OUR STORY
In 2009, Tyler Richardson started down the path of business ownership when he bought an old used pick-up truck, trailer, and a snow plow. It wasn’t long before that old pick up and snow plow couldn’t keep up with the demand of his new customer base. Tyler quickly learned that his quality of service and impeccable work ethic was attracting so much attention that he just couldn’t keep up with the demand. Ten years later, Distinctive Lawn and Landscape morphed into DLL Landscaping & Tree Service, carrying the same morals and mission Tyler started with only 10 years earlier. Most of DLL's new business is a result of our extremely satisfied clients referring us to their closest connections—proof that Tyler’s approach envisioned years ago is successful in creating satisfying, long lasting relationships.
Today, DLL is family-owned and locally operated in Columbus, Ohio. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured to protect both our team and our clients. We are highly responsive and prepared to tackle any project at the industry’s most competitive prices which allows us to continue to thrive.
