William (Will) Ryland Jr.
Hi, I am Owner /Operator, William, the second of three Williams in the Ryland family. I go by the name of Will. Born and raised in Fort Walton Beach. As a teenager, I would help my stepdad with his lawn care business. Once I graduated I perused other avenues. After several years of working odd jobs, I landed a job in lawn care and have been doing it ever since. In the Autumn of 2016, I met a wonderful lady that changed my life forever! She encouraged me to be my own boss, make my own schedule, and start my own business. With her having a business management degree and my knowledge of lawn care, we decided to go into business for ourselves. In November of 2018, we officially got our business license and insurance. The business has soared and we couldn't be any happier with the success of our efforts. In November of 2019, I proposed to Holly Fayette...She said YES! We got married on November 20, 2020!!!
Holly Ryland
Hello, I am the Owner/Business Manager, Holly Ryland. I am a military brat raised by a single-parent dad. Born in California, moved to Fort Walton Beach from Germany when I was 6 years old, and have called this paradise home ever since! After getting my degree in business management, I pursued management jobs in gas stations, restaurants, and retail. While I held management positions in all these positions, it wasn't the same, I wanted to own my own business. A few months into my and Will's relationship, our lives took an unexpected turn. My dad Ken, whom I call Papason, had already been battling Parkinson's Disease for ten years and was now diagnosed with Dementia and needed 24-hour care. We immediately moved in together and in my dad's home. When I became my dad's full-time caregiver, I had to quit my job. We decided to start Rye-Land Lawncare so I could work from home and watch over my dad and Will could make his own schedule around dad's doctor visits and be the support I needed to help Papason battle this horrible disease. We have been an unstoppable force in this industry ever since we started our business.
Rest in peace Kenneth (Papason) Fayette
