An obsession with being the best lawn care company in Canada

February 6, 2024 Agriculture, Environment, General 0:21:27

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.

Devenir le seul joueur majeur dans le terreautage et l’ensemencement dans la province de QuĂ©bec

March 7, 2023 Agriculture, Environment 00:34:25

Entrepreneur depuis plus de 18 ans, Philippe Goulet est visionnaire et polyvalent. Soucieux du travail bien fait et des chiffres, c’est un homme d’action qui aime ĂȘtre au cƓur des dĂ©cisions.

Co-fondateur du Boucan Boucherie et Traiteur, il a occupé le poste de président de 2017 à 2022 avant de vendre ses actions pour se consacrer à son entreprise en pleine expansion, Biotero.

L’idĂ©e de l’entreprise Biotero a germĂ© dans son esprit alors qu’il Ă©tait propriĂ©taire d’une entreprise de paysagement et d’entretien extĂ©rieur Ă  Lac-Beauport.

Suite au moratoire interdisant les engrais et les pesticides prĂšs des bassins versants, ses clients lui demandaient une alternative pour leur pelouse. AprĂšs des recherches, il a dĂ©couvert ce procĂ©dĂ© bien connu en Europe et utilisĂ© sur les terrains de golf. En voulant l’appliquer, il a rĂ©alisĂ© que les coĂ»ts de production Ă©taient trĂšs Ă©levĂ©s donc trĂšs dispendieux pour le client. C’est ainsi qu’il a imaginĂ© la machinerie nĂ©cessaire pour le concept Biotero, le seul joueur majeur dans le domaine du terreautage et de l’ensemencement dans la province de QuĂ©bec

Sa plus grande force en affaires est la gestion de la production et le contrĂŽle des ressources. Pour lui, l’efficacitĂ© est primordiale. Sa meilleure qualitĂ© humaine est sans aucun doute son naturel communicatif. Il a rĂ©ussi Ă  se construire un Ă©norme rĂ©seau de gens d’affaires et d’intrants professionnels.

Les entrepreneurs sont l’épine dorsale de l’économie canadienne.
