Alex Romo founded Green & Clean Landscaping Inc. in Greensboro in 2012. He grew up in Mexico, started his first business at age 9, and came to the U.S. where he spent 12 years at Costco — eight of them in management — learning how to run operations, lead crews, and put customers first without exception. He went on to work at ValleyCrest, now BrightView, before building Green & Clean from a one-truck operation into one of the Triad's leading commercial landscape companies — today serving Cornelius and Mecklenburg County with the same owner-led standard.
Cornelius is a lakeside town in northern Mecklenburg County built directly on Lake Norman, with more shoreline and lake access than almost any community in the region. Once a cotton and railroad town, it has become an affluent waterfront community defined by marinas, sailing, lakefront estates, and a walkable, arts-oriented downtown around Oak Street and the Cain Center for the Arts. Its housing stock is heavily weighted toward waterfront and water-access homes, upscale neighborhoods like The Peninsula and Antiquity, and a strong second-home market — a design-driven landscape market where lake views and outdoor living are the priority.
Cornelius is defined by the lake, so landscapes here revolve around waterfront living — shoreline-aware planting, outdoor living spaces oriented to the view, and drainage and grading that protect lots sloping toward the water. Green & Clean handles the full scope across Mecklenburg County: residential landscape design, hardscaping, outdoor living, irrigation, and retaining walls for Cornelius's waterfront and water-access homes, plus commercial grounds management for the Oak Street and Jetton Road corridors. One in-house team handles design, build, and upkeep with the shoreline in mind.
Cornelius waterfront homeowners often search for a landscaper who understands lakefront design — shoreline plantings, drainage on sloped lots, and outdoor living oriented to the view. Green & Clean's published design and irrigation credentials and verified reviews help those Cornelius searches find a contractor equipped for waterfront work.
Before hiring in Cornelius, lakefront and second-home owners ask whether a contractor can design around a lake view and manage shoreline drainage, whether they're licensed, and whether crews are in-house. Green & Clean is triple NC-licensed, fully insured, and self-performs every Cornelius job.
Cornelius clients choose Green & Clean because waterfront properties demand real design skill and drainage expertise — and one in-house team can design, build, and maintain a lakefront landscape with a single accountable contact for the whole Cornelius property.
