Meet Travio Ward of Austin

Today we’d like to introduce you to Travio Ward.

Hi Travio, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
After going through a rough patch in 2016, and saying goodbye to any football aspirations. It was time for self reflection and a truth moment about my next step and phase in life. So, on April 20, 2026, I took my last $400 and bought the bare essentials to get started and got my
DBA, to establish a business name and brand. My first year was a tough one with finding out I would be a father the following year, and my
Mother getting cancer. I made it through that year gracefully. The following year having my son and becoming a father, opened my eyes to what I would like to establish for not only myself but my family and my legacy. A man by the name Paul Huff, blessed me with a trailer and equipment, and that’s when things really took off for me. Hard work, perseverance, resilience, and grit got me through so much the rest of the way. Ultimately losing my mother in August 2020, taught me that hurt and pain can be used as fuel, and that you have to keep moving even in the eyes of adversity. Having TPG LAWN CARE, and in addition to now being 50% owner of ATG LANDSCAPING, based out of Ft. Worth as well, has been nothing but blessing with continued success. I definitely thank all clients, friends, family, and supporters for their unwavering support.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Learning how to be a father and be present in your business career. Mother getting cancer in 2016, and again in 2020, and losing her August 5, 2020. That was my best friend and undoubtedly the most amazing person I’ve ever known. I’m continuously living through her legacy while creating on of my own with my son.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
We specialize in commercial landscaping and lawn maintenance. Our attention to detail and reliability, and most of all our transparency and ability to properly commmunicate, is what sets us apart. I’m most proud of being able to help others in the community and employees provide for their families.

We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
I believe the biggest risk you’ll ever take is betting on yourself, because it’s something that isn’t taught in schools. The belief you have in yourself, will always outweigh the disbelief that others may have for you. I’m a risk taker in the sense of knowing the risk and choosing to pursue that dream. You have to be calculated and most of all do your research and study your craft, be personable, and most of all, move on integrity.
