Our Story
Family Owned & Operated
Company History
Local Lawn Care & Landscaping was founded in 2011 by Joseph and Jess. Joseph “Joe” is an active part of every aspect of the business, including pushing a mower himself. Joe began by cutting grass for neighbors and other members of his local community. After seeing the potential in the lawn services industry Joe began passing out flyers & pushing his mower down the street to each customer’s house.
While Joe works with members of his crew on properties, Jess works closely with clients to help manage accounts, organize paperwork and contracts, provide customer service & other important office duties. As a team and couple, Joe and Jess had no idea how great Local Lawn Care & Landscaping would grow to be.

What Our Clients Have Said
I had Joe come out to quote for some yard work. The quote was extremely reasonable and Joe was able to see exactly what I wanted done and gave me suggestions for things I didn’t even think about. I will be switching all of my yard work to him after I saw his work (edging, mulching, general clean up). Thanks Joe!
I have had a great experience with Joe and his team- they did my lawn weekly last year. Joe had some useful ideas about things that would be helpful re the lawn. My experience was that his group was by far the most timely,organized, person I have ever had do my lawn care and I recommend him without reservation.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work on our yard this past summer. You did a fantastic job on our very large yard. We find it so overwhelming to do the spring clean-up since our yard is 3/4 acre with many trees. You were able to remove the bushes by the corner of the house and clean up that entire area as well as trim back the tree line along the side and back of the lot. It was definitely a big job and you were able to complete it in a couple of days. We are looking forward to having you back in the spring to be able to get everything cleaned up and ready for summer. Thanks again. You truly did a wonderful job!
Joe and his team at Local Lawn Care have truly taken the stress out of maintaining our yard. I enjoy doing some yard work myself, but as a busy mom that’s not always possible. It’s great to know that Joe is just a quick phone call away when things get out of hand or I just don’t have the time to do the work myself. He’s come up with some great solutions to help me keep our yard beautiful and low maintenance. His costs are very reasonable and he assures us a 100% satisfaction. I’ve never had to have him come back and redo something but he always stresses that he will if I am not completely satisfied.
