About Us
A letter from our founder, Nick Jaques.
It all started when I was 12. A neighbor down the street lost her husband at just 34 years old and she was limited to crutches due to having a leg amputated. So, my parents suggested I go down and see if she needs help (doing my good deed for the day, a habit I’ve had since I was in Boy Scouts). She hired me for that summer, then another elderly neighbor hired me as well that same summer. I grew my business from there, each summer, adding a few more clients. By the time I was in high school, I had 40-50 accounts. My dad had taught me how to drive a truck and trailer when I was 14, and I would help him with our weekend work/adventures. A skill that also got me a second job when I was 16 working for a small engine repair shop and dealership. I learned much more about equipment and repairs for my industry. Each year, I would grow my customer list a little more while I attended college at DMACC and then ISU. I was a full-time student and had a full-time year-round business. After graduating in the fall of 2010 from ISU, I looked to expand our business slowly so we could handle the demand. I purchased a company that was closing and took over their clients as well. That is when I realized I needed help. I hired a good friend of mine to help me with the work. From 2011 on, we have continued to add clients and our staff continues to grow.
I decided early on to never stop learning, so each year as our client list grows, our services expand as well. My ultimate goal with Jaques Lawn Care is to provide exceptional lawn care services to every client we meet. My team is held to a high standard and is deeply committed to continuous learning.
I look forward to meeting you and thank you for the opportunity to service your lawn and landscape.
