Truly Lawn Named to 2026 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

MEDFORD, MA., Aug. 11, 2026 — Truly Lawn, a Massachusetts-based lawn care company, has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Truly Lawn ranked No. 1,263 nationally, earning the recognition after achieving 278% three-year growth.

Founded in the spring of 2020 by Christopher Noon and Derek Kenney, Truly Lawn has grown from a small operation run out of a truck and a garage into a company with three Massachusetts locations and a rapidly growing team. The company reported $599,000 in revenue in 2022 and $2.1 million in 2025. Truly Lawn has also grown from three employees at its start to 20 today, doubling the size of its team in the past year alone.

“Personally, it means that when you really care and focus on something, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.” — Chris Noon, CEO of Truly Lawn

“When you have your head down building a business from the ground up, it’s hard to see the milestones because you’re too busy doing it. This gives us a chance to recognize how far we’ve come, celebrate our team and keep looking toward what we can accomplish next.” — Derek Kenney, COO of Truly Lawn

The recognition gives Noon and Kenney a rare opportunity to step outside the day-to-day demands of growing the business and take pride in what they have built. Both described an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the team that has grown alongside them, the customers who have trusted them and the chance to see their collective hard work recognized on a national level.

For Truly Lawn, that growth began with a hands-on approach. In the company’s earliest days, Noon and Kenney generated their first 1,000 sales by personally cold-calling homeowners in the communities around them. Instead of trying to look the part of an established company before they had built one, they focused on creating a strong foundation first — showing up, providing quality service and building relationships with customers one at a time.

That same philosophy continues to shape the company today. Truly Lawn has built its growth around a customer- and employee-centered approach guided by five core values: Teamwork First, Relentless Improvement, Upholding Standards, Leading by Example and Your Best Every Day.

“If we take care of our team, they will take care of our clients.” — Chris Noon, CEO of Truly Lawn

Truly Lawn credits much of its continued growth to its employees and a commitment to creating a white-glove customer experience. From the lawn specialists working directly with customers and caring for their properties to the customer service team supporting them behind the scenes, each part of the team plays a role in building lasting customer relationships. Together, they prioritize communication, education and transparency throughout the entire customer experience.

As its customer base and team have grown, Truly Lawn has focused on building the infrastructure needed to support that growth without losing the personal service that defined the company from the beginning. The company has expanded from one location to three, including the opening of its Hopedale location in 2023 and Norwell location in 2025, and has acquired three established lawn care companies within its market over the past year.

It has also added dedicated marketing and administrative teams and invested in technology and real-time reporting systems that help track client retention, customer service response times, lead flow and customer communication.

These investments have allowed Truly Lawn to continue expanding while keeping customer relationships, employee development and service quality at the center of its operations. The company has also expanded beyond its original lawn care operation, launching sister company TrulyGone Pest Control after hearing recurring requests from customers for help addressing pest issues.

Kenney also credits much of the company’s growth to Noon’s leadership, pointing to his willingness to show up every day with the same passion and commitment as a source of motivation for both himself and the team.

Looking ahead, Truly Lawn plans to continue growing its team, investing in additional locations and expanding into new territories. The company is also expanding its tree and shrub care services, with a focus on developing deeper expertise in tree nutrition, deep-root treatments, disease diagnosis and prevention, and insect protection.

The long-term goal is to build the best lawn care company in New England while maintaining the culture, customer experience and people-first mentality that helped Truly Lawn grow in the first place.

“We stayed focused and did the work. Seeing what we’ve accomplished is pretty incredible, and we still have a lot ahead of us.” — Derek Kenney, COO of Truly Lawn

“We’ve created something that gives people an opportunity to become experts at what they do and be part of building something that matters. Now we get to see what else we can accomplish.” — Chris Noon, CEO of Truly Lawn
