Small Business Spotlight: A Cut Above the Rest

For over 25 years, Bo's Outdoor Solutions has been a trusted name in full-service lawncare, landscaping, and snow removal, proudly serving the Story City and Roland communities. 

What started as a small lawn mowing venture in Story City quickly grew into a thriving business. Founder, Bo Ammerman, nurtured his passion for outdoor solutions while attending college, balancing his studies with his growing customer base. Even after graduating, he continued expanding the business while working another job, dedicating evenings and weekends to his craft. In 2016, Bo took a leap of faith, transitioning to full-time entrepreneurship - and he hasn't looked back since. 

From revitalizing lawns to designing stunning landscapes, Bo's team takes immense pride in bringing their customers' visions to life. For Bo, there is nothing more rewarding than working closely with clients and transforming their ideas into beautiful, lasting outdoor spaces. 

Bo has been a loyal customer of RSB for over 27 years. With their support, he has been able to invest in a shop, a home, and other key business assets. In Bo's words, "The customer service at RSB is second to none. Everyone on their team has been a joy to work with."
