In 1993, Ben Hovde started a small lawn care business called Lawn and Limb Landscaping. With just two used lawn mowers, a used pickup and the big dream of running a business, Ben recruited his father, Lyle, to join him in growing the small lawn care and landscaping company. As Ben likes to say, In 1996, my dad, Lyle, left his job with a major manufacturing firm to join forces with me in the hopes of expanding the business.
Within a few years, our business grew from doing just lawns, to helping our customers with their tree service needs, as well as their landscaping projects. What they learned from their clients is that too many landscapers over commit and underperform. As a result, the company goal changed from size to quality, and success went from being calculated in dollars to being measured by a genuine sense of satisfaction for a job well done.
Where other companies saw insurmountable problems, the guys at Lawn and Limb saw possibilities. Eventually, Lawn and Limb Landscaping sold the tree service portion of the business to concentrate on local landscaping, while still pruning and trimming small trees and shrubs.
