(OLYMPIA, Washington)-When people talk about a go-getter – someone who’s particularly enterprising – Josh Monti fits the bill. The 45-year-old Olympia resident has a palpable excitement in his voice when he talks about his latest undertaking and that’s understandable because he’s hoping to utilize all the skills learned in his diverse working career in his new business. In May, Monti and his wife, Sarah, became franchise owners with Spring-Green Lawn Care, the Plainfield, Ill.,-franchisor that has been providing lawn and pest services nationwide since 1977. After purchasing an existing Spring-Green franchise, Monti has been serving satisfied customers throughout Olympia, Shelton, Chehalis, Puyallup and Tacoma.

Monti spent the past five years as a sales rep for one of the country’s largest packaging suppliers, but he and Sarah have also owned a landscape materials hauling company – A Few Yards Hauling – since 2007, sourcing premium landscaping materials from the South Sound. Sarah’s green experience doesn’t stop there; she is also the business manager for a landscape installation and maintenance company. “My diverse experience in sales, relationship building and work in the landscaping industry all come together with this opportunity with Spring-Green Lawn Care,” Josh Monti said. “Together, Sarah and I have more than 30 years of experience in the green industry.”

With 44 years of experience, Spring-Green is attractive to green-industry business owners because it offers proven economic resilience, healthy profit margins, industry-leading business and marketing intelligence, recurring revenue and retirement and family planning through business ownership.

An Olympia native, Monti represents the fourth generation of his family in the area. His interest in landscape maintenance can be traced back to his first job mowing lawns. Monti graduated from Washington State with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Administration, specializing in Golf and Country Club Management, and ended up working at several country clubs until his penchant for small business ownership kicked in. “I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit that drove me to start A Few Yards Hauling and then I became part owner of a small winery in 2009. Now my wife and I are owners with Spring-Green,” Monti said. “We both feel compelled to give back to both our community and employees. There is a definite excitement for what the future holds. We are ready to do good things with good people.”
