Building a Future-Proof Business: Robotic Mowing in South Australia

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the world of robotic mowing, a service that’s slowly but surely changing how South Australians look after their lawns.

Sergei Konovalov, founder of Robotic Mowing, joins us to share how he took his decade of experience as a Husqvarna dealer in Eastern Europe and turned it into a growing business here in Adelaide. We talk through his journey from startup idea to launch, the real numbers behind getting a business like this off the ground, and why automation is more than just a tech trend, it’s a smarter way of doing business.

We cover:

• Sergei’s move from Europe to South Australia and what inspired him to start Robotic Mowing.
• What it really costs to launch a robotic mowing business.
• The market opportunity in SA for automated lawn care.
• How robotic mowing stacks up financially against traditional mowing services.
• How Sergei prices his jobs, from small homes to large public spaces.
• Managing business costs while scaling operations.
• Overcoming objections from customers who are hesitant about the technology.
• How to communicate cost savings on fuel, labour, and maintenance.
• The systems Sergei has put in place to streamline bookings, installs, and customer support.
• His vision for growing the business over the next few years.
