Isaac Alan is a young Kenyon entrepreneur that I met through the Kenyon Farmer's Market. A naturally curious young lad, he visited me at my booth a few years ago and we began a friendship that has carried on through the years.
Isaac was 9 years old when we met. He was full of questions , and I have always enjoyed his forthright and candid conversations. One day he announced that he was starting his own lawn care business. I asked him how he came up with that idea, and he replied, "I was asked by my neighbor if I would mow his lawn, and I accepted. I realized other neighbors might need my services, so I knocked on some doors and got a few more customers. In time, that led to doing fall cleanup and brush cutting, and this year I will be adding snow removal. I really do most anything that is outdoor work, except things I have to be older for."
Well, Isaac is now 12 years old and has accumulated 9 lawn mowers and a few other yard machines to work with. Only 2 of them are running right now, but he is learning about small engine repair, and knowing Isaac, he will get them up and running eventually!
This year he met another lawn care specialist, Denny who has been doing lawn care for over 70 years now, and is ready to hand over a few customers to him next year. His business has grown for the past few years, and he expects that growth will continue as he gets referrals from satisfied customers.
Some of the services he offers are mowing, leaf blowing, lawn clean up, garden cleanup (yes, weeding!!) and light bush and shrub trimming for that manicured look. This year he is adding snow removal, using both a shovel and a blower. He offers per time charges, or you can ask him about his seasonal contracts to save you a bit of cash! Being a local member of the Kenyon community, he has a great work ethic, and he offers free estimates to all. He can be reached at (507) 491-7946, and guarantees affordable pricing and promises great results.
I asked him why people should hire him, and he said, "I will do what they don't want to or can't do for themselves. This gives them more time to enjoy the summer, they get quality service at a price that makes sense without cutting corners, and I promise to be on time, every time. You can count on me!" Clean yards, happy homes..... that's the Isaac Promise!
