FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an avid believer in continuous education and read several trades. I have participated in the CLCA - California Landscape Contractors Association for the same reason. This is a network of contractors that are committed to continuous improvement and are a great resource for a guy like me. We train and then test young guys coming into the field and help sustain safety and customer service as a priority for the overall field
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was young, right out of high school and looking for any kind of work. I was lucky that I fell into this business as I really enjoy it. I tend my own garden at home, I really enjoy growing my own vegetables and keeping a nursery of plants as well. I would say that I didn't really choose this field, it sorta chose me.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I do a great deal of tree trimming and felling. I do some maintenance helping people to reduce their water use. But the bulk is landscape redesign, paver patios and fence builds.
