TLC Lawn and Garden LLC

Spartan was born out of the dream to design the ultimate zero turn mower—a machine that would take rugged strength, comfort, and style to another level. In 2015, Robert and Becky Foster launched the first Spartan and took the mowing industry by storm. Just a few years later, Spartan Mowers and its sister companies under the Intimidator Group umbrella were acquired by The Toro Company (TTC), a global outdoor solutions provider headquartered in Bloomington, Minnesota. In 2024, Spartan merged brands with Intimidator UTV to carry mower and UTV lines. TTC has infused Spartan with assets to grow the brand—from engineering and operations to product development and sales support. Such innovation, however, is equally matched by a continual commitment to community. The Intimidator Group division of TTC is still headquartered in the small town of Batesville, Arkansas, and remains one of the major employers in the area. With a local workforce dedicated to the vision and the added resources of a worldwide corporation, Spartan Nation is destined for greatness.
