Dave - Royal Lawn & LandscapeDavid L. Thurston, Jr. – President and Founder

After graduating from high school in 1985, Dave moved to Lansing to go to work with a friend who owned a lawn company that was rapidly growing and in need of help. In 1990 that company went out of business. After a few weeks of trying to figure out what to do, he and his wife Marni decided to start their own lawn maintenance company. Since that time Royal has added landscaping, Irrigation and Weed Man Services.

Dave has spent his entire career in the Green Industry. In 2005 Dave received the Quarter Century Club Award, presented by the Michigan Nursery and Landscape Association, being recognized for his significant contributions and dedication to the Green Industry spanning for more than 25 years.

Dave and Marni were married in 1987 and have five sons, daughter in laws and grandchildren, many of them working with Royal and Weed Man.

Dave’s goals for the future are to continue to maintain a high level of service and retain customers for extended contracts while gaining referrals from Royal’s customers.
