New lawn and tree service a family business

Johnny Bents grew up near Bigelow on a farm and spent a lot of time working with his family, something he hopes to replicate with his new lawn care company, Bents Lawn and Tree Service.

I was a farm kid and I didnt realize what I had, Bents said.

His main helpers are his two young sons, but his oldest daughter pitches in too.

My goal is a family business, Bents said. We just enjoy working together.

Cutting trees is something Bents grew up doing, and hes picked up equipment for the business here and there.

The acreage Bents bought near Jackson seven years ago had enormous cottonwood trees he wanted to fell, so he bought a large saw. Then he acquired a boom truck for a reasonable price at a sale.

In addition to cutting trees, Bents Lawn and Tree Service also services lawns, including mowing and raking. Bents is interested in doing residential snow removal as well. The business covers roughly a 40-mile radius around Jackson.

Bents also works full time at AGCO.
