“We grew from a small, residential lawn cutting business to a full-service landscaping, maintenance, installation, and snow removal company for residential and commercial customers”
Tzvi Pensak was always fascinated by lawnmowers. When he was little, he often disappeared, but if we heard the sound of a lawnmower outside, we knew where to find him. When he was strong enough to push a mower at the age of 11, he used it — together with an electric weedwhacker that someone gave away — to mow a few lawns on the block. Word soon spread, and soon Tzvi was running a lawncare business.
“My business name was ‘The Lawn King,’” Tzvi says. “When my older brother Zev was 11, he found a broken lawn mower and fixed it himself. He started a lawn care business with that name, which I later adopted. But when I went to officially register the name many years later, I found out that ‘The Lawn King’ was already registered by another business, so I changed the name to ‘TLK Landscaping’ instead. TLK stands for The Lawn King.”
After graduating high school and going to learn in Eretz Yisrael, Tzvi continued to successfully manage his TLK employees from overseas. Today, Tzvi (now a husband and father) is the CEO of TLK Landscaping in Baltimore, MD. He has several employees, a fleet of trucks, and several pieces of specialized equipment to service hundreds of customers.
“We grew from a small, residential lawn cutting business to a full-service landscaping, maintenance, installation, and snow removal company for residential and commercial customers,” explains Tzvi. “Beautiful grass, flowers, privacy bushes, and trees make people want to spend more time outdoors and enjoy their properties.”
