GreenThumb Inverness
Lawn Care Treatments, Repairs and Maintenance Services in Inverness
Welcome to GreenThumb Inverness
The Inverness franchise was set up in 2006 by Alastair Watt; Dave started working with Al in 2015 after a 20 year career as a firefighter, latterly Watch Manager. Dave bought the Franchise in 2024 after an exceptional year in 2023 which saw Inverness awarded “Franchise of the year”.
There are 2 full time staff (Martin & Jack), between them they treat 1000 lawns. The Inverness territory is geographically one of the largest in the UK, covering vastly different types of soil/climate and lawn size.
The biggest issue we deal with is moss; we spend all Autumn and early Spring scarifying. There’s also a significant incidence of lichen; a scaly fungus which can usually be eradicated with regular aeration. Also common in our damp climate is another fungal disease called Red Thread; a Spring/Summer condition which causes patches of dead grass, leaving the lawn looking dried out.
Dave moved up in 2006 and loves living in the Highlands with Rachel his wife, who works at Raigmore.
Travelling around our territory is wonderful; all the fabulous scenery and the lovely friendly people we have as customers makes our job so much more enjoyable. Summer is very busy as I play cricket for Nairn with Martin and I also represent the Scottish over 40 and 50 teams. We’re always busy!

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I start using GreenThumb?
You can adopt our services at any time of the year. There is never a ‘bad time’ to start improving your lawn.
Do I have to be at home when you come and treat my lawn?
The majority of our customers are not at home when we call. Since all our vehicles and Lawn Operatives are self-sufficient, we can carry out your treatments as long as we have access to the lawns.
If you would prefer to be in when we are treating your lawn, we will do our best to accommodate your request.
I have children and /or pets. What should I be aware of?
We recommend that you keep off the lawn until any liquid part of the treatment has dried (approx. 2 hours). This stops it being walked off. And this is especially true of our NutraGreen Autumn Long Treatment, we recommend that you keep off the lawn for more than 2 hours then as it could stain a carpet or wooden floor, if it were walked into the home.
Grazing pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs should be kept off the lawn for a minimum of two weeks or three cuts, whichever occurs latest, to avoid ingestion of Ragwort, in particular, which becomes poisonous to them as it dies back.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No, we want our customers to continue with GreenThumb based on our merits in creating a healthier, greener lawn for them - not because they are stuck in a contract. Of course, with our treatment programmes, you will need to sign a Direct Debit Mandate with the relevant T&C's which relate to this payment option.
