A brief transcript excerpt from the "We ranked on WHAT!? - Episode 098" YouTube podcast (May 16, 2025). Hosts Lee and Mike Andes open with informal banter about Lee's grooming goals, then announce that Augusta Lawn Care ranked in the top 100 for lawn & landscape. Mike reports system-wide revenue grew 77% last year and expects roughly 50% growth next year, and clarifies ranking qualification rules (at least 50% of revenue from residential maintenance).

That's my new thing. We'll start right there. Okay.
Yeah, we should have started recording 10 seconds ago. Declare your goals again for us. Barely.
Yeah. So this is, this is Lee's new corporate goals. A big corporate guy is I will get a haircut every two months at minimum and I will shave at least every week and a half. So this is a week and a half right here. This is what we were talking about before we hit record.
Had to get it on the record, you know.
Yeah, I need, in the comments, I need people to know there's a week and a half. Is this unprofessional facial hair? It's, it's start to, it's borderline. So I'm gonna shave. So tomorrow I, you know. Fresh cut coming in.
Oh man, I love it.
Well, anyways, welcome back. Another episode C Suite Unfiltered podcast. Now I wanted to start right off the top, some very exciting news. We're diving deep into the lawn care and landscaping industry with this one. We have officially been ranked Augusta Lawn Care in the top 100 for lawn and landscape. How do we feel about that, Mike?
I don't know. It, it's like first off, like huge shout to all the owners inside of Augusta Nation. Obviously this is their revenue numbers. This is not anything to do with me. So shout out to all of them. System wide revenue grew by 77% last year. I anticipate to probably grow at least 50% again this year. Like way we're at least we're trending like we're hoping for a lot less, but it's, it's like it's going to be really good. So yeah, like technically speaking, we are the largest residential mowing company in the US if you take out companies that don't do. This is the part I don't like to add. So eventually we got to get over this part. If, if you take out companies that do less than 50% of their revenue from maintenance. So there's another company that's 45% of their revenue is maintenance and the reason is because they did an acquisition of another company does maintenance. So like jump their revenue up and it was all maintenance when the past it just did spraying and design and commercial. I should say so. Yeah. So if you take out, if you have to have at least 50% of revenue coming from residential and 50 at least 50% from maintenance, then we are the largest in the country. But I hate putting all these asterisks next to it. So you got to grow quite a bit.
Yeah, the asterisks aren't overly helpful, but it is very exciting. Obviously, it's accomplishment in and of itself. Now, the top 100, is it just strictly based on revenue? It's just based on market.
