The green industry is in David Roman’s blood — he’s following in the footsteps of his father.

“I’ve been in the landscape industry since I was 13 years old,” he explained. “It’s something I enjoy, and it’s evolved into a way of making a living.”

He owned and operated Roman Landscape and Maintenance in Florida before moving to Georgia in 2000. Then in 2012, he started Enviroscapes of Georgia, a full-service landscaping company focused on residential maintenance and mowing.

“Working for myself is in my DNA,” he said. “I’m more comfortable as an entrepreneur.”

Through the years, he’s done everything from hardscape and landscape installations to lawn maintenance and lawn care. But it was at an industry tradeshow that he learned a way he could further diversify his service offerings.

In 2015, Roman participated in a roundtable discussion at GIE+EXPO in Louisville, where a business owner shared a story of getting into lawn care via a franchise. The owner stated that lawn care had quickly become the company’s profit center, which piqued Roman’s interest.

“From that conversation, I went back to the Expo center, and I began to investigate franchise opportunities in metro Atlanta,” he recalled.
That search led him to Spring-Green Lawn Care.

Like many others, Jon Thurman got his start in the green industry mowing lawns as a teenager. He originally began his career in lawn care to help him pay for college but found more success than he anticipated within the business. By his early 20s, however, he was tired of mowing.
