About Us
Jamison Lawn Care was founded in December 2015 by Tom and Melanie Eckhardt.
Tom and Melanie always wanted to start a business. After we started dating, we would brainstorm ideas and try them out. It wasn’t until Melanie’s sister talked about hiring us to mow her lawn, that we finally decided on lawn care and landscaping. Our passion of the outdoors, Melanie’s passion for plants, and Tom’s passion for equipment all made lawn care and landscaping ideal to scratch all those passions.
We started the company with the goal to bring professionalism to the industry. We coined our tag line as “Excellence Is In Our Nature”. With the fragmented lawn care and landscaping industry, we wanted to bring a smooth, responsive, and satisfying experience for our customers.

Spring 2016 was our first year operating out of Jamison, PA. While Tom and Melanie both worked full time, they used their days off on Sunday to do all the work themselves. We ended that year with 10 customers!
We hired our first team members in 2017. Our customer list grew and we accomplished more work than before. We learned a lot this year and utilize those experiences even today to provide excellent service to our customers and provide a great job to our team. Using credit cards to their limits, we finally got some decent equipment and some used trucks. The success of 2017 told us that we had something different and exciting.
In 2018, we expanded again by purchasing a new pick up truck and dump truck. Both vehicles really expanded what we could do and allowed us to provide even better service! The vehicles also made our team’s quality of life better. Instead of scooping mulch off a trailer and then eventually scooping the extra back in, now we can just dump it right into wheelbarrows and save our backs. Tom and Melanie also got married in October of 2018 and in 2022 they became parents and welcomed their first born, Lily.
Since Lily was born, we took a look at Jamison Lawn Care and what it’s future holds. It was clear that Jamison Lawn Care had to be a legacy company not only for Lily to take over some day, but our potential grandchildren and future generations as well.
Fast forward to today in 2023, we are spending time looking to the future and perfecting our operations to expand even more next year. We are investigating more services and products to provide. Every single action in our business is being assessed, adjusted, and documented to provide the best customer experience that we can.
We have joined the National Association of Landscape Professionals and Snow and Ice Management Association in 2024. This associations help us become even better, provide us with training and education and guides us for best practices. Through the National Association of Landscape Professionals, we have been working with a business coach who is helping us to become the best landscaping and lawn care company in the area.
We thank our customers, our team members, and our business coach for the tremendous journey this has been and we look forward to the future with you all!
