~We started The UpKeep Company because we saw something missing
in the way property care was being done — not just in service, but in stewardship. Most companies cut corners or cut for a check. We cut lawns, trim hedges, clean windows, and wash buildings — but more than that, we teach ownership. UpKeep isn't just about mowing grass or pressure washing driveways — it's about helping people reconnect with the land they live on. It’s about training crews to take pride in the details, and showing communities, that quality work doesn’t require a contract — it requires commitment. Every property we touch becomes a reflection of that philosophy, and every crew member we train carries that mission forward — not just to work harder but smarter, and to work with purpose. That’s why we started UpKeep, because care is more than a task. It’s a calling.
~That calling made us realize we could do better
better for our clients, yes — but also better for the crews, the neighborhoods, and the Earth beneath our boots. We saw that most service companies were built to extract: time, money, energy — with little given back. So, we flipped the model. We built UpKeep around ownership, equity, and pride, giving workers the ability to earn real commission, control their routes, and grow with the company. We eliminated long-term contracts and focused on bundled care — one crew to focus on you, year-round visits, and full service-So we kept it mobile, affordable, and community-first. Because this isn’t about scaling fast. It’s about scaling right. Property by property. Person by person. Cul-de-sac by cul-de-sac.
~Connection with the Earth isn’t just poetic
it’s practical, necessary. It sharpens your eye. It humbles your pace. It makes every trim, every wash, every pull of a weed feel like part of something sacred. At UpKeep, we don’t treat labor like a commodity — we treat it like a craft, and that starts with how we care for our people. We don’t need to preach about our culture. Our paychecks, our training, and our loyalty speak louder than any slogan. When a crew member feels seen, respected, and equipped, their work reflects that — in every lawn line, every clean pane of glass, every home or storefront left better than we found it. That’s what sets us apart: not just the quality of our service, but the energy we put into those who deliver it.
