Lawn & Landscape Announces Recent Sweepstakes winners

These landscape contractors are recent winners in Lawn & Landscape's monthly sweepstakes, which means they each have one more tool to allow them to do business more effictively. 

Ron Vegter wins a Turf Tracker Time Machine

Ron Vegter, owner of Green and Clean Lawn Services in Morrison, Ill. Green and Clean is mainly a lawn care service, so his new C&S Turf Tracker Time Machine is a helpful tool of his trade.

Vegter’s father started the company 26 years ago, and he bought into it five years ago. The service mix is 75 percent residential and the company covers a 50-mile radius.

Vegter has six employees to help with this territory, and usually they all go on the jobs together.

The crew keeps busy because the company recently added rite-of-way spraying to its list of services.

Phillip Andrews is the new owner of QCLIP Software

Phillip Andrews, owner of LawnMan Lawn Care in Clear Spring, Md., is supposed to be retired. But now that he and his wife have their own mowing and bed maintenance service, he feels like he’s full-time again.

Andrews spent 28 years as a Maryland State Trooper. When he retired, he needed something to do, so he started the business three years ago. It has become quite a full-time job. He expects to triple his revenue this year.

Andrews attributes his success to advertising in the yellow pages and his local newspaper.

His clients are 80 percent residential. To manage the accounts, he uses Quickbooks software and says QCLIP will probably help him to enhance his capabilities.
