About Us
About Weisz Selection Outdoor Living Specialists
Starting at just six years old, founder Jason Weisz began mowing his grandfather’s lawn, learning the values of quality workmanship and meticulous attention to detail. These principles guided him as he grew his business, officially incorporating at 16 and managing a crew to maintain 175 yards weekly. With support from his family and a dedication that extended through his studies at the University of Texas at Dallas, Jason has expanded his company far beyond lawn maintenance. Today, Weisz Selection offers a broad range of outdoor services, demonstrating a legacy of excellence and innovation in every project.
