About

My name is Jeff and I've been running Founders Lawn & Garden out of Carmel for 13 years. We specialize in residential work — no commercial, no shortcuts. I served in the Navy before getting into the trades, and that discipline shows up in our jobsite cleanliness. If you've ever felt rushed or upsold by a contractor, you'll notice the difference right away. Demo listing

Top-notch in every way. Jeff and they built us a beautiful flagstone walkway from the driveway to the patio.

Could not ask for better. Jeff set up an irrigation system with smart controller — water bill actually went down, and the whole crew picked up after themselves every single day. They also made sure our dog was comfortable around the crew, which we really appreciated. Ten out of ten — this is how it should be.

Best decision we made all year. Jeff and they designed and installed a paver patio with a fire pit area, and they sent us photos of the progress while we were at work. Will be using them for everything from now on.

Phenomenal. Jeff and they installed sod across the entire backyard after we replaced the deck, and they called the night before to confirm. Saved their number to favorites.

Truly above and beyond. Jeff and they rebuilt the retaining wall the previous owners had let collapse.

We're customers for life now. Jeff and they completely transformed our backyard the week before our daughter's grad party.

Best decision we made all year. Jeff and they installed sod across the entire backyard after we replaced the deck, and they stuck to the original quote with no surprise add-ons. If you're on the fence, just call them.

Really pleased with the result. Jeff and they completely transformed our backyard the week before our daughter's grad party, and they showed up exactly when they said they would. Highly recommend with one minor caveat — but no big deal.

Top-notch in every way. Jeff and they did a full spring cleanup and edged every bed crisply, and they made sure our dog was comfortable around the crew. Saved their number to favorites.

Job is finished and works fine, just not blown away. Jeff and the team ground out three big stumps and reseeded those spots beautifully, and they offered three different options at three different price points. We'd probably try them again, but get a couple other quotes first.

Hands down the easiest home-service decision we've made. Jeff set up an irrigation system with smart controller — water bill actually went down, and the whole crew sent us photos of the progress while we were at work. They also left the worksite cleaner than they found it, which we really appreciated. Ten out of ten — this is how it should be.

We're customers for life now. Jeff and they designed and installed a paver patio with a fire pit area, and they wore booties in the house without being asked. We've already recommended Jeff to two neighbors.

Job is finished and works fine, just not blown away. Jeff and the team redid all the foundation beds with proper drainage and fresh plantings, and they showed up exactly when they said they would. Fine for a basic job, not sure for anything complex.

Just outstanding work from start to finish. Jeff and they built us a beautiful flagstone walkway from the driveway to the patio, and they explained everything in plain English without talking down to us. We've already recommended Jeff to two neighbors.
