About Us

About us.

Heads Up Outdoor Services is owned by Kevin Krenik, born and raised in Shakopee. It started at 15 with handwritten notes left on doors and lawns mowed after school. The first call came from one of those notes — and what began as a side hustle is now a full-time company.

Today we look after more than 70 lawn care clients and have completed over 30 landscape installations already this year, running one maintenance crew and one installation crew. We have grown enough to hire three full-time employees, and we are building the kind of company we would be proud to work for ourselves.

We are not trying to be the biggest company around. We would rather do great work and build a real relationship with every customer we take on.

Getting started

Simple to start. Steady all season.

  1. Step 01

    You reach out

    Send the 60-second quote or book a consultation — whichever fits. Either way, a person sees it, not a queue.

  2. Step 02

    We answer & organize

    We reply within one business hour, answer your questions, and put a written quote together — what's included, what's not, no surprises.

  3. Step 03

    We get you scheduled

    You'll know exactly when we're coming and what will happen. Then the same crew shows up, does the work, and cleans up like it never happened.

    You'll know exactly what triggers a visit. Driveway, walks, and steps cleared before you're up, then de-iced.

  4. Step 04

    We stay

    Mowing in June, cleanups in October, snow in January — one company all four seasons, with the Heads Up Promise behind every visit.
