Adam Linnemann is the founder and CEO of Linnemann Lawn Care & Landscaping, Inc., a thriving and profitable lawn and landscape company that has been serving the St. Louis, Missouri area since 1994. As a landscaping business owner himself since the age of 14, Adam understands the unique challenges that entrepreneurs face when starting and or running a lawn and landscape business.

There are many so-called ‘experts’ out there who speak well and know how to market themselves – yet they lack hands-on, real world experience actively still running a landscape company. Furthermore, you might find tenured experts who retire and go into consulting full-time. Unfortunately, they are not a great option either – as our industry adapts over time and presents new challenges.

We here at The Green Executive® understand what it’s like to be in your shoes – because we are sharing your situation. We currently operate Linnemann Lawn Care & Landscaping, Inc. on a daily basis as a husband and wife team. Like every other business owner, we understand what it’s like when two people don’t see eye to eye on important issues. However, we stay on-task and together – we work to find the solution that best fits our business.

We lead, manage, and direct a team of professionals that are in the trenches day in and day out. This keeps us on our toes and forces us to adapt to changes in the marketplace. We understand what it takes to fight your battles, because we are fighting alongside you – and winning!
