Buford Lawn Mowing

Eddie Clarke is originally from , Ohio and moved to Buford March of this year. Eddie worked as a landscaper for 15 years in Ohio but moved down south to get away from the cold weather. In Ohio, Eddie ran a successful landscaping business and had over 150 customers and worked for 22 commercial properties. In Georgia, Eddie has approximately 50 customers, 20 of which are weekly clients. He thinks the most successful marketing tactics include using flyers and Google Adwords. However, he also attributes his success to word of mouth.

Eddie services Buford, Sugar Hill, Suwanee, Auburn, Duluth, Cummings, Johns Creek, Oakwood, Lawrenceville and Gainesville. Aside from mowing, Eddie also trims bushes, mows lawns, does pruning up to 13ft and uses pine straw. Eddie firmly believes that customer care is one of the most important aspects of his work. As a result, Eddie always tries to go above and beyond for his customers. For example, one time a lady believed she saw a lizard in her basement and called Eddie to remove the reptile. Eddie quickly came and discovered that the reptile was in fact, a snake. Although Eddie was petrified of the snake, he decided to conquer his fears and remove the six-foot snake from her home.

Although Eddie made a big risk moving to Georgia, he did it because he loves being outdoors and the weather is more favorable in Georgia than in Ohio. Last year, Eddie decided to experience the outdoors on a whole new level by hunting, fishing and travelling the world. Nevertheless, he is back to landscaping and is enjoying it more than ever.
