Green Group expands in Texas and Colorado
Lawn care services Green Group announced its expansion in Texas and its entry into Colorado with the additions of Aggieland Green and Integrated Lawn Care, respectively.
With these acquisitions, the Green Group family of brands now has a presence in six states throughout the southern and the midwestern U.S.
Aggieland Green and Integrated Lawn care were founded, owned, and operated by industry veteran Tim Schnabel for the past two decades. Schnabel founded Integrated Lawn Care in Colorado Springs, Colo., and later founded Aggieland Green in College Station, Texas.
Although Schnabel will step down from daily operations, he will remain involved as an owner with Green Group, said the company.
“I chose to partner with Green Group for two reasons: People and legacy. I was only interested in a company that would value my employees and the legacy of the businesses I have built over the past 20 years,” said Schnabel.
Green Group’s philosophy is ‘Helping Happy Grow,’ which starts with the employees, he said. They place a high value on the employees and put them first, to have a healthy business.
“This has always been our key to success, and Green Group not only mirrors our approach but also brings more opportunities for employee benefits and upward mobility,” said Schnabel.
Green Group will retain all employees at each location, said the firm.
“We are proving time and again that growth does not have to come at the expense of the people who have built these businesses,” said Keith Freeman, CEO of Green Group.
“Tim and his teams have built two outstanding businesses that serve thousands of customers. We could not be happier to have them as part of the Green Group family,” said Freeman.
Two employees also received promotions to general manager. Troy Ellis will lead the team at Integrated Lawn Care, and Kersten Dupree will lead the team at Aggieland Green.
“The transition has been smooth, and I am thrilled to continue to see what I’ve built for so many years continue to blossom under their leadership. I am also thankful for the opportunity to work with Green Group as a new partner, which provides additional new opportunities for my career as well,” said Schnabel.
Headquartered in Raleigh, N.C., Green Group is a national lawn care and turf services platform providing recurring lawn care and pest control services to residential and commercial customers.
