Driven Landscapes opens Chicago location

NORFOLK, Mass. – Driven Landscapes Franchising, LLC, awarded a new franchise territory to Josh Schultz of Naperville, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago.

Schultz has served in his community as a firefighter for the last few years. Now, with a wife and two boys, Schultz has decided to serve his community in a different way, starting his own landscaping business.

Prior to becoming a firefighter, Schultz worked at a local garden center and then for a tree service company. Part of his decision to get back into the green industry was based on a desire to build a business he can someday share with his two sons.

After several consultations with Driven Landscapes founder Jonathan Orcutt, Schultz decided the best path for him would be a Driven Landscapes franchise.

“My goal is to be a self-sustaining business that can run without me having to manage every detail, every day,” Schultz said. “I want to build something strong that can support my family and still allow me to spend time with them. With the Driven Landscapes systems, and with coaching from Jon, I know I can get there.”

Schultz’s franchise will officially begin operations in November 2017, serving Naperville and the surrounding towns.
