Hidden Gems: Meet Alex Turpin of E&W Landscaping LLC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Alex Turpin.

Hi Alex, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
E&W Landscaping LLC has roots that go back to 2010, when the business first began as Turpin Lawn Care. What started as a simple side job—just one mower, a few yards, and a commitment to doing things the right way—quickly grew into a steady, trusted local service. Every yard was an opportunity to build skill, build relationships, and build a reputation for quality.

Life evolved, too. In 2015, after getting married and starting a family, the vision for the business grew even stronger. With more responsibility, more motivation, and more pride in the work, the company continued to expand—adding more equipment, more services, and more customers who relied on dependable lawn care year after year.

In 2025, the business took on a new name with a deeper meaning: E&W Landscaping LLC. Named after Emmaline and Waylon, the initials represent more than just a brand—they stand for family, legacy, and the future the business is being built for. Every job completed and every property improved reflects the values behind their names: hard work, honesty, and care.

Today, E&W Landscaping LLC continues to grow while staying true to its roots. From mowing and maintenance to landscaping projects and seasonal services, the mission remains the same: provide reliable, high-quality work and treat every property as if it were our own.

E&W isn’t just a company—it’s a family story, built from the ground up, and still growing.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
    •    Started with almost no equipment and had to build everything from scratch.
    •    Balancing family life, marriage, and kids while working at a factory trying to grow the business.
    •    Rebranding from Turpin Lawn Care to E&W Landscaping and rebuilding the customer base.
    •    Dealing with weather, breakdowns, and long hard days in the heat.
    •    Competing with bigger companies while keeping quality and reliability high.
    •    Learning pricing, estimates, and the business side through trial and error.
    •    Pushing through physical exhaustion and long hours to provide for your family.
    •    Not luck — every obstacle overcome through hard work and God’s provision.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about E&W Landscaping LLC?
E&W Landscaping LLC is a locally owned and family-driven lawn and landscape company built on hard work, reliability, and a genuine commitment to quality.

Over the years, that simple beginning grew into a full service landscaping business built on trust, consistency, and relationships.

In 2015, life got busier—in the best way—with marriage and kids. In honor of that growing family, the business took on a new name in 2025: E&W Landscaping, proudly named after our children Emmaline and Waylon. Everything we do now reflects the same values we live at home—honesty, pride in our work, and treating every property as if it were our own.
