Building a Legacy: How Audrey’s Outdoor Services Thrives with Hard Work and Bobcat Equipment
Join the journey of Andrea and Benjamen Mohr as they grow Audrey’s Outdoor Services from a small landscaping business into a full-service outdoor enterprise. With a Bobcat® compact track loader, they deliver top-notch service while maintaining a small-town charm.
From Teenage Entrepreneur to Thriving Business Owner
For most 18-year-olds, life is about balancing school, social life, and planning for the future. But for Andrea Mohr, the future arrived early. While her peers were focused on college applications and weekend plans, Andrea was stepping into the world of business ownership. What started as a high school job in outdoor services quickly turned into an opportunity she couldn’t pass up—purchasing the very business she worked for. With a strong work ethic, a vision for success, and a determination to make it her own, Andrea launched Audrey’s Outdoor Services, naming it after her childhood nickname.
Over the last 15 years, Andrea and her husband, Benjamen, have grown not only their business but also their family, expanding their services beyond simple landscaping to become a full-service outdoor solutions provider. From lawn care and snow removal to septic installation, excavation, and trucking, Audrey’s Outdoor Services has become a trusted name in Shelby County, Indiana, and the surrounding areas. Their growth didn’t happen overnight—it was built on years of hard work, sacrifice, and smart business decisions, including the investment in Bobcat® compact equipment, which allows them to operate efficiently while maintaining the small-town, personal feel that their customers love.
Betting on Herself: A Leap of Faith in Business
Andrea’s journey into business ownership was anything but conventional. After working in outdoor services during high school, she faced a life-altering decision upon graduation—pursue a traditional career path or take a chance on running a business of her own. The choice wasn’t easy, especially while juggling college coursework, but Andrea saw an opportunity and bet on herself.
“I had to make a choice. The business was growing so much, and I was running myself thin,” Andrea recalls. “I decided to become self-employed and focus on growing my business. I put myself through college with a lot of hard work and savings, and I was ready to take it on full time.”
Her gamble paid off. While earning an associate’s degree in business, Andrea managed Audrey’s Outdoor Services, reinvesting profits into growth while steadily expanding the company’s reach. She wasn’t just earning a degree—she was building a future.
A Family and a Business Grown Together
As Andrea navigated the challenges of business ownership, she found an invaluable partner—both in life and in work. After completing her degree, she married Benjamen Mohr, who brought valuable excavation skills to the company. Together, they built not only a thriving business but also a family.
Over the years, Audrey’s Outdoor Services evolved from a small landscaping company into a multi-service operation, providing:\n- Landscaping and Lawn Care
Septic Installation and Maintenance
Snow Removal
Excavation and Trucking
With three young children, Andrea and Benjamen are motivated by more than just business success—they’re building a legacy of hard work and dedication to pass down to their family.
“My goal is to teach our kids that hard work pays off,” Andrea says. “Getting up each day and doing the difficult thing is worth it. We have been given wonderful opportunities from God and feel a great responsibility to fulfill those opportunities each day. We are blessed that we are able to work together to build a strong future for our children.”
The Right Equipment for Any Job
The nature of their work means emergencies happen often—whether it’s an urgent excavation project, a heavy snowfall requiring immediate clearing, or last-minute landscaping needs. Their team of ten employees must be prepared to respond quickly and efficiently.
To meet the demands of their growing business, the Mohrs invested in Bobcat equipment. After years of renting Bobcat machines, they decided to purchase a Bobcat compact track loader from their local dealer in Indianapolis. It quickly became an essential part of their operation.
“Our compact track loader is an excellent tool for us. We have attachments that enable us to use it differently from site to site, which is so important in our line of work. Our team loves it, and I can’t imagine our business without it.” – Andrea Mohr, Audrey’s Outdoor Services
With the versatility of Bobcat attachments, Andrea and Benjamen expanded their services without needing multiple pieces of heavy equipment. They added essential tools like:
Soil Conditioner – For preparing landscapes and smoothing uneven ground.
Various Loader Buckets – For hauling stone, dirt, and debris across job sites.
From grading and excavation to hauling and snow removal, their Bobcat compact track loader allows them to work faster, smarter, and more efficiently, helping them provide excellent service while keeping costs manageable.
Looking Ahead: Growth Without Losing Their Roots
Even with their incredible growth, Andrea and Benjamen remain committed to maintaining the small-town, customer-focused approach that has been the heart of their business from day one.
Looking to the future, they plan to continue expanding their services while ensuring each customer receives the same level of care and attention that built their reputation. They also hope to inspire the next generation—teaching their children that hard work, dedication, and smart decision-making can create endless opportunities.
Because of the Mohrs’ intention, integrity, and dedication, every customer who works with Audrey’s Outdoor Services knows they are not just hiring a company; they are working with a family that truly cares.
