Get To Know Lawn and Limb Landscaping
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.”
But what started as a vision of building a widely-recognized name in landscape and tree service industry, instead evolved into one of those Minnesota phenomena
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. Their focus naturally narrowed to providing superior landscaping to the folks they know best, on the ground that nourished their own roots: Minnesota lakes country.
Since then, Lawn and Limb Landscaping has developed techniques that work well in the Otter Tail County area, and acquired the equipment needed to handle projects of almost any size. Ben and Lyle work hard to get to know their customers and understand their personal styles, tastes, budgets and intended use of their property, before developing a one-of-a-kind game plan to produce landscaping that looks great, functions well, and performs fantastically for years to come. According to Ben, “We are able to design, install and maintain just about any project you can dream up.”
Ben and Lyle have built a solid reputation for producing superb, high-performance landscaping through one-of-a-kind customer service. Their laid-back business style has been winning over customers, one-by-one, over the past 24 years.
