What started as a teenager’s summer job turned into something much bigger. As a high school student, this future business owner began mowing lawns around his neighborhood to earn some extra money. He didn’t know it then, but he was planting the seeds of what would one day become a thriving lawn care and landscaping company.

When it came time for college, he headed off to business school—but he never stopped running his growing lawn business. Each summer, he hired friends to keep the mowers running while balancing classes and clients. What he soon realized was that while he was studying business in the classroom, he was also earning a real-world MBA in small business ownership—learning about finances, hiring and firing, expansion, bank loans, and insurance firsthand.

A Business That Grew Beyond Expectations

Fast forward more than a decade, and that once-small lawn mowing venture had grown into a large, profitable company with a full team of employees—and families—who depended on it. The business had become a true community fixture and a source of pride.

When he and his wife decided it was time to move out of state and start a new chapter, he wanted to be sure the business—and the people behind it—would continue to thrive. That’s when he turned to Patrick Bombardiere and the Transworld Business Advisors of Colorado team.

Passing the Torch

Patrick guided the seller through every step of the process—from valuation and marketing to identifying the right buyer who could appreciate the hard work, growth, and legacy behind the company. Before long, Patrick found a buyer who was ready to take the reins and continue building on what started as one teenager’s after-school hustle.

What began with one mower and a few lawns ended with a successful business sale—and a legacy that will keep growing for years to come.

Thanks to Patrick Bombardiere and the Transworld Colorado team, this business owner was able to move forward confidently, knowing the company he built from the ground up was in good hands.
