About Dirtbag Lawn Co.
Most people treat lawn care and snow removal like chores.
Most companies treat them like cash grabs.
Not us.
We see it for what it really is:
A battlefield.
A craft.
A shot at mastery.
When you spend half your life fighting dirt and snow, you either learn to respect it — or you get buried by it.
We’re not here to push mowers and plow driveways.
We’re here to beat back chaos — and do it so well you actually feel proud to look at your yard again.
This isn't a side hustle.
This isn't a money grab.
This is the work.
The sacred, stubborn, brutal grind.
And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
The Dirtbag Manifesto
We believe in the dirt.
Not in the Instagram-filtered, corporate-approved, chemical-bathed fantasy of it —
but the real dirt.
The stubborn, cracked, pissed-off earth that doesn’t give a damn about your feelings.
And we love it anyway.
We believe work is sacred.
Not busywork.
Not fake-hustle #grindset posturing.
Real work.
The kind that chews up your hands, destroys your boots, and dares you to come back tomorrow.
We believe nature wins.
You can nuke it, fake it, or cheat it — for a while.
But sooner or later, the dirt calls your bluff.
We work with it, not against it.
Because nature doesn’t give second chances — and it doesn’t take IOUs.
We believe your lawn is a reflection of your character.
You want shortcuts? Call somebody else.
You want another overpriced chemical crutch? Move along.
You want to build something real?
Something stubborn and beautiful that outlasts you?
Grab a damn shovel. We’ll show you how.
We believe mastery matters.
Mowing a lawn isn’t a chore.
It’s meditation.
It’s war.
It’s art.
And if you think that sounds dramatic, it’s because you’ve never seen a true Dirtbag in motion.
We believe humor is survival.
Life’s gonna beat the hell out of you anyway.
Might as well laugh while you bleed.
We believe in fixing things the hard way.
The right way.
The way that actually lasts.
Because anything worth having —
a strong lawn, a strong body, a strong life —
only grows through struggle.
We believe you’re either building something real... or you're full of shit.
No in-between.
No safe spaces.
No participation trophies.
Not in the dirt.
Not in life.
Final word:
You want fake?
You want easy?
You want polished suburban lies?
Call somebody else.
You want raw?
You want real?
You want a lawn — and a life — that actually means something?
Good.
You’re Dirtbag material.
Growth and Decay: The Lawns of Being
The ground remembers.
Beneath your feet, beneath the weight of time pressing down upon it, the soil holds stories older than language, older than thought. It is the quiet keeper of all things that rise and fall. The blade of grass stretching toward the sun. The root burrowing into the unseen dark. The seed waiting in stillness, knowing nothing of the wind, the rain, the seasons that will shape it.
Life is a cycle, and we are caught within it.
A lawn is not just a patch of green. It is a reflection of will. A measure of care. A testament to the struggle between what we build and what the earth reclaims. Left untouched, the wild emerges. The weeds creep in—not with malice, not with intent, but with inevitability. For nature does not ask for permission. It does not wait for neglect to turn to regret. It simply is.
And yet, we try.
With our hands, our tools, our brief and fleeting attention, we shape the ground beneath us. We cut, we pull, we plant, we water. We attempt, in vain, to make something last. Not forever, no. Nothing is forever. But long enough to matter.
Because that is what it means to exist.
To tend to something knowing it will one day fade. To fight back the encroaching wilds, even as they whisper that all things return to them in time. To kneel in the dirt, knowing that the work is never finished, that the battle is never won—only waged, moment by moment, season by season.
And yet, we persist.
Not because we believe we will win. Not because we are blind to the futility of it all.
But because somewhere in the rhythm of effort, in the hum of the mower, in the scent of earth turned by our hands, there is something true.
Something real.
Something worth doing.
My Story
Why I Started Dirtbag Lawn Co.
I didn’t build this company because I thought lawn care was some gold mine.
I built it because I got sick of watching something sacred get sold for scraps.
I’ve spent over 20 years in the trenches — lawn care, landscaping, tree work, snow removal, heavy equipment.
I’ve seen every lazy shortcut. Every dirty upsell. Every lie dressed up like a service.
And here’s the brutal truth they’ll never put in their commercials:
Healthy lawns don’t make them money.
Sick lawns do.
The more broken your dirt, the more desperate you are to buy their next "solution."
They don’t want you to win.
They want you trapped.
I watched it happen over and over — good people handing over hard-earned money for band-aids that never healed anything.
I worked for companies that called themselves “full service” but were really just chemical cartels with a lawn mower strapped to the side.
I even ran my own crew under someone else’s flag once, thinking I could change it from the inside.
I couldn’t.
You don’t fix a broken machine by polishing the parts.
You throw the whole damn thing in the fire and start over.
That’s why Dirtbag exists.
Not to treat symptoms.
Not to keep you dependent.
But to build something real.
To build something that outlasts both of us.
Because real work — the kind that actually matters — doesn’t trap you.
It frees you.
It leaves something standing when you're gone.
The Lesson That Changed Everything
One of the biggest lessons I ever learned didn’t come from a book.
It didn’t come from some "certification" course or trade show.
It came from a customer — a little old lady with the best damn lawn on the block.
No chemicals.
No gimmicks.
Just patience, stubbornness, and a respect for dirt that could put the whole industry to shame.
Her "secret" was stupid simple:
-
Organic fertilizer once or twice a year.
-
Mow high, mulch everything.
-
Deep watering, twice a week.
-
Pull a damn weed once in a while.
That’s it.
No aeration. No dethatching. No toxic sprays. No endless bills.
While her neighbors were burning thousands of dollars chasing green paint on dead dirt,
she was sitting on her porch, coffee in hand, smiling at a lawn that was more alive than half the city.
Because her soil was as alive as her soul — and living soil takes care of itself.
That’s when it finally clicked:
It’s not about throwing money at problems.
It’s about fighting smarter.
And it’s about fighting with respect.
The Industry Hopes You Stay Weak
They don't want you to know the truth.
They need you confused.
They need your soil dead.
They need your wallet open.
But nature?
Nature isn’t a salesman.
Nature rewards the ones who stay patient, stay stubborn, and show up even when it’s hard.
That’s the Dirtbag way.
I'm not here to babysit your lawn.
I'm not here to trap you in an endless service plan.
I'm here to fix your dirt, set your lawn free, and hand you back something most companies won’t even talk about:
Pride.
Let's Talk
I didn’t build Dirtbag Lawn Co. just to chase paychecks.
I built it to build real relationships — the kind that outlast invoices and service calls.
So whether you want to talk about your lawn, swap philosophy, shoot the shit about life, or just need someone who actually listens — I'm here.
For the dirt.
For the grind.
For the people willing to fight for something real.
Or hell — maybe you just want me to swing by and roast your yard for sport.
I’m good either way.
