Our Journey

From Summer Job to Twin Cities' Trusted Lawn Care Company

Green Horizons team maintaining a beautiful lawn - serving Twin Cities since 1988

In 1988, what started as a simple summer job mowing lawns in Burnsville became something much bigger. With just a push mower and a passion for outdoor work, our founder discovered that great lawn care wasn't just about cutting grass—it was about building relationships with neighbors and taking pride in transforming outdoor spaces.

Through dedication to quality service and genuine care for our customers, that small operation grew steadily. We invested in professional training, state-of-the-art equipment, and most importantly, in building a team that shared our values of excellence and integrity.

Today, we're proud to be a trusted Twin Cities lawn care provider, serving over 3,000 satisfied customers. But despite our growth, we've never forgotten those early days or the personal touch that made us successful. Every lawn we care for gets the same attention and expertise that built our reputation over 35 years.

What People Say About Us

Don't just take our word for it—hear from the customers we've been privileged to serve across the Twin Cities.

"I am happy that I found Green Horizons. They are very easy to schedule services with online. They respond quickly to my dethatching and aerating request. Their crew did a great job at a great price. My yard has never looked better, I highly recommend and will repeat in the future."

Dethatching & AeratingSeptember 2025

"Easy to work with. Our yard is looking much better. Great customer service. Crew was here for aeration and seed and Green Horizons was able to accommodate my last-minute request in the same visit to fill a hole left by a tree stump removal."

Patty Perfetti
Aeration & SeedingSeptember 2025

"I have had GH cut my grass weekly for several years. They arrive on the dot and once when rain was threatening they arrived 20 minutes early. They are quite quick, do an excellent job and leave no debris behind. I get a bit of a discount by prepaying for the season. A good value."

Linda Ferguson
Weekly Lawn MowingSeptember 2025

"Green Horizons arrived and went to work immediately. Introduced myself to Robert. These two guys grabbed their machines and completed my job in probably 45 minutes and also cleaned up all the thatch. Complete job was done in about 1½ hours. Excellent job done. Lawn looks great. Thanks Green Horizons. I would hire again!"

Elaine Morris
DethatchingMay 2025

"This is the first experience I have had with your company. So far, I am impressed. Efficient and clean. I do not want my gutter cables that are showing by the rain gutters to be trimmed or pulled—they are to be left in that position. I am looking forward to a great year with Green Horizons."

"Your two gentlemen arrived and did a great job. I let them know where our lot was in the back yard. They cleaned up everything after they were done. Job well done. They were done in a little over an hour. Thank you very much!"
