Making Lawn & Landscape Magazine’s Top 100 List based on a company’s previous year’s revenue is no small feat, yet commercial landscaping design, build and maintenance company Stay Green keeps receiving this top industry honor year after year, placing this family-run business on the map in this nationwide competition.
In 2024, Stay Green has been ranked No. 92, based on $36,483,000 in revenue earned in 2023—close to half a million more than 2022—and a staff of 450—a 6% increase over its 2022 workforce of 426 employees. This news was featured in the May 2024 issue of Lawn & Landscape.
Stay Green CEO Chris Angelo was over the moon as he relished yet another success for the business his parents, Rich and Charlene Angelo, humbly founded as a mom-and-pop operation in 1970: out of their San Fernando home’s garage, with just one truck, a handful of customers, and a whole lot of gumption.
“All these years later, our team is still infused with that same passion for service and quality,” said Angelo, who has been at the helm of Stay Green since 2009. The firm’s hundreds of employees are spread out across five divisions: landscape maintenance, plant health care, tree care, water management services, and landscape design & build services.
Stay Green serves eight Southern California counties: Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Kern, and Catalina Island. Clients include homeowner associations, industrial facilities, business centers, universities, resorts, hospitals, amusement parks, retail centers, sports complexes, financial institutions, and town centers.
“We are proud to offer commercial landscaping throughout Southern California that emphasizes client satisfaction and sustainability principles that we apply to every aspect of our business,” he said. “And we are grateful for the challenge and the honor Lawn & Landscape Magazine provides to inspire us as well as every one of our fellow Top 100 honorees. Congratulations to all!”
