Landscaping wasn’t a dream for Steve Griggs. If anything, it was just work. As a kid, he was the one doing the labor while his dad handled the business side, and that simple dynamic stuck with him more than he realized.
After college, he jumped into his own landscaping business, doing everything himself. He always had long days, dealt with physical exhaustion, and constant pressure to keep jobs moving. For a while, it felt like the only way to succeed was to work harder than everyone else. But that path started to wear on him.
What changed everything was a shift in perspective. Steve stopped trying to do it all and began focusing on design, relationships, and managing projects instead of just labor. That decision opened the door to better clients, bigger projects, and a business that didn’t rely on him burning out.
In this episode, Steve shares what most people don’t realize about how to start a landscaping business, why connecting with people matters more than being the best at landscaping, and how honesty can turn first-time clients into lifelong relationships.
