In 2012, the company expanded its footprint in the Florida panhandle by acquiring Santa Rosa-based contractor Professional Outdoor Services, extending GreenEarth’s service area to include Santa Rosa, Destin and Fort Walton Beach. Acquiring the LandOpt license rights for Santa Rosa facilitated the ease of operations at both GreenEarth locations since the roles, systems and processes implemented were identical.
