As Mainscape approaches its fifth decade of serving clients and communities, the company has finalized its long‑term ownership path. Mainscape, Inc. has begun a phased transition into the newly established Mainscape Jubilee Trust (MJT)—a perpetual purpose trust created to protect the company’s purpose, invest in its people, and ensure shared prosperity for generations to come. Over time, the MJT will become the permanent steward of the entire company.
Rooted in the company’s long‑standing purpose—‘Create a company that people think of as their own so they can control their destiny, have a great family life, and make a positive impact in their community’—the MJT makes this vision enduring. It reflects a long‑term commitment to reinvest profits, protect values, and create meaningful opportunities for every team member.
Why MJT Matters
The Trust is designed to hold and sustain Mainscape in perpetuity, ensuring the company’s values remain intact through future generations of leadership. Profits will serve Mainscape’s purpose by funding personal and professional growth, offering broad‑based profit sharing, and providing long‑term security through a structure intended to endure for generations. This initiative reflects Mainscape’s belief that strong families, meaningful careers, and reinvestment in people produce lasting impact in the communities the company serves.
A Model for the Industry
The MJT represents a new approach for landscaping companies seeking continuity without compromising culture. By prioritizing people and purpose, this model offers a long‑term ownership path for companies that want to remain independent while rewarding the employees who make success possible.
Grounded in Principles of Redemptive Capitalism
The Trust embodies a vision of business as a force for good—where profits serve people and purpose. It echoes the distributist ideal championed by G.K. Chesterton:
“Too much capitalism does not mean too many capitalists, but too few capitalists.”
By broadening economic participation, the MJT ensures that those who create value share in its rewards.
Founder’s Perspective
‘The MJT is more than a financial structure—it’s a living promise to our people and our future,’ said Dave Mazanowski, Founder of Mainscape. ‘Together, we will continue to create great landscaping experiences while building a company that feels like your own.’
