video is going to keep some of them in completed silence 🤐 , good for you and your company Tigran! Keep working hard boys , Latino power , arriba arriba arriba!! ✌️

Pay them well and keep them in work . Very simple ! You be cheap and treat people like they are only worth $12 an hour you will get a $12 an hour worker .
I’m a union carpenter but the union sucks tbh there’s hardly any work for me I live in the Central Valley in Modesto give me a chance so I can show you my skills
Have any friends that want to work for a landscaper in North Dakota I would pay 25 an hour starting easy in a heartbeat have never had an employee like Jose is worth 40 an hour easy!
Jose is a liar you could move up in sefway and u don’t get stuck in sefeway even in the same position u will go up to all the way $30 my wife is cashier at sefeway and she almost get $27 only 2 years

Good people are hard to find once you find them pay them !!! If I could find some more money motivated people I could grow my business
Jose is a good guy. I work at Safeway Acme in Lancaster Pa. plus I own my own Landscape business on top of 20years at Acme.
Thank you so much. I just bought contractor trash bags for my mom. Thank you again
lol
Great Video T. I haven't found my Jose yet. might start shopping at Safeway hang at the Dairy section.
Reward Jose with $40. He deserves it. Don't be Safeway. Jose eventually will start his own gig if you don't. Great video, nice to see some interaction with Applewood employees. It makes your channel feel more authentic.
If he doesn’t pay him 40. Jose will never have a chance to save money to open his own business.

Fellow former landscaper- Great business model. 100% accurate.

How is Tigray greedy if he’s giving away a ditch witch
He's got honest eyes
So right with the mowing comment! I wasted too many years in the mow biz
"11 years of his fucking life "
$15.00 hr minimum wage would kill small businesses in my part of Va but great for Northern Va they need to research that B4 passing that bill but one shoe fits all.
My family and I run a construction company out of Toronto and we’re pretty big (40 plus guys) and it’s impossible to find guys
I get ye it's hard to find guys punctual and just that are respectable plus hard working
Whats the name of your company? Were an hour and a half from you near London Ontario
40 and hour? I’m available I’m licensed in irrigation and I can do pavers stamped concrete etc....
So how do u “FIND” reliable employees bc i learned how to keep reliable employees. But where u find him tho
I don’t think you find them you make them and when they take care of you you have to take care of them.
@@manny53o You make them and after they leave you to make their own business.

Man, sounds like you need to find a better home.
$34 an hour in San Jose today is poverty.......Tigran you need to pay your employees more.
Youre an absolute moron.
That’s roughly 70k a year. That’s a great living it’s more that what most couples make combined
Bro out here in the midwest? U lucky to get 20 an hour.
