Mow-N-Man Services

Our History

Outdoors Service Groups Inc. began its journey in 1981 as Schlueter Brothers Lawn Service, founded by brothers Scott and Stan Schlueter. Initially focused solely on residential lawn care in the Tri-County area of central Illinois, the company quickly gained recognition for its high-quality services and attention to detail. By specializing in meticulous lawn maintenance for affluent clients, including prominent figures from Caterpillar Tractor Co. and Edgewild subdivision's prominent business executives and physicians, they established a strong reputation for excellence.

Expanding Horizons

As the business flourished, Scott and Stan expanded their services to the commercial market in 1984. Their dedication to client satisfaction and exceptional work ethic led to partnerships with some of the Midwest's leading commercial property management companies, such as Becker Brothers Inc., Monge Property Management, NHS Property Management, 4-M Property Management, AT&T, and Methodist Medical Centers. This strategic move solidified their position as a reliable and trusted partner for both residential and commercial clients.

From One-Stop Shop to Specialty Divisions

By 1994, the company's growth had reached a significant milestone, becoming a nearly $1 million dollar industry. Realizing the benefits of specialized focus, Scott and Stan made the deliberate decision to restructure the company in 1995. Scott took the helm of the residential lawn care division, renaming it Schlueter Brothers Lawn Care, while Stan continued to manage the commercial ventures under Outdoors Service Groups Inc.

A Commitment to Quality and Specialization

This strategic restructuring allowed both divisions to flourish individually, catering to specific market needs with tailored expertise. Outdoors Service Groups Inc. evolved to include three distinct, yet complementary, divisions: Mow-N-Man Services, Schlueter Brothers Landscaping & Snow Removal, and GreenKeepers Fertilization Company.
