An obsession with being the best lawn care company in Canada - Calgary - Canada's Podcast

James Szojka started Yard Dawgs Lawn Care in 2014 as a tuition pay-off plan. Being allergic to grass, it was supposed to be a couple of years and summer only job.

But after graduating from university, he decided to give the business a full year of his attention to see what would happen as he did love the industry and building a team. He went all in on the company's niche: making lawns green, weed free and healthy. Fast forward to 2024, the company is operating with 17 trucks, and it is planning to take care of over 6,000 clients this upcoming season. He's become obsessed with being the best lawn care company in the city, and now has the goal of being Canada’s largest lawn care company. During the winter months and now throughout the year he also runs "The Dirt Life" channel on YouTube, which focuses on coaching others to in starting their own lawn care companies.
