Green Group Companies has added Aggieland Green and Integrated Lawn Care.

This marks the first entry for the Green Group family of brands in Colorado and an expansion in Texas. The company now has a presence in six states.

Aggieland Green and Integrated Lawn Care were founded, owned and operated by 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. He will remain involved as an owner with Green Group.

“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,” Schnabel said. “Green Group’s philosophy is ‘Helping Happy Grow,’ which starts with the employees. They place a high value on the employees and put them first in order 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. 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.”

Green Group will retain all employees at each location. 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.

“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.”
