Fifteen members of the Green Lawn Fertilizing and Green Pest Solutions team got together for a short social-distanced ceremony to commemorate breaking ground of the new addition to their Lindenwold, N.J., branch.

All 15 Green Lawn and Green Pest team members arrived with masks on ready to celebrate the start of construction. Owner/President Matt Jesson kicked off the rainy morning with a few words that conveyed the importance of the new Lindenwold building project.

“It’s a great to see all of you after nearly five months of working in separate locations,” he said. “Breaking ground at our new Lindenwold facility is certainly an event worth getting together to celebrate. It is yet another milestone in our growth as a company and a testament to the leadership of everyone here today!”

The 8,000-square-foot addition is set to be completed by mid-December. Once finished, the new building will provide a fill system to help get technicians out on the road faster and provide better calibration of materials. It will feature multiple bays for equipment repair and ample space for material storage. The building will sit adjacent to the current branch building which during peak season operates with 20-plus lawn technicians, 10-plus pest technicians and 15-plus residential outside sales reps, in addition to operations and service managers. The new Lindenwold addition will be up and ready to go for the 2021 season.
