The founder of Sam's Turf Care, Sam Dyer, worked with Kentucky Fried Chicken and Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers from 1969 to 1985. His experience in the restaurant industry taught him how to deliver high-quality service, always putting customers first. After 23 years of successful business with happy, satisfied customers, Sam decided to sell his company. He then spent his time doing missionary work both at home and abroad. He has traveled to places, such as Nigeria, Uganda, and Kenya. In 2014, Sam reopened the lawn care business here in Independence, MO because he missed the opportunity to help others.
