In this episode of the OWNR OPS Podcast, I’m back with Jacob Neffendorf of Rise Online Ads / Land Clearing Growth to break down the best land clearing markets in the U.S., and why market selection matters, but doesn’t limit your ability to hit seven figures.

Jacob runs ads for 100+ land clearing companies nationwide, and we get into the real-world data behind:

• Top land clearing states

• Why the South dominates demand (climate, regrowth, terrain, year-round work)

• Search volume vs competition: how to judge a market before you commit

• The “2,500 searches / 10 competitors” framework (and the math behind predictable weekly jobs)

• Average ticket sizes (skid steer vs dedicated mulchers) + what drives bigger contracts

• The real costs of mobilization, and why job size matters (especially with big iron)

• When it actually makes sense to upgrade from skid steer mulching → dedicated machines

• New vs used equipment strategies from top operators (warranty, dealer support, downtime)

If you’re running a land clearing or forestry mulching business or thinking about starting one, this episode will help you pick smarter markets, price better, and scale without killing cash flow.

In this episode of the OWNR OPS Podcast, I’m sitting down with Tyler Mumford (StumpGuyTy) from Grind Time Stumps to break down what it really takes to win as a solo owner-operator in the stump grinding business.

Ty shares his real 2025 numbers, what changed from year one, and the #1 thing most guys get wrong: they buy the machine before they learn how to land jobs.

If you’re trying to start a stump grinding business, get more stump grinding leads, or build a simple blue-collar service business with strong cash flow, this is the playbook.

What you’ll learn:

✔️ How StumpGuyTy made $200K in 2025 running solo

✔️ The hardest part of stump grinding: landing jobs (not grinding stumps)

✔️ His contractor outreach system: cold texting → calling → referrals

✔️ Why he says: rent before you buy (prove demand first)

✔️ When to start saying NO to bad jobs (and make more per hour)

✔️ Contractor work vs direct customers (and how the mix shifts over time)

✔️ How referrals start compounding once you deliver a great experience

If you’re an owner-operator and you’re trying to get your next 10 jobs, this episode will give you the exact mindset + actions to move.
