In this episode of The Landscaper Grow Show, host Mark Lamberth talks with Ivan Garcia of Garcia Brothers Lawn Services LLC in St. Louis about how he and his siblings stepped in to honor their late father’s wish and keep the family lawn business alive, and quickly grew it to a fully booked, six-person operation.

Ivan shares how his dad started 15 years ago with a single push mower and built up multiple trucks and trailers, and how the next generation has taken over clients, rebranded, and added structure with routes, scheduling, modern software, and paid marketing.

You’ll hear how Ivan runs sales, admin, and phones remotely from Seattle while his brothers and sister handle field work in St. Louis, why fast responsiveness (answering calls in real time instead of after a 12-hour day) has become their secret weapon for landing jobs, and how door hangers, a Google Business profile, and simple online ads have them so busy they’re now discussing raising prices and managing growth carefully.

If you’re building a family lawn business or juggling operations across cities, this story is full of practical ideas and inspiration.
