Every Angle Covered relies on Mobil Delvac for the success of its custom construction business  

"I’m particular about the maintenance of my equipment and thoroughly researched my decision to use Mobil Delvac. Mobil Delvac is the high-quality product I depend on to keep my equipment in top running condition."
–Wayne Gardner, owner of Every Angle Covered in Scandia, Kan.

Wayne Gardner never turns down a job merely because he doesn’t have the required equipment. Instead, Gardner buys the equipment, finishes the project and adds a new angle to his company’s portfolio. “If you need it done, I figure out a way to make it happen,” Gardner said. He specializes in irrigation, landscape, hardscape and unique custom work using equipment that currently includes a trencher, backhoe, skid-steer loader, directional boring machine, diesel pick-up truck and dump truck. He’s a jack of all trades, and his business flourishes.

Q: How did you get started in the construction business?
Gardner: It was shortly after 9/11 and I was working full time for a communications company when I decided to put a sprinkler system in my yard. I bought a yard plow for the job and soon my friends, neighbors and family started hiring me to install sprinklers for them. I kept taking on new jobs while still working full time. As the requests became more complex, I began adding equipment to accommodate the jobs. I grew up on a farm and know how to operate and maintain just about any kind of equipment so it was a natural fit for me to expand into this business.

Q: What is your customer service philosophy? 
Gardner: I spend zero advertising dollars and my only other worker is my dad. Every customer gets my undivided attention and I depend on them to spread the good word about my business. I help clients think outside the box and, in turn, they let me guide them through the project. They get a job well done plus, because my overhead is low, I can give them a good price with extras they wouldn’t get from a larger company.

Q: How important is Mobil Delvac to your business?
Gardner: I’m particular about the maintenance of my equipment and thoroughly researched my decision to use Mobil Delvac. Mobil Delvac is the high-quality product I depend on to keep my equipment in top running condition.

Q: How do you “own your success?”
Gardner: I believe in quality control. If I say I’m going to be there, I will be there and finish the job no matter what. I don’t say no to anyone. If I don’t know how to do something, I find out. What I put in is what I get back. I’m always working, but it’s what I love to do. The best part of my work is the opportunity to spend time with my dad. I treasure every moment we are on a job together. That attitude doesn’t go unnoticed by my customers.
