Aiden Fillator started Picture Perfect in seventh grade with his dad's support, clearing driveways with a shovel between classes. His reputation in Valley East grew so fast that a Facebook post to a local community group turned his 50 clients into 300 by his second season.

Growth meant investing in equipment he could trust. Kubota made sense; his dad had worked in their mining division and knew the quality firsthand. Now in twelfth grade with a fleet of tractors, Aiden hasn't lost sight of what matters: he still personally prices every job, serves a community that's 70% seniors, and delivers maple syrup gifts each Christmas.

Discover how Aiden turned a student-run business into a growing local operation.
