In 1994 Ben Jenson, then from Minnesota, approached Dr. Johan Gervais, at the time director of the Innovative Business Accelerator in Round Rock, Texas, to bring his patented invention to market. Originally called the ‘Water Weeder’, the name of this unique electrical boat-mounted underwater weed cutter was soon changed to the ‘Jenson Lake Mower™’.

In 1996 the design was modified to offer a standard drive shaft of 4’ and optional shaft extenders of either 2’ or 4’ to cut deeper, and the business was moved to the current San Marcos, TX location. In 1999 a stronger motor option was added to cut through tougher weeds. By 2007 the addition of the boat-mounted Jenson Rake™ completed the current line of products.
