About Paradise Bay Lawns
Meet Gavin, the young entrepreneur behind your lawn.
Hard work, family support and a walk-behind mower. The story of how a neighborhood mowing route became Paradise Bay Lawns.
A young entrepreneur's journey
From a sidewalk mowing route to Paradise Bay Lawns
Gavin Konopka is a hardworking, driven young entrepreneur and athlete who runs Paradise Bay Lawns (formerly K6 Kutz) alongside school and sports.
He began mowing lawns at just 8 years old. At 14 he launched his first formal business, K6 Kutz, serving neighbors door to door by pushing his equipment down the sidewalks and streets of his community.
Today Gavin provides personalized lawn care in the Waterset community and across Apollo Beach with great attention to detail and pride in his work. He prefers the quality results of a walk-behind mower over speedier ride-on machines, a choice that shows in every stripe.
What drives him
Built on family, discipline and community
Family support
Growing up in an entrepreneurial family, Gavin learned the value of hard work early. His parents, Adam and Nikki Konopka, guide and encourage him in business and sports, and his grandmother is a key mentor.
Balancing sports & business
An accomplished athlete in baseball, track and field and more, Gavin juggles training and customers with remarkable dedication. In his free time he fishes, heads to the beach and stays active.
Financial responsibility
Gavin manages his earnings wisely and donates 10% of what the business makes to local and international causes he cares about.
