About Yardmaster

Our Story

Yardmaster was founded in 1971 by Kurt Kluznik with a straightforward mission: to provide commercial clients with dependable, high-quality landscape care they could count on. For more than two decades, the company grew steadily on that promise. In 1992, Bob Slingluff joined as a partner, bringing new energy and a shared commitment to raising the bar for commercial landscape services in the region.

The next major chapter came in 2025, when Yardmaster and Big Lakes Lawncare joined forces, expanding our reach, deepening our talent pool, and forming the foundation of the company you see today. From there, we've grown through strategic partnerships with other respected firms, including Good Guys Landscaping and Kunco Landscape, bringing together teams who share our values and our standard of excellence.

Today, Yardmaster operates from nine branch locations across Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Our growth has never been about getting bigger for its own sake; it's been about bringing the right people and capabilities together to serve our clients better, wherever they are. We are leaving a legacy of success and abundance with our team, our clients, and the communities we serve.

Our Brand Promise

  • Standard of Excellence
  • Consistent Quality
  • Proactive Communication

Our Commitment to the Communities We Serve

We're a multi-state company, but we operate like a local one. Each of our branches is staffed by people who know the region, understand its seasonal demands, and take pride in the properties they maintain. That local knowledge, combined with the resources and systems of a larger organization, is what allows us to deliver a consistent, reliable experience no matter where your properties are located.

Our work is about much more than keeping grass green or parking lots clear. We help create outdoor spaces that reflect well on your business, make residents feel at home, and contribute positively to the surrounding neighborhoods. We hold ourselves to a simple standard: we leave every person and every property better than we found them.
