In this episode, Eli Hall, owner of AMS Landscaping, discusses how he seeded the growth trajectory of his landscaping business and maintained a passion for the company for more than 20 years.
When he took the company over from his grandfather, it was a one-man operation. Today, Eli has grown it into a million-dollar landscaping business. He talks about how he’s learned to get out of his own way, delegate the necessary tasks to get the job done, and utilize technology to create a better customer experience.
