About Us

David Gentle Thrive LAwn Care

Our Story

Thrive Lawn Care was founded by David Gentle, father of two and husband to Anna Gentle. By his junior year in college, David had worked for two lawn care companies in Wisconsin and Illinois, so he had several years of experience in the industry under his belt. While he loved doing the work, he wanted more for his family and the community. He was unsatisfied with how the majority of the industry treated their clients. In the fall of 2020, while still in college, he decided that he would start his own lawn care company with a push mower in the back of an old, beat-up SUV in the hopes of serving his clients on a more personal and professional level. Today, Thrive is more equipped and our mission remains true. 

Our Vision & Mission

At Thrive Lawn Care, our vision is to change the industry in Central Illinois by focusing on our clients first. Our mission is simple – to exceed expectations. This mission gives us purpose and fulfillment in what we do on every property and how we treat our clients.
