In the 41st episode of the Growing in the Green Industry Podcast, hosts Miles Kuperus III, system architect at Include Software, Brett Lemcke, VP of R.M. and Luke Melograno, production coordinator at Mariani Landscape, talk with Seth Kehne, president of Lawn Butler, a maintenance and design-build firm in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Kehne started mowing lawns in high school for a family friend’s small business. In his senior year, he purchased a commercial walk-behind mower and started Lawn Butler as a means to pay for college. He graduated in finance with the intention of working in the financial sector. Since 1999 Lawn Butler has grown by 10 percent or more every year and now has over 90 team members. The company operates debt-free.
In this podcast, discussion topics include the importance of focusing on your team (which also leads to a better experience for your clients), the value of timely, honest and thorough communication, and the future and evolution of the landscape and lawn care industry.
