While our equipment, team, and capabilities continue to expand, we haven't forgotten where we started.
We're proud to remain a locally owned and operated company where relationships matter, quality comes first, and no customer is just another number.

About.
Our Goal.
Young's Landscaping was founded in 2020 with a simple goal: work hard, provide quality service, and build something that would continue to grow. What started with mowing lawns and spreading mulch has grown into a company offering landscaping, hardscaping, property maintenance, and now expanding excavation services.
As our company grows, we continue to reinvest in our employees, equipment, and capabilities to better serve our customers. With a hardworking and motivated team, we're constantly learning, adapting, and taking on new challenges. Whether we're creating a beautiful outdoor living space, maintaining a commercial property, installing drainage, or completing an excavation project, our commitment to quality remains the same.
Our goal isn't simply to become a bigger company. It's to become a better company.
We want every customer to experience not only quality workmanship but also dependable communication, honesty, and the personal attention that comes with working with a locally owned business. No matter how much we grow, we never want to lose the values and relationships that helped us get started.
Giving back to the community that has supported us since day one is just as important as growing our business. We hope to continue investing our time, resources, and efforts into making our community a better place.
Above all, our goal is to build a company that our employees are proud to be part of, our customers are proud to recommend, and our community can depend on for years to come.
Growing our capabilities. Staying true to our roots. Bringing your vision to life.
Thank you for continuing to be part of our journey.
The Next Chapter: Growing Beyond Landscaping (2026)
As Young's Landscaping enters its sixth year in business, we're excited to begin another chapter of growth.
What started in 2020 with a borrowed mower and a handful of customers has grown into a company with dedicated crews, an expanding fleet of equipment, and the ability to take on projects we could have only dreamed of just a few years ago.
In 2026, we're taking another major step forward by expanding our excavation services. With the addition of our Kubota KX80 excavator, we're continuing to invest in the equipment and capabilities needed to tackle larger and more diverse projects throughout Northeast Indiana.
Our growing excavation services include demolition, drainage tile installation and repair, water line excavation, utility trenching, grading, and site preparation.
But this expansion doesn't mean we're leaving landscaping behind.
Landscaping is where our story began, and it will always remain an important part of who we are. Our maintenance, landscaping, and hardscaping teams will continue providing the quality workmanship and dependable service our customers have come to expect.
Our goal is simple: to become a company our community can rely on for more of its outdoor construction and property improvement needs, while maintaining the personal relationships and attention to detail that helped us get here.
Even as our company grows, we never want to lose the small-business values we started with. We believe in answering the phone, standing behind our work, taking pride in every project, and treating customers like neighbors rather than numbers.
None of this growth would have been possible without our employees, families, customers, and community members who believed in us from the very beginning.
From a 16-year-old with a borrowed mower to a growing landscaping and excavation company, we're proud of how far we've come — and even more excited about where we're headed.
Different equipment. Bigger opportunities. Same hometown values.
Thank you for being a part of our story.

The Story of Young’s Landscaping
As Young’s Landscaping closes out 2025, we look back with gratitude and pride at how far we’ve come in just a few short years. Our story began in 2020 with a 16-year-old kid, a borrowed mower, and a determination to work hard for anyone willing to give him a chance.
Where It All Started (2020)
In 2020, Ross began taking on small jobs for family, neighbors, and friends—often using his father’s mower, tractor, and tools. Without a driver’s license, he relied on supportive parents who believed in his ambition and allowed him to take the equipment wherever it needed to go. What started as a simple summer hustle quickly turned into something more.
Once Ross earned his license, he learned how expensive fuel and equipment could be. Determined to grow, he and a close friend spent countless hours distributing flyers across Huntington and Fort Wayne—if you lived in those areas, chances are one landed at your door.
That same year, Ross received an unexpected call from a retired Fort Wayne police officer looking to sell his small mowing business, equipment and all. After talking it through with his father—his accountant and biggest supporter—Ross took a leap of faith, borrowing money from his parents to purchase the little operation. It was a major step for a 16-year-old, but with family support and a relentless work ethic, he paid it off quickly and kept building.
2021 became the year Ross learned the fundamentals of landscaping: trimming, maintenance, installations, and how to stay afloat when the workload became overwhelming. He’s still grateful to every family member and friend who stepped in when he needed an extra pair of hands.
Taking Big Steps Forward (2022)
As 2022 approached, Ross invested in larger equipment and began seeing a steady increase in customers. Word of mouth spread faster than he ever imagined—so fast, in fact, that he convinced his concerned parents to let him graduate high school a year early to keep up with demand.
Ross worked every free moment: after school, weekends, holidays—whenever he could. With growth came the need for reliable help, and Ross hired his first full-time employee, Joe, who is now the Landscaping Project Manager. Together, they worked day and night handling every job they could manage. Joe played a major role in Young’s Landscaping’s growth that year.
Finding Direction & Expanding Services (2023)
After exploring electrical work during the winter of 2022, Ross realized his passion remained in landscaping. By spring 2023, the phone was ringing nonstop. Even with equipment setbacks—including a fire that forced the purchase of new machines—Ross and Joe kept pushing.
Demand was high, so Ross brought on Tyler, now the Mowing Foreman. With a solid team forming, Young’s Landscaping began shifting from a “high-school summer job” into a true business. Ross focused on delivering top-tier quality, unmatched attention to detail, and strong customer relationships—values still central to the company today.
2023 was also the year Young’s Landscaping entered the hardscaping world. Ross hired Nathaniel, and together they installed numerous small patios. Some early mistakes became valuable lessons, and the company is forever grateful to the customers who trusted them, allowed them to make things right, and helped shape the high standards they uphold now.
2023 became a defining year—one that strengthened the company’s identity and future.
A Year of Major Growth (2024)
In 2024, Young’s Landscaping expanded from three employees to five, with the additions of Brayden and Caleb—both strong assets to the team. Ross also made significant investments in new equipment, including a skid steer, mowers, an excavator, and additional trucks. These upgrades allowed the company to take on more complex projects and better serve a rapidly growing customer base.
Part-time team members, such as Kameron (now part of the ICE program for 2025), contributed to an incredibly productive season. Young’s Landscaping began to establish a presence throughout the community, becoming a familiar name known for quality work and dependable service.
From full landscape designs to retaining walls, patios, and new construction projects—2024 set a new standard for what the company could achieve.
A Breakout Year (2025)
2025 exceeded every expectation. With three full crews—maintenance, landscaping, and hardscaping—the company handled more work than ever before. The maintenance team ensured clients had some of the best-looking properties in town, while the landscaping and hardscaping crews delivered high-quality projects that showcased the company’s craftsmanship and commitment to excellence.
More equipment was added, more systems were developed, and more milestones were reached. Ross is incredibly proud of the team—young, hardworking, and determined to prove that age is only a number. Every project is completed with full effort, and every challenge is met with problem-solving and dedication to the customer’s needs.
Young’s Landscaping is deeply thankful for every customer, referral, review, shared Facebook post, and kind word that helped the business grow. Community support has been the backbone of this journey, and Ross looks forward to continuing to serve the area with integrity, quality, and passion.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As we move into 2026, we are excited for what’s ahead. Young’s Landscaping will continue to grow, improve, and deliver exceptional service to every customer—new and returning. With a dedicated team and a commitment to excellence, the future has never looked brighter.
