Small but mighty

Gavin’s Lawncare and Landscaping is a small company serving a small market and thay want to keep it that way.


Without much advertising, Gavin’s Lawncare and Landscaping keeps growing steadily. But owner Gavin Yednock won’t let his company grow so big that it can’t effectively serve the small market around Streator, Illinois, which is 80 miles southwest of Chicago. 

Like many contractors, Yednock started cutting grass in his neighborhood around age 12. He ran this operation part-time all throughout school, mowing in the summer and using a small tractor and snow blower to plow driveways in winter.
