About Us
As a student at Shawnee Mission East in the mid 90’s, I started mowing my neighbor’s lawns with my dad’s little push mower. Business was booming and before long, I had saved up enough money to buy a truck, trailer, and mowers of my own. Life was good!
My high school job turned out to be a great college gig as well! I mowed lawns on the weekends all the way through college at KU. After graduating from the school of Business in 2000, I moved back to Kansas City.
For a few years after college, I played the drums in a local band. It worked out great; I mowed few lawns during the week and toured regionally on the weekends. That was fun!
After a couple years the band fizzled out and it was time to get serious. In 2003, Benjamin Lawn & Landscape was officially born. Since then, I have added services as well as hired a great staff. Now my wife Heather and I run the day-to-day operations of the business.
I have always been committed to providing friendly, hassle-free lawn care for busy folks and I feel very strongly about great customer service. I strive to make it painless and easy to set up your lawn care exactly the way you want it.
We are able to be very accommodating to the needs of our customers because we work within a very specific area of town. As a result, we can spend the day working, not driving! We drive up and down Nall Avenue, Mission Road, State Line, Ward Parkway, and Wornall every day so we can almost always fit you in, usually the same day.
Because we are almost always in your neighborhood already, we don’t get very backed up because of rain or other delays. If we have to skip your lawn because of rain, or because there are painters working at your house, or roofers, or whatever, it’s no problem for us to swing back by the following day to mow. Or if we typically mow your lawn on Fridays, but you are having a party on Thursday night; we can easily swing by on Thursday instead. All it takes is a simple phone call or e-mail and we’ll make it happen.
Communication with us is a breeze: Phone calls are answered whenever possible and always returned promptly. E-mails and texts are read immediately and returned ASAP. I learned long ago that having effective communication with customers is the key.
Heather and I have two beautiful daughters. We live in the Roeland Park area with our two dogs and three cats. We enjoy home and landscape projects and when we can get away, you’ll find us outdoors – hiking, camping, canoeing, and just relaxing.
