Ben joined Crewcut in March 2025, bringing with him a strong work ethic and a passion maintaining beautiful outdoor spaces. Before making the leap into lawn mowing, he worked as a delivery and truck driver, but his love for lawn care started much earlier. From a young age, mowing lawns and maintaining the garden was part of his routine, a responsibility he took on while his father was away on military deployment or training. The satisfaction of seeing a freshly cut lawn has always been rewarding, and now, he’s turned that passion into a business. 

It was a conversation with Steven from Crewcut Rodney that convinced Ben to take the next step. Hearing firsthand about the flexibility, fitness benefits, and financial stability that came with running a Crewcut franchise, he saw the opportunity to build something for himself. The strong support system and ongoing training available made the decision even easier. Now, Ben is not only working for himself but also creating memories with his young sons, who are eager to learn the craft just as he did with his father. 

Ben is dedicated to growing his business, with a goal of gaining 100+ customers in the next two years. He hopes to expand into larger properties, commercial mowing, and ride-on mower contracts in the future. While he’ll be operating solo to begin with, his nephew may lend a hand from time to time. 

What sets Ben apart is his strong attention to detail and his commitment to reliability and customer relationships. He takes pride in delivering top-quality results and ensuring that his clients’ properties always look their best. Since joining Crewcut, he has realised how life-changing the opportunity can be and the value of having a strong support system in the industry. 

When he’s not working, Ben enjoys spending time with his family and two sons, getting outdoors, watching combat sports and relaxing with movies and TV series. His advice to newcomers in the business is simple: be willing to learn, stay positive, trust the process. While it may feel overwhelming at time, Crewcut provides the support and guidance needed to succeed. Taking a chance on yourself can lead to great rewards.
