THE STORY

Laid off in 2020.
Tired of sitting around.

Rob Pychel started Robbs Lawncare during Covid — laid off from a steady job and not built for sitting on a couch. He started cutting a few lawns for neighbours, then for friends of neighbours, and the list kept getting longer.

By 2024 he was full-time. By 2026 the schedule is full enough that new properties get a waitlist in the back half of the season. That growth is entirely word-of-mouth — no paid ads, no flyers, no door-knocking. People liked the work and told someone.

The operating principle hasn’t changed in four years: do the job the way it should be done, even when nobody’s watching. Show up the same day every week. Don’t cut wet grass. Steel-blade the edges. Come back if something got missed.

005 · HOW WE WORK

Five things
we won’t do.

Most of being good at this is what you refuse to do. The list is short, public, and not negotiable per property.

/ 01

Cut wet grass.

It tears, mats, and damages root structure. Rob will come back the next dry day instead.

/ 02

Scalp the lawn.

Cut height is set on your property and held. Never lowered to save a return visit.

/ 03

Skip edging.

Steel-blade edging happens every visit. Never substituted with a string trimmer.

/ 04

Send someone else.

Rob is the business. The face on the quote is the face on the lawn.

/ 05

Charge for re-dos.

Missed a strip? Forgot a tree ring? Rob comes back same-day or next-day, no question, no charge.

“I treat your lawn like I treat my own.
— Rob Pychel, Owner-Operator
