As we prepare to greet spring with open arms, now’s the time to get to work to ensure we have the picture-perfect lawn and landscape we’ve always dreamt of. An idyllic outdoor space perfect for events year-round like spring grill outs, summer pool parties, and fall bonfires, March is the best time to get a head start on your landscape transformation. Rather than jumping through several hoops to prepare your lawn for the year, consider heading to LawnValue, your one-stop shop, where you can get the outdoor space you’ve always wanted.
Before creating LawnValue, co-owners Dave Kmita and Todd Baker met while working together as Engineers in automotive engineering. They identified a gap in the market for a company that could simplify outdoor projects and maintenance by offering all-inclusive landscaping services, eliminating the need for customers to use multiple companies.
“We left our corporate jobs at the time because we saw a need for better customer focus, better technology, and just overall a better way of doing business quickly and efficiently in the outdoor service industry,” Dave Kmita says.
Thus, LawnValue was born. The company’s number one goal, ensuring its customers are happy, sets it apart. LawnValue is customer-service-first. Calls are always answered, emails are responded to, meetings are set up, quotes are sent out quickly, and their average turnaround time from customer approval to job completion is less than a week. It’s all possible with great communication and a strive to make customers happy, says Kmita.
“It’s always a rewarding process,” Todd Baker says. “Everyone is happy because they’re getting something new and exciting done, and you’re providing a value-add service to them rather than a reactive recovery service that we’ve been used to. Everything that we do has a happy ending, and everyone is excited about it.”
LawnValue offers every type of outdoor service you could dream of. From routine mowing and lawn maintenance, to elaborate landscapes, outdoor kitchens, pavilions, as well as irrigation and lighting installation/maintenance, and so much more! This makes it manageable for their clients to have a stress-free, gorgeous outdoor space without using multiple companies and consolidating to that one point of contact, LawnValue.
Thanks to this model and the app they’ve created for their clients, which allows them to set up a service at their fingertips, it’s safe to say that LawnValue ensures customer satisfaction. That, mixed with the speed that they get things done, sets them apart from the rest. The feedback that LawnValue routinely receives from customers that reach out to multiple companies for a bid is that LawnValue gets the customer meeting set up, quote out, and project completed before their competitors even get back to them with their bid.
“Anytime we go to a customer, they always want something different,” Dave explains. “It’s fun to work with the customers and hear what they want. They're all calling us, and they’re all happy because they get exactly what they wanted, so the customer interaction is great. We design it all, so seeing projects progress from the first customer interaction and hearing what they want, next from designing to approval, and then pulling the project all together, it is amazing to watch that process unfold.”
Within the five years the company has been open, Dave and Todd have accomplished a lot, ranging from small projects to over one million dollar commercial installations. Last year marked the first year that LawnValue was eligible for the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing businesses, and it is no surprise that the company placed #4 in Tennessee and #248 in the nation for all businesses.
“Seeing the expeditious increase in demand for our company and our capability to adapt and build a strong team has been really exciting for me,” Todd says.
LawnValue is continuing to grow and plans to start franchising. Last year, Dave and Todd opened a corporate location in Florida and hopes to start opening up franchises in the Southeast area this year.
As the company continues to expand and innovate, LawnValue remains dedicated to its promise of customer satisfaction. Whether you dream of a lush lawn, a stunning hardscape, or a tailored landscape design, LawnValue is ready to turn your vision into reality—one happy customer at a time.
