A Brief History of
The Green Scene |
The Green Scene was founded by Bob Cohen in 1969 in Culver City as a franchised chemical lawn care company. Bob changed the company's name to The Green Scene in 1972 after discontinuing the franchise relationship, and the focus of the business also changed. The Green Scene incorporated in 1974 and evolved into a landscape irrigation, installation, and maintenance company. In 1989, after years of running his own landscaping service and designing pools and landscapes on his own, Scott Cohen left his job as the Regional Manager of the Lawn and Garden Division for Target, and came onboard as Vice President and General Manager. After designing and building his own pool a few years later, Scott became a licensed pool contractor in addition to his previously held landscape and general contractor licenses. In 1996 he took over as President and Supervising Designer. That year marked the beginning of a dramatic change in the design and installation services that The Green Scene would provide.
| In just a few years, Scott was designing and building amazing pools and spas and conceiving his own signature recycled wine bottle waterfalls and cast concrete barbecue counters with |
| inlaid recycled melted bottles, crushed glass, and fiber optic lighting. From martini spas to all tile vanishing edge pools and spas, his unique designs are unmatched in creativity and beauty. |
 |
| He has also been an active participant in the Industry Expert Program for the CA Contractors State License Board since 2003, supporting ethical and legal business practices in the landscape construction industry. |
