About Greenline
A Lakeview company, run by people who live here.
Greenline is a family-owned lawn and landscape company with 24 people at the height of the season, nine of us year-round, and a shop on Orchard Lane you're welcome to stop by.

Our story
It started with fourteen lawns and a promise to show up.
In the spring of 2009, Sam Whitfield had just been laid off from a nursery job and had a used mower, a borrowed trailer and fourteen neighbors willing to give him a try. His only rule was the one most lawn companies broke: show up on the day you said you would.
Word got around. Nora left her office job in 2012 to run the phones and the books, and that same year we built our first patio. By 2015 we'd outgrown the garage and moved into the shop on Orchard Lane, and our lawn clients started asking whether we could plow their driveways, too.
“We don't want to be the biggest company around the lake. We want to be the one nobody has to chase.”
Today Greenline is six crews, eleven trucks and a designer, and we still answer our own phone. Most of our crew leads have been here more than five years, and most of our clients have, too.

What we stand on
Four promises we hire, train and get paid on.
Price it in writing
Every quote is itemized and fixed. If we find something unexpected, we stop and talk before we spend your money.
Build it to last
Deep bases, real drainage, plants that suit the spot. We'd rather lose a bid than build something we'd have to fix.
Leave it cleaner
Turf mats on the way in, blowers on the way out. Your driveway should look better after we've been there.
The crew
The people you'll actually see.
Plus 18 more crew members in season, most of whom come back year after year. Every one is background-checked, trained in-house and in a Greenline shirt.
