About Us
Jamison Lawn Care was founded in December 2015 by Tom and Melanie Eckhardt.
Jamison Lawn Care was founded in December 2015 in Jamison, Pennsylvania, after years of dreaming, brainstorming, and trying different business ideas together. An important part of that journey began earlier, in 2014, when Melanie’s father passed away. During that time, Tom and Melanie stepped in to care for her mother’s property. What started as responsibility became something more meaningful, a shared appreciation for the outdoors, for maintaining a home with intention, and for the sense of peace that comes from a well cared for landscape.
As their relationship grew, so did the idea of building a business together. That idea became reality when Melanie’s sister asked them to mow her lawn, and everything clicked. A love for working outdoors, Melanie’s passion for plants, and Tom’s interest in equipment and efficiency made lawn care and landscaping a natural fit.
From the beginning, the goal was to bring a higher level of professionalism to an often fragmented industry. That commitment became the foundation of our tagline, Excellence Is In Our Nature. Today, Jamison Lawn Care is a family led company focused on consistency, responsiveness, and thoughtful service, creating a smooth and dependable experience for every client we serve.

Our Story
Jamison Lawn Care began in the cold winter months of 2015 and the warm spring of 2016 in Jamison, Pennsylvania, with a simple belief: homeowners should feel confident about who is caring for their property. While Tom and Melanie both worked full time, Sundays were spent on job sites mowing, edging, cleaning beds, and walking properties carefully to make sure everything felt right before leaving. Those days were long, but they mattered. Trust was built one property at a time. By the end of that first season, Jamison Lawn Care proudly served 10 households.
An important part of this journey began even earlier. In 2014, Melanie’s father passed away, and Tom and Melanie stepped in to help care for her mother’s property. What started as a responsibility became something more meaningful. Through that experience, they developed a deeper appreciation for the outdoors, for maintaining a home with intention, and for the sense of peace that comes from a well-cared-for landscape.
As the company grew in 2017, so did our sense of responsibility. Hiring our first team members meant learning quickly what truly mattered. Consistency mattered more than speed. Communication mattered more than volume. We reinvested intentionally, ensuring our team had the right tools, support, and guidance to deliver quality work without rushing or cutting corners.
Family support played an important role in the early days. Tom’s mother helped spread the word by writing handwritten postcards, sharing the business with neighbors one note at a time. Melanie’s mother generously offered garage space on her property so equipment could be stored and the business could take shape. These quiet acts of support helped lay the foundation for Jamison Lawn Care and reinforced the importance of relationships and community.
In 2018, continued investment allowed us to work more efficiently while reducing physical strain on our team. These decisions were made with people in mind, both the professionals caring for the properties and the homeowners relying on us to show up prepared and attentive. That year also marked a personal milestone as Tom and Melanie were married. In 2019, we relocated to a new home and business location and expanded our equipment to support continued growth.
The years that followed helped shape who we are today. 2020 brought unexpected growth during a challenging time. 2021 was dedicated to strategic planning and strengthening our foundation. In 2022, Tom and Melanie welcomed their daughter, Lily, and intentionally paused to focus on family. In 2023, we took a hard look at the future and the type of company we wanted Jamison Lawn Care to become. During 2024, we clarified our long term goals and brought on an industry-recommended business coach to support thoughtful planning and sustainable growth.
Becoming parents reinforced something we already believed. The work we do matters because it affects how people experience their homes. Jamison Lawn Care was built to be a long term, family led company, grounded in responsibility, consistency, and care.
Today, Jamison Lawn Care operates with thoughtful structure and hands on oversight. We still walk properties with the same care we did in those early years, because details matter when it is your home. Our systems support our team so they can focus on what matters most: clean lines, healthy plantings, clear communication, and reliable scheduling. Behind every visit is a team that understands the importance of being respectful, thorough, and dependable, especially when clients are not home.
In 2025, we established an expanded business location in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, and added dedicated customer service support to ensure clients always have a responsive, familiar point of contact.
We are grateful for the homeowners who trust us with their properties, for the team members who take pride in their work, and for the family and relationships that helped make this journey possible. It is a responsibility we value deeply.
