Since 2008, Mitchum Lawn has grown from a local lawn care company into an award-winning name built on hard work, strong values, and a commitment to the community it calls home.
For Mitchum Lawn, a well-kept property is only part of the job.
Behind every freshly cut lawn, carefully maintained landscape, and completed project is a philosophy that has guided the company since its beginning in 2008: work hard, treat people right, take pride in what you do, and never forget to be grateful for the opportunity.
Today, Mitchum Lawn serves homeowners, businesses, and HOAs throughout Columbus and Midland, Georgia, Phenix City and Smiths Station, Alabama, and surrounding communities. But as the company has grown, the principles behind it have remained remarkably simple.
At the center of those principles is an attitude of gratitude.
Growing the Right Way
Success in business rarely happens overnight.

Mitchum Lawn’s growth has been built over years of showing up, learning, improving, and earning the trust of customers one property at a time. That journey has shaped a company culture where character matters just as much as the quality of the finished work.
The company’s core values call on its team to be honest and trustworthy, take accountability for their actions, work together, take pride in the impact they make, and remain grateful along the way.
Those aren’t simply words meant for a wall.
They’re expectations for how the team approaches its customers, its work, and one another.
That mindset has helped Mitchum Lawn build something much bigger than a landscaping operation. It has helped create a reputation.
Investing in the People Behind the Work
One of the most telling parts of Mitchum Lawn’s philosophy is its investment in employees.
The company provides ongoing internal training and opportunities for continued education while working to create an environment where employees feel supported both on and off the job.
Mitchum Lawn invests in the people behind the work, building a team culture centered on continued growth, accountability, collaboration, and shared values.
It’s an approach rooted in a simple understanding: take care of your people, and they’ll be better equipped to take care of your customers.
That team-first mentality also means accountability. Employees are expected not only to hold themselves to the company’s standards but to encourage one another to live up to them.
As the company continues to grow, maintaining that culture is every bit as important as adding another truck, mower, customer, or property.
A Reputation Earned One Customer at a Time
The results speak loudly.
Mitchum Lawn has accumulated more than 500 Google reviews with a 4.9-star average, reflecting years of relationships with customers across the Chattahoochee Valley.
The community has taken notice in other ways as well.
After earning Bronze in the Landscaping category of the 2024 People’s Choice Awards of Columbus, Mitchum Lawn took home Gold in 2025 and again in 2026—a meaningful recognition for a company that has spent years building its reputation locally.
But awards and reviews are ultimately reflections of something harder to measure: trust.
Customers are inviting a company onto their property and expecting the job to be done correctly, consistently, and professionally. Mitchum Lawn has built its name by understanding the responsibility that comes with that trust.
More Than Lawns
Mitchum Lawn’s connection to the area extends beyond the properties it maintains.
The company remains active in the community through Christmas parades, giveaways, golf tournaments, and other local events. It’s another extension of the same philosophy that guides the business internally: appreciate the community that supports you and find ways to support it in return.
The Mitchum Lawn team showing up for the community it serves—an important part of a company philosophy built around gratitude, relationships, and giving back.
That community involvement matters because Mitchum Lawn isn’t serving some distant market.
This is home.
The lawns belong to neighbors. The businesses belong to fellow local entrepreneurs. The employees are members of the community. And the reputation being built is one the company intends to carry for years to come.
Keep Showing Up
There is something refreshingly straightforward about the Mitchum Lawn story.
Build a strong team. Be honest. Take accountability. Do quality work. Appreciate the opportunities you’re given. Keep showing up.
After more than 18 years in business, those fundamentals have helped transform Mitchum Lawn into one of the area’s most recognized lawn care and landscaping companies.
The equipment may have changed. The team has grown. The customer list has expanded. And the accolades have accumulated.
But the foundation remains the same.

For Mitchum Lawn, success isn’t just measured by how many properties the company maintains or how many awards hang on the wall. It’s measured by the people it develops, the customers who continue to trust its team, and the community it gets to serve.
And after all these years, they’re still approaching that opportunity with an attitude of gratitude.
