- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always prefer to set up a face-to-face meeting, if we have not already met in person. Then I will want to assess the job: take measurements, survey the terrain, etc. After I have thoroughly inspected the potential job/jobs, then I will be able to accurately quote the perspective customer.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor's degree/business communications and marketing from Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. I have 10 years experience in landscaping, lawn care/maintenance, and tree/shrub/brush trimming, removal and general maintenance. I have 5 years of experience with power-washing(patios/decks, driveways, siding, roofs, and commercial buildings/ parking lots).
