Franchisees Named To U.S. Lawns 'Hall Of Fame'

Jeff Dajani of U.S. Lawns in Ashburn, Virginia, and Patsy and Phil Gay of U.S. Lawns’ Tuscaloosa and Birmingham locations were honored.

U.S. Lawns named three outstanding franchisees to the company’s Franchisee Hall of Fame. Dedicated to supporting the growing green industry across the U.S. through a network of independent locations, U.S. Lawns recognizes those franchisees that have excelled in fulfilling U.S. Lawns’ corporate vision and demonstrating excellence in all they do. Honors were awarded to franchisees demonstrating the highest commitment to successful operations, world-class customer service, profitability and good community citizenship.

This year’s U.S. Lawn’s Hall of Fame Awards were presented to franchisees Jeff Dajani of U.S. Lawns in Ashburn, Virginia, and Patsy and Phil Gay of U.S. Lawns’ Tuscaloosa and Birmingham locations. The franchisees were selected from more than 180 U.S. Lawns locations across the United States.

Our rapid growth and continued success relies on the innovation, initiative and customer service of our front line ambassadors of the U.S. Lawn brand promoting our national strength and local commitment," says Ken Hutcheson, president of U.S. Lawns. "These honorees deliver the exemplary service that the public has come to associate with us. We take great pride in the hard work and efforts of our franchisees and the customers that they serve.”

“Award recipients are honored for their accomplishments in adding new services, locations, building revenues and increasing profitability, all while concurrently achieving excellent customer reviews and service evaluations,” says Paul Wolbert, vice president of U.S. Lawns.

A former 2000 U.S. Lawns’ "Rookie of the Year" award winner Jeff Dajani built his operation in northern Virginia from the ground up with just one truck and crew into a busy U.S. Lawns franchise servicing commercial properties in industrial business parks to hotels and from HOAs to apartments. “We are proud to be recognized for our continued growth and thank our supportive customer base for helping us earn this award," commented Jeff Dajani, franchisee of U.S. Lawns, Ashburn.

"We have a fundamental belief that if you provide a full-service offering – from snow and ice management to comprehensive flower bed maintenance and the regular rotation of annuals and flower beds, customers will reward you with repeat business. Armed with the support and expertise of U.S. Lawns’ national management team, today we enjoy over a 98 percent customer retention record, and continue to grow our commercial clients annually."

Alabama U.S. Lawns’ franchisees Patsy and Phil Gay concur.

“For us this business started over a decade ago with a degree in horticulture. Today, business includes award-winning commercial accounts that go back to those beginnings,” says Patsy Gay. “U.S. Lawns helped provide us with the foundation to grow our business by providing greater access to the latest technology and techniques in the green marketplace with the support and experience of a complete family and network of franchisees upon which to draw upon. We are thrilled to be acknowledged for our growth and achievements.”
