Tzvi (Jonathan) Pensak weed-wacker operating under the name, “The Lawn King.”. Little by little, house by house, with Hashem’s help, things took off. “The Lawn King” morphed into the more grown-up sounding initial name, TLK.

business
I am a hands-on business owner of a company that is small enough to give you personal attention, yet large enough to handle whatever landscape projects come our way. Our service is unmatched. The fact that a majority of our residential and commercial work is within close proximity, is to everyone’s benefit. We have the trucks, equipment and workforce to take care of your commercial property needs without relying on subcontractors, as do much of the industry. Anything else you’d like to share with our 10,000+ cover to cover readers? It’s really an honor to live in a community with so many wonderful people. I am grateful for and inspired by the opportunity of seeing the chesed that takes place in it, first-hand.

With what local organizations are you involved? I’ve been involved with many over the years, including Ahavas Yisrael, Chaverim and Menucha. Currently I’m actively involved in Hatzalah as an EMT responder. I also enjoy spearheading charitable causes which inspire others to increase their tzedaka-giving -- I recently started a whatsapp group with like minded individuals to help micro-charitable causes for people/families suffering in silence with no place to turn for help. Additionally, another group I’m working on forming, is a chomesh group. The group would consist of people who are willing to work towards giving 20% of their profits to tzedaka instead of 10% Maaser money.
