Company
The idea for the Klausing Group was formed in 1992 by two teenage brothers on a mission to buy a car. They started with a lawnmower and some fliers promising that “we’ll cut class to cut your grass.” Eventually, they cut enough grass to buy the car. And they kept going. The company mission has since evolved, and Klausing Group has become an industry leader redefining what your landscaping should do for your business, your neighbors, and the environment.
