Tim Mundy, Owner/President

Since establishing My Lawn in 1979, Tim Mundy has taken his company from a small part-time operation to a leader in the green industry in the Dayton and surrounding areas.

Upon graduating from Shawnee High School in Springfield, Ohio and obtaining a degree in Respiratory Therapy from Sinclair Community College, Tim chose to follow in his family’s footsteps and go into business for himself.

Raised by Mary and Ed Mundy, Tim learned early on the importance of hard work. Mary was a home maker taking care of three boys and Ed was the Plant Manager for International Harvester running an electric business on nights and weekends. Tim often helped his dad wire houses and also helped out at his Uncle Gar’s grocery store, Mundy’s Market.

It was while attending college that Tim started doing landscape work in the Kettering and Oakwood areas under "Mundy's Lawn & Exteriors". To further his education, Tim enrolled in a business program at Sinclair that allowed him to co-op at Leisure Lawn. It was there that he gained first hand knowledge of the green industry and business operation. Taking his landscape business full-time, Tim began using the slogan, "I'll make you proud to say that's My Lawn" thus changing the name of the company to My Lawn.

Today, My Lawn has two locations and employs approximately 40 people. Tim credits his family for his strong work ethic and drive for success, southern values that he hopes to instill in his daughters, Taylor and Tristen.
