Our story

It started with a janitor, a lawn mower, and a good word.

Fifteen years ago, a janitor was walking through an office building when she heard one of her employers ask if she knew anyone who mowed grass. She spoke up right away.

“I do. My son mows grass.”

That son was Nathan Dawson, and those mowing jobs laid the foundation for Trusted Service Solutions. He mowed for a few families, and later around radio towers, work that helped support his education, his marriage, and a growing family over the next fifteen years. His priorities shifted from bachelor pursuits to chasing babies, but one thing stayed constant: time in the field.

That time opened his eyes to endless possibilities and made way for growth across multiple states and several disciplines. Hard work and a heart for others still drive Nathan today, and the company he built is passionate about serving others with excellence, reliability, and integrity.

Our values

Four values we hold ourselves to.

01

Faithful steward

We are committed to protecting and preserving this beautiful land and its resources for the benefit of all its people. We walk in faith everywhere and always.

Scripture

“Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”1 Corinthians 4:2

02

Family first

We thrive on making sure the people we hold near and dear are well taken care of. They are at the top of our priority list, and it must always be this way.

Scripture

“But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”1 Timothy 5:8

03

Professional and efficient

We take pride in our experience and skillful nature. We work with speed and accuracy to deliver excellence on a daily basis.

Scripture

“For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.”Colossians 1:29

04

“Garra”: fight for every inch

For years we have run on this value. In Spanish, “garra” means claw. We always have and always will claw our way to success, with God’s help, no matter what.

Scripture

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”2 Timothy 4:7
