Thank You, Fresh Quality Outdoor Services ❤️🌱

In 2022, I started Fresh Quality Outdoor Services with one goal to build something I could be proud of through hard work, honesty, and taking care of my customers.

Over the last four years, this business has become so much more than just mowing grass. It has introduced me to incredible customers, lifelong friendships, valuable lessons, and memories I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.

As many of you know, the last year has been one of the toughest seasons this business has ever faced. Between losing major contracts, rising operating costs, and learning firsthand how quickly circumstances can change, I’ve come to realize that even when you give everything you have, some things are simply beyond your control.

Through it all, I’ve continued to show up because that’s what I’ve always believed in. If I committed to a customer, I was going to finish the job.

But over the past year, I’ve also realized something… Sometimes life starts calling you toward a new chapter before you’re ready to admit it. After a lot of thought, prayers, and reflection, I’ve made the decision that it’s time for me to begin focusing on that next chapter.

Fresh Quality Outdoor Services is not closing.

I will continue to take care of my current customers, and I look forward to continuing to serve each of you with the same commitment you’ve come to expect.

However, I will no longer be accepting new lawn care or landscaping projects.

Before I close this chapter, there are a few people I want to thank.

First and foremost, my late friend Brandon Skinner.

Brandon believed in me when Fresh Quality Outdoor Services was just getting started. We spent countless hours mowing properties together, working through the Texas heat, and building this business from the ground up. He helped lay the foundation for what this company became, and I’ll always be grateful for the time we shared and the impact he had on my life. I miss you, buddy.

To Joshua Patterson and Heather Phelps, thank you for standing beside me during one of the busiest seasons this business ever experienced. Those long days in 2024 mowing apartment complexes weren’t easy, but your hard work, dedication, and willingness to push through made all the difference. I couldn’t have done it without yall.

To Jakebb St John, thank you for always being just a phone call away. No matter what was going on, you never hesitated to drop what you were doing to come help when I needed it most. That kind of loyalty and friendship is something I’ll never take for granted.

To every customer who trusted me with your property… THANK YOU! 🙏🏼

To everyone who referred my business, encouraged me, prayed for me, or simply shared a kind word along the way… THANK YOU! 🙏🏼

This business taught me responsibility, perseverance, leadership, customer service, and what it truly means to earn every dollar. It also taught me that sometimes growth means having the courage to step into something new.

Fresh Quality Outdoor Services will always be a part of my story. It gave me opportunities I never imagined, introduced me to amazing people, and helped shape the person and entrepreneur I am today.

This isn’t the end. It’s simply the beginning of a new chapter.

From the bottom of my heart… Thank you all for believing in me since 2022.

Here’s to the next chapter.

Owning a small lawn care business since 2022 has taught me a lot about hard work, perseverance, and how quickly things can change.

One thing I’ve always believed is that when I commit to a customer, I don’t quit on them. Whether it’s 110 degrees outside, equipment breaks down, or the workload feels overwhelming, I show up and get the job done.

For the better part of the last year, I’ve been mowing most of my properties by myself. Which takes a bit more time and effort, but atleast I know the job will be done right. I’ve had some great people help me along the way, and I’m grateful for every bit of blood, sweat, and effort they’ve invested. But the reality is that running a small business isn’t easy. Equipment maintenance, fuel, insurance, repairs, and everyday operating costs continue to rise, while many customers don’t realize how little margin is actually left at the end of the month, and it’s honestly hard to compete with the 4-6 man crew’s other companies have, because they can come in and do the job faster, but them coming in and taking my jobs hurts my household and money flow coming in…

I’ve learned firsthand that a business can grow too fast. In 2024, I took on 10 apartment complexes with only a two-person crew. We worked hard, but ultimately lost those properties. It was a tough lesson, but one that made me better.

Last summer brought new opportunities with an apartment complex and the townhomes where I live. Then management changed, and with it came their own lawn care provider. Just like that, over $3,500 a month in revenue disappeared.

Over the past couple of months, I picked up several duplex properties in White Oak and was proud of the work being done there. This week, I was informed that those properties would be moving in a different direction due to tenant complaints. Whether I agree with that decision or not, it’s part of the business.
The truth is that being self-employed means there are no guarantees. You can do quality work, show up every time, take pride in what you do, and still lose accounts for reasons outside your control.

I’m heading to Florida today, and I’m going to do my best to enjoy the trip and clear my head. But when I get back, it’ll be time to get back to work…. Whether that’s finding new mowing accounts, expanding into new opportunities, or pursuing additional employment.

I’m not posting this for sympathy. I’m posting it because a lot of people only see the finished product and not the challenges that come with building something from the ground up. Small business ownership can be rewarding, but it can also be humbling.

Either way, I’ll keep moving forward. That’s what I’ve always done.

If you need any lawn care work, please reach out, because I’d like to keep this train rolling, but it’s slowly not making sense… Thank you!!
