Paul is assisted with gardening by his talented wife and professional tools such as the Lawnmaster lawnmower, Stihl line trimmer, chainsaw, hedge trimmer, and blower for other yard work.

His advice to newcomers would be to listen to the managers, as they have a wealth of knowledge and experience, and to understand the needs of your customers.

Jason is part of the team at Crewcut Christchurch offering a range of lawn and garden services. These include lawn mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, general gardening, and shrub trimming in the city’s residential suburbs. He uses tools such as his Echo hedge trimmer and blower, Testarossa mower, and Stihl electric hedge trimmer.

Before starting his own business, Jason had been working within the health sector for 25 years and thoroughly enjoyed the challenges that this provided. In July 2020 a review of his position was proposed and by August the outcome was finalised. His position was to be dis-established and by October he was made redundant.

During this time, Jason was able to evaluate what was and is important and to see if there were ways to achieve a better work/ life balance. There were a variety of opportunities he was able to pursue, but after careful consideration being self-employed would suit himself and his family best. In April 2021 he decided to join Crewcut, the leading Lawn Care business in Christchurch.

Jason’s goal is to provide great customer service and consistent results. He believes this will lead to customer satisfaction and will help to grow his business through word of mouth.

Jason’s best skills are his excellent and consistent standard of work and his friendly and approachable personality. He always listens to, and works with his clients to achieve the best possible outcome for them, while also trying to exceed their expectations.

When he isn’t working, Jason loves spending time with his family, who are actively involved with summer and winter sports. His idea of free time involves relaxing, watching a movie, reading, enjoying a good glass of wine and taking the dog for a walk.

“One thing I've learned and now know is that stress is a killer. Take the time to smell the roses, spend time with family and friends and do what is important to you and those that you love. I would advise anyone who is entering this industry to keep it simple, be patient, and don't give up. Remember, you are earning an income from meeting great people, mowing their lawns and pulling their weeds. You are outside, the sun is on your back and you're enjoying listening to your favourite music.”

“Life is good.”

Prior to joining Crewcut, he used to work in engineering as a technical sales and support professional. He moved on from his corporate career because he wanted to get fit and enjoy what he’s doing every day. However, the salesman in Paul still lives on, as he has set up the goal of achieving an $80K target yearly mowing lawns and delivering related services in his area.

Paul considers his attention to detail as his best asset in the business. He advises newcomers to always listen to customers’ needs; being a salesman in the past, this was an inherent trait for him. He also mentions that if not for this franchise, he wouldn’t know the proper way to do his lawn.

His wife helps out with the accounting aside from assisting him while on the tools, but when they’re not on the tools they enjoy the simple things like having a cup of coffee to relax and unwind.

He doesn’t have a brand preference but most of his tools are either Shindaiwa or Testarossa.

Robbie used to be a butcher. He says being in the butcher shop was like a prison sentence because he wanted to be outside all the time. He happened to have a passion for gardening and after looking for a few companies and speaking to a few guys, he decided to go with Crewcut. He remembers that all the people he talked to seemed pretty happy about their respective businesses.

His goals for his Crewcut franchise is to keep up with the work he needs to do. Although he has someone who helps him out full time, his daily grind can be quite full on. He says he doesn’t necessarily need more work because his hands are pretty full at the moment. It’s probably because he gets along well with customers and he’s such a people person that new clients keep coming constantly.
