Our History
Founder and managing director, Stephen Waring, started GreenThumb after experiencing the lawn treatment service in the United States in 1985. He saw great potential for a similar service in the United Kingdom, and GreenThumb was born on 1 April 1986, on the North Wales coast.
Stephen started out with 1,000 leaflets and the commitment to create a customer-focused business. The response was fantastic and today there are over 175 GreenThumb operations across the UK, from the Isle of Wight to Inverness in Scotland, with a new branch opening every month. Most GreenThumb franchises around the country are operated by families, in keeping with our goal to provide a personal service to our customers.
