On this powerful and transparent episode, host Willie Rodriguez sits down with Alberti Ortiz, founder of Boca Landscape Designs, to explore how landscaping became more than just a business — it became a calling. From mowing lawns at age 13 for $4 an hour to becoming a creative visionary in landscape design, Alberti’s story is one of faith, surrender, and transformation.
Willie, who has been following Alberti’s journey on Instagram, dives deep into how Alberti overcame limiting beliefs, embraced mentorship, and transitioned from cutting 20 lawns a day to designing high-end, purpose-driven outdoor spaces. More than just building landscapes, Alberti is now helping people build from the inside out — emotionally, spiritually, and professionally.
You’ll hear how Alberti:
- Faced and overcame fear to launch his business in 2015
- Pivoted from lawn maintenance to luxury design
- Uses VIP 3D software to close 90% of his jobs
- Protects his creative work with contracts and boundaries
- Finds strength through faith, sobriety, and community
- Believes in divine connections and helping others grow
- Builds real relationships in an industry often driven by transaction
Alberti shares raw moments — from struggles with ego and trust to the turning point where prayer, mentorship, and serving others reshaped his life. His leadership style, rooted in humility and integrity, is reshaping how we define success in the green industry.
🌴 Plus: Willie gives a shoutout to PlantFinder.com and Betrock’s Essential Guide to Palms — a must-have resource! Come by the office, say hello, and you might leave with a book and a shirt!
Whether you’re a landscaper, designer, or entrepreneur, this episode reminds us: We walk by faith, not by sight. You’re not alone. There’s purpose in the pain, growth in surrender, and power in connection.
