Who you're hiring
A local team, not a call center
Jake founded the company in 2016 with one truck and one mower. Ten years later six crews leave the yard every morning, and he still runs the hardscape work on site himself.
We serve residential and commercial clients to the same standard. A single backyard in Elkhorn and an apartment complex in Columbus get the same crews and the same attention.

“Jake's Custom Lawn Care did an excellent job on replacing my collapsed retaining wall. They removed all the old material and put up a much bigger, better, long lasting retaining wall, with proper drainage and packing material. It looks fabulous! They even helped me finish putting up my wood fence.”
