David Dorin President/Owner
David was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1954 and grew up in the Laurel Park area of Henrico County. He graduated from Hermitage High School 1972 and began working as a construction inspector for VDOT. David’s sixteen years of experience there with all aspects of road and bridge construction led him to be offered a position as an estimator for Interstate Construction Co. in 1988. The road construction freeze of the late 1980s led to David being laid off by interstate in 1990, which is where his landscaping life began. Thanks to the guidance and support from some close friends in the industry, David and his wife Tina started a lawn maintenance company named Dorin’s Lawn Service. His attention to detail and meticulous nature helped this new business support his family of six until 1994 when the Dorin family relocated to a 200 acre farm in Kenbridge, Virginia. Dorin’s Lawn Service slowly turned into a full service landscape company by 2000. His wife Tina passed away in 2006 from a sudden heart attack. He remarried in to 2010 to his wife Merryan and spends his time between their home in Blackstone and the farm in Kenbridge. As David’s sons, Lance, Aaron, and Reagan, finished school they all came to fill roles at their fathers’ side. David currently oversees all aspects of the company he started so many years ago.
Lance Dorin
Lance was born in Richmond in 1980 and relocated with the family in 1994 to Kenbridge, Virginia.

He saw the potential and the pride he could help create by being a driving force behind a company that bore his name and accepted the position. That same year Lance and his wife Shanley were married. They lived in Victoria until buying a 50 acre farm in Blackstone, Virginia, in 2008. In 2011, Lance and Shanley welcomed their daughter Layla into the world on September 9.
