Introduction: I have been involved in the green industry since I was a 10 year old boy. My passion started within the friendly confines of Wrigley Field. I would sit in the left field bleachers looking at the beautiful green striped turf and the vines climbing the walls and say to myself this is what I want to do when I grow up!"( No, it wasnt to play for the hapless Cubbies, it was to make pristine, beloved landscapes and keep them that way). In the 30 plus years since my love affair started, I love the Cubs less, but the burning desire for the perfect landscape is still pushing me on, and the love has grown. I have done just about everything in the green industry.
A brief summary of my accomplishments:
Pushing a mower as a preteen boy in the suburbs of Chicago
Working up through the ranks to become a retail manager for Franks Nursery and Crafts
While in college working the greenhouses on campus at WMU
Starting a design/ build/ maintenance landscape business from$0 to $200,000 in 1 year
Managing and operating a wholesale landscape nursery in Arizona
Directing an urban design/ install/ build -landscape division of a multi-million dollar garden center in downtown Chicago
Starting up a landscape supply/broker in downtown Chicago
Implementing a unique transitional retail/wholesale management mentality at a suburban landscape supply and garden center
Managing commercial, governmental, and residential landscape accounts and clients
Project managing wetland restoration/exotic removal/habit resurrections
Opening a satellite commercial landscape branch of a thriving business
I like showing off what I know. I will solve your landscape problems. HELP is my name and my business.

We found Jim through Thumbtack a few months ago and have been very satisfied with his knowledge and the job that he has done and is doing. He is presently taking care of both our neighbor's and our landscaping. I recomend him highly.

They did a great job! Everything that was promised in the estimate was completed, from lawn to leaves to trees. We are looking forward to a continued relationship with Horticulture Endeavors Landscape Professional.

I've had landscapers before where a huge team of people sweep in and out of your property in a matter of minutes. I changed over to Horticultural Endeavors Landscape Professional (HELP) because of Jim's (the owner) smaller team, his knowledge and his attention to details. He's overlooking our property and does things without having to be told everything to do and really cares about the lawn and the plants health. Something that larger companies don't do. It's been almost 2 months and he has been working out great.

Jim did an excellent job designing and transforming our office building landscape. It was done in a timely manner and we are very pleased with the result. Easy to communicate with and I would highly recommend.

HELP took on a big job with a vague description and performed an excellent job. They removed two large palm trees, graded and leveled my front yard for a large playground set, installed gravel, a fully mature ficus hedge and other smaller miscellaneous jobs. Further, they continue to maintain my landscaping in an excellent manner. I would highly recommend HELP.
