Bertie County, NC — Tayloe’s Lawn Care Services, LLC, a family-run business specializing in comprehensive lawn care and landscaping services, is challenging traditional roles in the industry. Co-founded by Deborah Tayloe and her husband Randy, this company stands out in a historically male-dominated field, championing women’s empowerment and advocating for entrepreneurial ventures in blue-collar industries.

Tayloe’s Lawn Care Services, LLC, offers a range of services, including lawn care, garden bed maintenance, and hedge trimming, all executed with meticulous attention to detail. Their commitment to treating every property with the same respect and care as their own sets them apart from the competition. Unlike many companies that prioritize quick fixes over quality, Tayloe’s emphasizes the importance of proper plant and lawn maintenance through continuous education and certification.

Deborah Tayloe holds a B.S.Ed. degree from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and has recently completed a certification in Water and Soil Management. Her husband Randy, a certified Custom Applicator by the NC Department of Agriculture, continually pursues additional training to stay ahead in the industry. This dedication to education ensures that Tayloe’s Lawn Care Services can tackle almost any plant or lawn care challenge, providing solutions rooted in scientific knowledge.

Deborah’s journey into the landscaping business was influenced by her extensive background in sales and marketing for Fortune 500 companies and her experience as an SEO copywriter in science-related fields. When Randy expressed his desire to pursue a career in landscaping, Deborah seized the opportunity to combine their skills and start a family business. Her marketing expertise played a crucial role in building the company’s brand and reputation, while Randy focused on the operational aspects.

Their collaboration has paid off, resulting in a successful business that not only provides stable income but also offers a fulfilling career path. Deborah’s message to women is clear: blue-collar industries and trades are not off-limits. She encourages women to take control of their futures by starting their own businesses, whether alone or with a partner.

Tayloe’s Lawn Care Services, LLC, is more than just a lawn care company. It is a testament to the power of determination, education, and the breaking of gender barriers. “Tayloe’s Lawn Care Services, LLC, realizes that the details that make a customer happy matter. Lots of people ‘cut grass;’ we take it a step beyond and ensure the turf we care for is well-detailed,” says Deborah Tayloe.

The small company’s unique approach and dedication to excellence have earned it a loyal customer base. The Tayloes’ unwavering commitment to their craft and their clients is reflected in every project they undertake.

As a majority shareholder and a driving force behind the business, Deborah serves as a role model for women in the industry. Her story demonstrates that with passion, education, and a willingness to take risks, women can succeed in any field they choose. By sharing her experience, she hopes to inspire others to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams and contribute to the growing presence of women in blue-collar industries.

Tayloe’s Lawn Care Services, LLC, continues to thrive, proving that a family business led by a determined woman can excel in a competitive market. For more information about their services, visit their website at Tayloe’s Lawn Care Services or follow them on Facebook and LinkedIn.
