  • The Dave Ramsey of the Landscape Industry

    I listen to a lot of landscaping and business podcasts, and The Mulder Life Podcast is easily one of my top two favorites. The live Q&A format reminds me of Dave Ramsey’s EntreLeadership podcast — practical, direct, and packed with wisdom you can actually use in your business.

    If you’re in the landscape industry and want real, no-nonsense advice from someone who’s been in the trenches, this podcast is a must-listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 190. Building a $3 Million Business Without Chasing Revenue
Q: Do you remember what the quadrant exercise was called that you described for prioritizing tasks and activities?
Andy explains that the diagram helps separate activities by money-making potential and enjoyment, guiding hires to take on lower-value tasks so he can focus on higher-impact work.
Ep 187. Building the Blueprint: Equipment, Shop Upgrades, and Future Goals
Q: How long does it take to get the crew proficient with a tilt rotator?
It typically takes about 40 hours of runtime to become proficient, with the leader noting personal improvements over five years but acknowledging training needs for the rest of the team through focused practice in controlled settings.
Ep 187. Building the Blueprint: Equipment, Shop Upgrades, and Future Goals
Q: What is your estimating process like, and do you work with landscape architects or handle design in-house?
Estimations are handled in-house with the host emphasizing that they do all designs in-house, including 3D renderings and GPS files, while plant design is supported by a partner; they rarely work with landscape architects.
Ep 187. Building the Blueprint: Equipment, Shop Upgrades, and Future Goals
Q: Can you do a deep dive on what made you confident enough to jump off the boat and into the dock?
The host suggests a future episode to discuss the decision in depth, noting there were six months of saved wages and a careful consideration of risks before starting the business, with plans to cover this topic more comprehensively in another session.
Ep 182. Managing Difficult Clients and Natural Stone Variances in Landscaping Projects Explained
Q: How do you deal with difficult clients? slash variances in materials, for example natural stone color variances.
The core solution is clear internal reflection and external communication: set expectations early, explain that natural stone has color ranges, put that note in estimates or contracts, and avoid overpromising exact color matches. If disputes arise, defend professional estimates and shift the conversation to the job's planned outcome rather than the exact quantity, ensuring the client understands variability in natural materials.
