From Knocking on Doors to Building Elevate Lawns

By Abdi, Owner of Elevate Lawns

When I first picked up a rake and started knocking on doors, I wasn’t thinking about business plans, branding, or revenue goals. I just wanted to work, help people, and prove to myself that effort still matters.

That mindset is what built Elevate Lawns.

How It Started

I began landscaping at a young age, learning the basics by doing the work myself. Later, while working at Home Depot, I spent long days hauling mulch and talking with contractors who came through the store. I listened to their stories, asked questions, and paid attention to how real businesses were built.

Those conversations changed everything. They showed me that landscaping isn’t just physical labor. It’s craftsmanship, trust, consistency, and relationships.

Building Something Bigger

Elevate Lawns grew from simple neighborhood jobs into a full-service landscaping company serving homeowners across the Twin Cities. We focus on:

• Detailed weeding and bed reshaping

• Mulch installations done clean and precise

• Sod installation and planting

• Bush and shrub trimming

• Seasonal cleanups

• Full yard refreshes and transformations

We don’t rush jobs, and we don’t cut corners. Every property gets treated like it’s our own.

More Than Landscaping

For me, Elevate Lawns is about more than lawns. It’s about community. We show up to local events, help neighbors when they need it, and build real relationships with our clients. Many of our customers aren’t just customers anymore—they’re people who trust us year after year.

As a young business owner, I take pride in running a company built on hard work, honesty, and consistency. We communicate clearly, show up on time, and stand behind our work.

Looking Ahead

We’re continuing to grow, refine our systems, and raise the standard for what a local landscaping company should be. Whether it’s a small cleanup or a full outdoor transformation, our goal stays the same:

Do the job right. Treat people well. Leave every property better than we found it.

If you’re looking for a landscaping team that genuinely cares about your home and your neighborhood, Elevate Lawns is here to serve you.
