A Pierceton lawn company that knows its lawns

Steven Elder is the co-owner of GreenWorks Lawn Solutions, LLC, bringing more than 15 years of experience in landscaping, lawn care, and business operations. With a professional background spanning construction, landscape management, and specialized turf care, Steven has built his career around hard work, practical knowledge, customer service, and a commitment to delivering quality results.

Steven began his professional career in the construction industry, spending approximately six years working on residential remodeling projects. This experience provided a strong foundation in project management, problem-solving, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. He later transitioned into the landscaping industry, where he spent several years gaining hands-on experience with property maintenance, landscape improvements, and outdoor environments.

In 2010, Steven began focusing his career on the lawn care industry, eventually specializing in professional fertilization, weed management, and turf health. Recognizing an opportunity to provide homeowners with a more personalized and effective approach to lawn care, Steven helped establish GreenWorks Lawn Solutions in the fall of 2014.

What began as a small, locally owned operation serving approximately 40 customers has grown into an established lawn care company serving hundreds of residential and commercial properties throughout Kosciusko, Whitley, and Allen Counties in northern Indiana. Throughout that growth, Steven has remained committed to the principles that helped establish the company: dependable service, honest communication, attention to detail, and long-term customer relationships.

As co-owner, Steven oversees many of the company's core business functions, including financial management, marketing, business development, and strategic planning. He also plays an active role in sales, customer relationships, and field operations. Unlike many business owners who transition entirely into administrative roles, Steven continues to work directly in the field, allowing him to stay connected to customers, technicians, and the daily challenges of maintaining healthy lawns.

Steven holds professional pesticide applicator certifications through the Office of Indiana State Chemist (OISC), including Category 3B for turf management and Category 7A for pest control. These credentials reflect his commitment to responsible pesticide applications, industry standards, and continuing professional knowledge.

His approach to business emphasizes combining practical field experience with efficient operations and modern lawn care practices. Steven believes that successful lawn care involves more than simply applying products. It requires understanding soil conditions, turfgrass health, environmental influences, and the individual needs of each property.

Beyond the technical aspects of lawn care, Steven is passionate about building a company that customers can trust and employees can take pride in representing. He values the relationships developed with customers over the years and believes that treating people fairly, standing behind the work, and continually improving services are essential to long-term success.

Outside of GreenWorks, Steven is a husband and father of three children. Family plays an important role in his life, and much of his free time is spent enjoying outdoor activities with his wife and children. He enjoys hunting, fishing, hiking, sports, and exploring the outdoors. These interests complement his professional passion for maintaining and improving outdoor spaces.

For Steven, GreenWorks Lawn Solutions represents more than a business. It reflects years of dedication, a passion for the outdoors, and a commitment to serving the communities where he and his family live.
