How do you validate demand, buy heavy equipment, and scale a land clearing business profitably?


In this episode, Austin Gray talks with Alex Boyd, founder of Brushworks Services Co., about starting and growing a land clearing business from scratch.


Alex shares:


  • Why he invested $90K into a skid steer and mulcher

  • The keyword research that revealed untapped demand

  • Mistakes he made on pricing and financing (and how he fixed them)

  • How grapple attachments add nearly 100% profit margin

  • The real cost of maintenance, warranties, and downtime

  • Why he runs Facebook video ads with a local-first strategy

  • How he integrates Jobber, HouseCall Pro, and GoHighLevel into his workflow

  • The surprising snow plowing side hustle at $375/hr per skid steer

If you’re an entrepreneur looking at excavation, forestry mulching, or other heavy equipment businesses, this episode is a must-listen.
