Cutting Edge Lawn Care

Cutting Edge Lawn Care originated in 1982. Todd Tindel, a freshman in a northwest Austin high school, started his business with a $25 garage sale lawn mower and grew his business throughout high school and college. In 1990, Todd graduated from Abilene Christian University with a BBA in business administration. With sales of $65,000 his senior year, Todd decided to stay with the business that had brought him this far.

In 1993, Todd developed the company pledge: Customers are first, ALWAYS. As word of the way Cutting Edge Lawn Care respects and treats customers spread, the business grew by leaps and bounds. Today, at the ripe old age of 43, Todd has more than 28 years of experience in the lawn care business. He manages a staff of 30 employees.

Todd quotes all work for customers, repairs sprinkler systems, repairs all company lawn equipment, and schedules the work of all crews. "So far, I've had a great time with the business and my family," Todd says. "I know I have been blessed, because I have been surrounded by so many wonderful people, family and customers."

Jerry Tindel came to Austin in 1962 and worked 17 years in the Christian publishing business. He later worked as a purchaser for the State and for a publishing and a printing firm. In 1994, Jerry asked Todd if he could join him in the lawn care business and started as the business manager for Cutting Edge. Jerry's experience was in marketing, production, purchasing, accounting, and computers. One of his first business decisions was to buy a PC and the lawn care software to facilitate the growth of Cutting Edge.  "Cutting Edge Lawn Care," said Jerry, "grew out of our family life, and out of our strong Christian faith. Our philosophy is to always give more than we get, and to conduct business by the golden rule. Read our Employee Policy and Procedures and see how we expect that same attitude among all of our employees. We are here to serve."
