A Dream Turned Reality
In the early months of 2018, owner Bret Starkey made a life long dream a reality. A simple business card offering snow removal sparked the creation of Star Lawn Care. Gaining a few neighbors to remove snow the small business began to grow. Winter turned to Spring and the mowing season was quickly arriving. The summer of 2018 saw multiple clients ranging from mowing, landscaping projects, yard waste removal, fertilizer plans, and aeration. The first year was a dream come true (even when I had to load my push mower into the trunk of my Ford Fusion to get it across town!).
Fast Forward to 2023
As we continue to grow, the goal remains the same, to provide professional quality and outstanding customer service to all of our clients. We treat each property like it's our own and want our client's to be satisfied with the quality of services provided.
