Roy Mejia owns Roy’s Lawn Care in Wenatchee, Washington. He’s 28 years old and operates a company that employs six people. Five days a week, sometimes six, his three mowing crews maintain more than 80 accounts, many of which are HOAs. In addition to mowing, they prune, do cleanups, fertilize and apply weed control, offer enhancements like seasonal color, dethatch and aerate in the spring, and plow snow in the winter.

This month's Walker User of the Month is David Bartlett. He owns and operates Bartlett Lawnworks in Bottineau North Dakota, which he started in 2013 at the age of 13 years.

We wanted to create a service so when people come up to their cabins, or have work off for the weekends, they don't have to think about mowing their lawns."
