Jimmy Marra’s Journey from FedEx Nights to Hardscape Days

In Episode 27 of The Mack & G Show, we sit down with Jimmy Marra—founder of JMarra Hardscapes and full-time FedEx driver—who’s juggling a booming backyard business, fatherhood, and life in the suburbs.

We dive into Jimmy’s journey from basic landscaping to launching his own hardscaping company. He shares the chaos of raising four sports-crazed kids, balancing side hustles with a demanding day job, and the DIY spirit that led him to install fiberglass pools and build outdoor kitchens. Along the way, we get into neighborhood beefs, tricky customers, lawn care tips, and how his dad inspired his work ethic.

Highlights include:

 • How Jimmy launched JMarra Hardscapes
 • Balancing FedEx work with his own business
 • Raising 4 kids in youth sports chaos
 • Installing fiberglass pools & outdoor kitchens
 • Crazy customer stories & neighborhood disputes
 • Lawn care tips for beginners
 • Fatherhood lessons and dad frustrations

Whether you’re a suburban dad, backyard project junkie, or just love hearing how regular guys grind and grow—this one’s for you.
