Throwback Thursday! 📷🔙 🕰 Here’s a look back on where it all started. 🌱 This was the very first U.S. Lawns of Columbia shop and office. About 22 years ago, in this very building, is where our owner, Steve Keys, began U.S. Lawns - Columbia. After having a residential landscape company, he decided to step outside of his comfort zone and challenge himself with the task of purchasing a U.S. Lawns franchise to begin a commercial landscaping company in the Columbia and Greater Columbia area of South Carolina. 🌿🍂🌼🌳🌸
Looking back, starting a family, having a toddler crawling around the little office while trying to complete paperwork, and run a new business successfully was definitely not an easy task, however, Steve managed to figured it all out. At one point in time, this building certainly felt overwhelming, however, that feeling did not last long. Through perseverance, long hours, and some good old fashioned grit, he truly never thought the day would come that he’d grow the business to a scale where it would eventually outgrow this original building, but, to Steve’s surprise, that day came quicker than expected. 💪💯 Now, close to 25 years and 4 buildings later, we are still in operation today to keep our community’s lawn and landscape needs maintained beautifully and our clients happy. 🤝😊✅
