New season, real conversations. 🌱

Chris sits down with Dan Tennity of Lawn & Land by Tarzan for a no-fluff breakdown of what it actually looks like to build a lawn care business the smart way. From running 230+ customers as a solo operator to using systems, referrals, and strong expectations to stay efficient, Dan shares what’s working—and what he’s learned the hard way.

They dive into growth, hiring, and leadership, cut through industry hype and “snake oil,” and talk about why people over profits is more than a catchphrase. The goal isn’t just growth—it’s building a sustainable business with great customers, a strong team, and a clear plan forward. 🎧

In this solo episode of The Rootzone Podcast, Chris Stoudt checks back in after some time away. He talks about finding his rhythm again, having the energy to get back behind the mic, and why he’s excited about what’s ahead. A quick reset, a look forward, and a return to the conversations that matter—with some great new guests coming this year.

In this episode, I sit down with Zach Smith of Gregson-Clark Spraying Equipment — a guy I’ve been talking with every season for over a decade.

If you're in turf, pest, or ornamental care, this one is worth a listen. Zach shares some sharp insights that can help any operator, whether you're running one truck or a fleet.
