NORFOLK, Va. — Tim Eldredge started his landscaping business, EarthScapes Lawn and Land Service, in 1996 with one truck, a trailer and the hope that it would not only grow, but that his sons would one day take it over.
The proud patriarch saw his aspirations become a reality. More than a decade later, Josh and Matt Eldredge, 39-year-old identical twins, stepped up as the owners of the Norfolk-based business that brought in more than $2.5 million in revenue last year.
On April 1, EarthScapes merged with Lawn-Aid, another locally owned lawn and landscape company based in Virginia Beach.
Today, EarthScapes has 45 employees including Josh Eldredge as president, Matt Eldredge as vice president, Ben Hewlett as chief operating officer, and Trey White as chief financial officer.
