From a young age, I’ve always felt drawn to helping others. I’ll never forget being just 8 years old, pulling hundreds of weeds by hand in my neighbor’s backyard. I didn’t expect anything in return, but he handed me a Snickers ice cream bar—and in that moment, something clicked. That small gesture planted a big question in my heart:
How could I use my hands to make a real impact on the people around me? As I got older, I struggled to figure out what I was meant to do. I spent years chasing a career that barely lasted a month. Deep down, I knew there had to be something more. So in 2015, I picked up a camera and started filming simple “how-to” repair videos for YouTube. Later in 2018, I took a leap of faith and quit my dead-end 9-5 job and launched my own lawn care business. My content also began to shift toward the lawn care work.

​

Before long, I realized my true calling wasn’t just mowing lawns—it was sharing that work with the world. Today, I’m a full-time content creator, transforming overgrown yards and showing millions of people the art behind free lawn makeovers. My videos aren’t just about grass—they’re about second chances, renewed hope, and the quiet power of serving others. We now serve hundreds of our neighbors across the PNW. Everything we do is rooted in the values that matter most: honesty, trust, and hard work. But more than anything, our foundation is built on Jesus Christ. He’s the one who’s guided me from that first backyard to where we are today. Without Him, none of this would exist.

​

It’s an honor to share our helpful hands—and this mission—with you.
