John Guariano - Founder/Owner
John Guariano got started in the Green Industry as a lawn technician back in 2008 with what was a small family owned business. As the number of clients grew, so did his advancement in that company securing him as vice-president of operations. He managed four General Managers in as many branches which were in 2 states, Massachusetts (3 branches) and Connecticut (1 branch). In June 2015, the owners of that family lawn care company sold their company to the largest lawn care company in the world. He moved to the Cape (Cape Cod) or rather returned as he went to 4 C’s (Cape Cod Community College there because the owners of his now sold company were re-branding and launching a new lawn care company there. Without hesitation, he successfully launched the brand-new company.
I was lucky enough to join a fantastic networking group on The Cape and met several company owners. Hearing their stories inspired him to follow their lead and launch his own company! By doing so he could really set the stage for something that he believed in like his passion for superior customer service, and the use of more eco-friendly products.
