Stockton WellsSpringGreen Franchise Owner
Irmo, SC
For Stockton Wells, owning a SpringGreen franchise is about more than providing lawn care services. It is about earning the trust of homeowners and helping them better understand how to care for their outdoor spaces. As the owner of a locally operated SpringGreen franchise serving Irmo, Columbia and the surrounding South Carolina Midlands, Wells has built his approach around technical knowledge, clear communication and dependable service. Wells and his team provide lawn care, pest control, and tree and shrub care tailored to the needs of the region. Their local expertise helps them identify the causes behind common lawn problems and recommend treatments based on what each property needs. Just as importantly, Wells believes in explaining those recommendations so homeowners understand the issues affecting their lawns and know what to expect from their service.
That customer-focused approach has helped Wells and his team develop lasting relationships within the communities they serve. It has also earned recognition from local customers. SpringGreen locations represented by Wells and neighboring franchise owner Mark Gill have been recognized in The State’s Best awards for four consecutive years, including Gold recognition in 2026. Looking ahead, Wells remains focused on strengthening customer relationships and continuing to serve homeowners throughout the Midlands. By combining local expertise, thoughtful communication and a commitment to doing things the right way, he is building a SpringGreen business centered on long-term trust in the communities his team serves.
