Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Know who you are working with. In a world where fraud, theft, and cheating are ramped; integrity, honesty, and reliability are a rare find. "Hire the person and not the promise"...its been my saying for years. If you hired a contractor to provide a service that came with a 90 day warranty and something went wrong 1 day after the warranty expired, can you call on the company? They say, in business, it's never personal. I say, in business, it's always personal.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. The importance of Landscape maintenance. Gardens are designed every day that look great on paper and when first planted but look pretty awful two years later.

It has been said that poorly designed gardens can be successful if maintained well. Conversely, well designed gardens which are poorly maintained are usually failures. The design of any garden, large or small, must include maintenance considerations in the early planning stages.

Unlike a building or structure which looks its best the day it is finished, gardens should look good when finished but improve each year. Landscaping, as opposed to architecture, is never static. Gardens are complex living organisms which not only change seasonally, but also grow and mature through time. The resulting change from the time of installation to later years is quite significant.

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. If you need Sod installed, you will need the following:

Sqft of area to be sodded-This is calculated by measure the length and the width of the area. Multiply the length times the width. Divide the sum by 450. This tells you how many pallets of grass you are going to need.

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. I actually was on a completely different career path. I went to school for engineering. My father started a Landscape company when I was still in grade school. My brother and I would help him on weekends to earn extra money. I developed a love for not the work, but for customer relations. I would watch my father shake hands, make deals, and gain the trust of customers. I wanted it.
