As we celebrate dads everywhere this month, we can’t help but give a shout-out to the dad who built this business.

People often say not to mix family and business. Well, Carl’s Mower & Saw has always been a business that is about family. As a matter of fact, if you ask Carl Levien himself what he is most proud of, he will say, “my family.” All four of his boys grew up working in the business, and three of his sons, Carl G., Clayton and Josh, decided to make the family business their career.

Since the beginning, Carl’s Mower & Saw has been a business that strives to expand the meaning of family. When Carl and his wife Beth first opened the business back in 1990, his driving question was, “How can I do it better?” It wasn’t just about selling quality products though, it was also about building relationships with customers’ families that would span generations. It was making sure that people have both the physical tools and the knowledge-based tools to operate and maintain their power equipment. Core to Carl’s Mower’s philosophy is, “To provide the customer with as much product education as possible, to give them the resources they need to get their job done right.” Carl, his sons and his team go above and beyond for their customers, making sure new equipment comes assembled with gas and oil, the warranty is registered and the customer knows proper operational and maintenance protocol to extend the life of their investment.

Carl instilled the importance of a hard work ethic and relationship-driven principles, but another core value that he has passed on to his sons is something that his mom shared with him after he lost his father at a young age, and that is to never wait to do things– to make life a priority. With 3 sons working to build the family business, Carl has modeled the importance of balancing hard work with a sense of family and adventure. If you ask Josh, Carl G. or Clayton what they enjoy doing for fun, you’ll get myriad of answers centered around time with family, camping, traveling and spending time outdoors. 

Working hard, playing hard— but doing both as a family, is a formula that expands the longevity of this family-owned and operated business.
