Leadership

Peter Teed

CEO/Sales

Peter began his career in lawn care at 18 when he joined a National Lawn Fertilizer Corporation as a lawn service technician. He began learning the science of lawn care from a co-worker with an Agronomy degree and never looked back, getting hands-on experience of different types of soil, grass and the proper applications for both. But Peter’s true calling is working with people – meeting and speaking with clients and was #1 salesman in the country for 7 years before starting his own business with Christopher Brown. Today he serves in a more managerial position but still maintains his connection to the lawn care operations and interfacing with clients. When he’s not in the office or out seeing customers, his favorite place to be is relaxing on his boat.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do your prices compare?

The unavoidable fact in this business is that you get what you pay for. To hire the best employees we have to pay the best wages. The best fertilizers and seed also cost more than the regular stuff. For these reasons, our prices do tend to be higher than our competitors. We’re happy to perform a free evaluation of your property to show you what a program for your lawn would cost. Then you will be able to decide whether or not a “Teed & Brown Lawn” is within your budget.

What differentiates you from the competition?

Our tagline “Lawn Care for Distinctive Homes” described our business long before we started using it. We provide a higher level of service to people who truly take pride in their home and their lawn. We use the finest products available, hire the best employees, and spare no efforts in trying to make every single lawn a showpiece. It’s true that many firms will make these claims, but we actually deliver. In a recent survey of our clients, the question was asked “What does TEED & BROWN do worse than the competition?” Over 70% of those asked could not think of a single complaint.

Do you mow or rake lawns?

No. We specialize in fertilizer applications and in controlling weeds and insect problems. As our services require a significant level of expertise, we have decided to focus solely on providing those services. There are many competent, reputable landscapers who will be able to provide the other services for you. We work closely with many of them, so if you need a referral, just let us know.

Are your products all organic?

In short, no. This should not be construed to mean that we are environmentally unfriendly however. Organic fertilizers have many benefits, but cannot provide your lawn with protection from crabgrass, broadleaf weeds, and insects.
