Ever feel like your work looks pro—but your business doesn’t?

 

In this episode, Scott sits down with Ezra McCarthy of Green Frog Web Design to unpack the truth about branding for landscapers—and why it has nothing to do with your logo.

If you’ve ever lost a job to a “cheaper” competitor, this one’s for you.

 

You’ll learn:

✅ Why your truck, quote, and crew say more than your Facebook page ever could

✅ The difference between branding and marketing (and how most landscapers get it wrong)

✅ Real talk on websites, logos, and what customers really notice

✅ How branding helps you charge more—and attract clients who actually pay on time

✅ The simple fix to make your business look like it’s worth the price

 

Ezra and Scott don’t pull punches—this is straight talk about why your image matters, how to stop looking like a one-man show (even if you are), and how to build trust before you even pick up the phone.

 

🎯 Quick win: Walk outside, look at your truck, and ask yourself—“Would I pay top dollar to hire this guy?”

Cheap Lawn Care? Why Your Brand Might Be Costing You Thousands- MDL Episode 359

Ever had a homeowner say, “You’re too expensive”—and not know what to say next?

In this episode, Kati breaks down exactly how to handle price objections without getting defensive or dropping your pants (your prices, that is).

 

You’ll learn:

✅ Why “too expensive” is usually just a conversation starter

✅ The power of “What” questions to uncover what the customer really cares about

✅ How to turn sticker shock into a sale (with mulch, patios, or planting beds)

✅ Real-world scripts and responses you can steal today

✅ How to use AI (yep, even ChatGPT) to practice these conversations

 

Kati walks you through examples word-for-word so you can confidently answer price pushback—and sell the value, not just the job.

 

🎯 Try this on your next estimate: ask, “What would you need to see to feel good about this investment?” Then shut up—and let them talk.
