HLM’s story began with the Hillenmeyer family as a small nursery and grew across generations as the company expanded its services and expertise. Over time, it developed a strong reputation in commercial landscape maintenance and became a trusted provider of turf maintenance for Kentucky’s renowned equine farms. Today, HLM combines generations of experience with modern tools, proven processes and a forward-looking approach to landscape care.
Based in Lexington, HLM serves Central Kentucky and the surrounding region. Its team brings a deep understanding of the area’s climate, growing conditions and the distinctive attributes that make its commercial properties and equine farms unique.
The company provides comprehensive outdoor solutions like commercial landscape maintenance, landscape design and installation, and snow and ice management. HLM is most known for its exceptional equine farm maintenance: full-service care designed to help Central Kentucky’s horse farms remain beautiful, functional, and professionally maintained.
HLM’s core values of integrity, professionalism, teamwork, accountability and adaptability guide every action and decision the company makes. Setting HLM apart from other landscape service providers is its commitment to creating opportunities for employee growth, cultivating lasting client relationships and building on its foundational traditions in a sustainable way for years to come.
In 2019, HLM joined the HeartLand family, gaining access to expanded resources, shared best practices and additional operational support while maintaining the local culture and identity that made the company successful. With HeartLand’s support, HLM continues to provide innovative solutions and exceptional services as a premier Kentucky landscaping company.
Though its name and services have evolved over the decades, HLM’s focus and impact remain the same: building strong relationships, caring for people and delivering outdoor solutions clients can trust.
