About Thunder Lawns
Our Beginnings
Meet the Founder: Federico Torre
A native Texan, Federico grew up mowing lawns for neighbors and grandparents alike— earning pocket money, learning about equipment maintenance, and fostering a hands-on love of the outdoors. As an adult, he spent years in media but never lost his passion for technology or that nostalgic memory of freshly mowed grass on a sunny day. When he became a father, Federico found himself questioning how his work would shape the world his son would inherit. The answer came in the form of Thunder Lawns, where he could combine:
Engineering Mindset:
Rooted in problem-solving and efficiency.
Media Savvy:
A drive to communicate clearly, so customers never feel left in the dark.
Respect for the Land:
A longstanding desire to tread lightly, using quieter, cleaner lawn equipment.
Our Culture & Philosophy
Thunder Lawns prides itself on a unique blend of workplace cultures—part adhocracy for its creativity and innovation, part clan for its supportive, team-oriented environment, and part hierarchy to ensure top-quality service and safety protocols. We believe in:
Employee Well-Being – Providing benefits like 401(k) plans and encouraging ongoing professional development in turf management and beyond.
Continuous Education – Certifications are a requirement for our staff, pushing each member to master the latest in all-electric technology and lawn care science.
Community Involvement – We actively support local and regional sustainability efforts, such as the Alamo Area Sierra Club and serving as ambassadors for the San Antonio Climate Ready EV program.
Every team member is empowered to learn, grow, and contribute ideas that enhance customer satisfaction and environmental stewardship.
Community & Sustainability
We see ourselves as more than just a service provider; we’re environmental partners with the communities we serve. Beyond using zero direct emissions equipment, we aim to inspire neighbors to embrace sustainable practices in their own backyards. From basic recycling of clippings to advanced organic fertilization methods, we stay current with research through our affiliations and certifications.
Our Mascot: More Than Just a Logo
If you’ve seen our branding, you know we don’t hold back when it comes to electric energy. Inspired by the misconception that electric equipment lacks power, we developed a mascot that’s anything but timid. Part Zeus, part Thor, he wields a lightning bolt and stands as a reminder that electric lawn care can be downright mighty, delivering cleaner, quieter results without sacrificing an ounce of performance. We haven’t named him yet, but stay tuned for future announcements!
Our Vision for the Future
Though we just officially launched services, Thunder Lawns is already preparing to expand in the coming years. We plan to franchise our concept across various locations and states, always ensuring that any added services remain all-electric. Our dream is to power our facilities with on-site solar, drastically reducing our carbon footprint while staying at the cutting edge of green technology. In doing so, we aim to make quiet, emission-free lawn care a nationwide standard—one yard at a time.
