Our Story

C&L Outdoor Services was started by two teens — Lex and Chris — who saw a better way to serve their neighbors. It didn’t begin in an office or with some fancy business plan. It started in a coffee shop, with a conversation.

Lex grew up in a small town in Oregon. He’s always had that small-town hustle — the kind of person who’s not afraid of hard work and just wants to help people out. He first had the idea to start mowing lawns for some extra cash, simple as that.

Chris moved to Idaho at a young age and brought with him a deep love for business and systems. He’s built companies, managed operations, and created real results for other businesses. He saw what Lex started and helped turn it into more than just a knock-and-mow service — something sustainable, professional, and full of care.

Together, they built C&L Outdoor Services. It’s not just lawn care anymore — it’s landscaping, pressure washing, window cleaning, and snow removal. All year long. Built on the values of doing the job right, showing up on time, and treating your home like it matters — because it does.

We’re not a big company with call centers and polished sales scripts. We’re just two hardworking teens with a passion for helping people and doing honest work. Our model is simple: quality over money.

If you’re looking for a team that shows up, remembers your name, and gets it done right — we’d love to work with you.
