Mike Williams started Olive Branch Landscape in 2001 after majoring in horticulture and landscape management at the University of Georgia. Mike began his career in the Atlanta and Athens areas working for large commercial/residential companies before moving to Statesboro and putting his education and experience together to start his own company. The Olive Branch name was chosen by a family member and taken from the Bible.

Olive Branch has been voted 'Best of the 'Boro' four years in a row for Best Lawn Care, and Statesboro Herald readers said they'd choose Olive Branch Landscape above all others for 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. They were also nominated 2009 Small Business of the Year by the Statesboro Chamber of Commerce.
