About the Troops Mowing Team

Meet Sam

Hi, my name is Sam, and I am one of the owners of Troops Mowing. I live in Round Rock, TX with my beautiful wife, our newborn son, and two dogs. When I was 21 years old, I decided to join the United States Army and spent just shy of six years in that capacity. Throughout that time, I acquired many characteristics that have molded me into who I am today. These same characteristics (discipline, leadership, professional development, attention to detail), propelled by God’s favor, have allowed me to build Troops Mowing into the best lawn mowing service in Hutto. Our main daily goal is to exceed customer expectations in all facets of our operations. We strive to make our customers feel a part of the family and are eager to continue building amazing professional relationships throughout Hutto, TX, and the surrounding areas!

Meet Dylan

My name is Dylan, I am Sam’s brother-in-law and co-owner of Troops Mowing. I joined Sam to build this company due to its vision of creating a company that will exceed customer expectations through service, communication, and relationship building. After being in the field of business for 10+ years, my goal was to help create and manage a team that I could be proud of. We have done that at Troops Mowing due to our amazing customers and our hard-working employees that provide lawn care services in Hutto, TX, and the surrounding areas. 

The Story Behind the Best Lawn Care Service in Hutto- Troops Mowing

Let's rewind to the start of 2020. Sam had just completed his military service and relocated with his then-fiancée to Dallas, TX, where she was completing her Master's Degree. Simultaneously, Sam was pursuing his career in sales. Once Sam’s wife graduated, she searched for jobs all over Texas and accepted a job offer in Austin, TX. At the same time, Sam was hired as a Sales Director at a start-up. He was responsible for establishing a sales system to grow the company alongside the founder. For extra cash, and because he loved lawn care, Sam decided to mow a few of his neighbor’s lawns. After a few months, Sam felt that God was calling him to a lawn care service full-time and officially incorporated Troops Mowing in December 2020. With only a 2011 Ford Focus, an electric-powered string trimmer, a broom, and the cheapest lawn mower he could find, Sam began a very bootstrapped lawn mowing service – Troops Mowing. 


The Partnership Began!

Re-investing as much of the revenue as he could, Sam spent the majority of 2021 upgrading his equipment. As a result, he FINALLY purchased a truck and worked tirelessly to support his family. Simultaneously, Dylan and his wife moved to Hutto, TX where Dylan was pursuing a career in packaging sales. In his free time, Dylan graciously helped Sam wherever help was needed to help wrap up the 2021 season. Both Dylan and Sam found out that they worked particularly well with each other and noticed that their strengths and weaknesses complement each other well. Therefore, at the beginning of 2022, Sam pitched Dylan on the idea of joining this journey with him allowing the company to grow into what is today. Since Dylan joined the company, with the help of two amazing employees Davey & Eddie we have successfully integrated two lawn mowing crews, a flower bed maintenance division, and a landscaping division, and are continuing to grow at a healthy pace.
