Our Story

Simple as it may seem, the Mom's name refers to a philosophy-a belief we hold that people matter. Founder Jim Sweeney grew up in a home with eight siblings. He recalls the one thing rising above the chaos was his mom's unwavering care and strength. In her presence, he remembers always a listening ear, a devoted problem solver, and a champion for his spirit. In 1993, Jim founded Mom's Landscaping with those qualities in mind. He set out to build a company that would be a champion for the human spirit. A company who would embody a relentless desire to serve others. By building and maintaining relationships, Mom's Landscaping grew from a couple guys with a lawn mower into the most award-winning design/build firm in the Twin Cities.

Our Team

Jim Sweeney and his business partner Craig Weckman have over three decades of experience in design and construction. Their vast knowledge in the industry and progressive vision have a proven track record. Jim and Craig credit their success to the talented, professional, and service-focused team at Mom's whose skill and artistry are lived out every day.
