14-year-old Treyvon Hoskins from Howell, Michigan, has been mowing neighbors’ lawns since the age of eight. By the time he was 10 years old, he had built a strong reputation in the community and even had his own business cards. His hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed, and during a City Council meeting on April 22, he was recognized and thanked for his exceptional work ethic.
Councilmember Nikolas Hertrich first noticed Hoskins mowing lawns in the summer of 2021 and was impressed by his professionalism at such a young age. He rallied the community to support Hoskins and his business, Treyvon’s Lawn Service, resulting in generous donations from various businesses and organizations in the area.
Hoskins uses social media to find customers and is dedicated to providing top-quality service to his clients. One example of his generosity is when he mowed a neighbor’s lawn free of charge while the neighbor was in the hospital. Now a freshman at Howell High School, Hoskins expressed his lifelong passion for landscaping and his dream of one day owning his own truck, trailer, and expanding his business with more employees.
During Monday’s City Council meeting, there was a five-minute recess for attendees to view Hoskins’ new Craftsman riding mower in the parking lot, showcasing the community’s appreciation for his hard work and dedication. Hoskins remains grateful for the support he has received and is excited to see where his landscaping business will take him in the future.
