112. How I Built a $3M/Year Landscape Business

The UpFlip Podcast

They say if you can make it in NY, you can make it anywhere! Steve Griggs of Steve Griggs Design can attest to that fact. He’s a landscape architect who has worked all over the country, but primarily in NYC, tackling tough jobs no one else wants to do.

Steve’s company is one of the greatest, grossing over $3.5 million a year. He’s a best selling author who has been featured on Forbes, Grant Cardone, Bravo, and the Wall Street Journal and he’s here to give us the dirt on how to start a landscape business with almost no money. In his words, he doesn’t even own a shovel. INCREDIBLE GIVEAWAY! The one lucky winner will be announced on March 18th! 🚀🎁
