a family

We are now an award-winning, multi-state landscaping company & Scag mower dealership with locations in Springfield, Illinois, and Cape Coral, Florida.

our mission
is to create:

luxurious everyday life for our clients through property transformations;

a redefinition of the industry through exceptionally high service standards;

and a positive culture for our employees that nurtures and facilitates growth without limits.

“The people I work with are some of the best people I know,” stated an employee in a 2021 anonymous satisfaction survey. “You take care of your employees and praise them,” said another.

“Everyone who works here matters; you aren’t just an anonymous face.” If you are ready to step into a new career with a fast-paced company and do work that matters within a positive work culture, apply online to join the Scooter’s team.
