Chris Lemaster, Field Manager
I started off working in the lawn care industry by being a landscaper for a small company in Kansas. I was originally hired on to be a mechanic and when everything was fixed, I started helping out the field team. Because it was a small company, it allowed me to dip my toes into all aspects of lawn and landscape work. I’ve done everything from irrigation installations and repairs to chemical applications to plant installs and everything in between.
Eventually, I moved to Tulsa, where I was given a position as a “Technician” at Lawn America. Within 6 months of being there, I was promoted to a Route Manager where I had 500 customers to take care of. After one year in a hand route, I was promoted again to the Z Spray team where we did nothing but large properties that required a Z Spray Machine (a ride-on piece of equipment that allows you to treat larger properties evenly in less time). Two years went by and I was promoted again into a Team Leader position where I had a team of 6 employees.
After we were acquired by TruGreen and I stayed on as a Field Manager for one year before I decided it was time to move on to another landscaping company in town. It was then that I was approached by Green Group. I found that my values aligned perfectly with theirs and I chose to come work alongside Benjamin, Mitch, Adam, and the rest of the team.
I reside in Tulsa with my wife and family and I love having the opportunity to serve this community!
