About Us
Where We Were
From humble beginnings, JZ Contracting was founded in 2001 with the original vision being excavation. An existing snowplow customer inquired about sweeping services to remove the gravel from his parking lot and we began doing business as Pro Sweep which quickly led to Pro Sweep Plus.
It was a natural evolution and the desire to accommodate the customer’s every need that led to mowing, shrub trimming, fertilizing, irrigation repair and pressure washing. Seal coat and striping were added not long afterward. In-house servicing enabled us to provide prompt attention with maximal regard to quality. Personnel were already on site, providing the first line of defense to additional needs of the client.
Our founder, Joe Baumgardner, developed yearly contracts specialized to the exact and individual needs of the client, allowing an a la carte maintenance plan specifically tailored to their needs and budget. We are convenient by design. Additional services are continuously added as the need arises. Personnel are encouraged to attend continuing education opportunities. Staff includes licensed pesticide applicators and certified arborists.
In 2015, a state of the art infrared asphalt truck was added to the myriad of services. The truck is a self contained asphalt repair system that conquers pot holes and asphalt repairs with ease. This year we added concrete lifting. This technology uses poly foam injection to lift settled concrete. At Pro Sweep Plus, we accept the challenge of any maintenance issue you encounter.

Where We Are Now
Joe and Traci Baumgardner started Pro Sweep in 2001 with a single sweeper truck. The business grew and expanded exponentially. Additional services such as mowing, fertilizing, irrigation, arboriculture, pressure washing, snowplowing, and asphalt repair enabled Pro Sweep to manage maintenance needs on commercial properties. In 2018, Pro Sweep Plus was sold to a family from Florida. However, in December 2019, Joe and Traci resumed ownership of the business. With new energy and excitement, many changes were implemented. The original logo was replaced with a fresh, modern look and a nod to the new direction of becoming PSP instead of Pro Sweep Plus. Current employees took on new positions. Zach Baumgardner moved into the Vice President position. As the son of the Baumgardner’s, Zach has been working in the business since he was 6! Becoming the vice president was a natural move for him. He knows the business as well as Joe. Two employees took on managerial roles and the footprint was expanded for new growth. The newest service addition is concrete lifting, which raises sunken concrete using poly foam injection. On February 5th, PSP acquired a new, huge warehouse with 7 acres of property. Massive growth is on the horizon! Stay tuned for more exciting changes and services during PSP Phase 2!
