Empire Landscapes

This Pro Story

I maintain properties at a lower cost, while still providing a higher standard of service.

How many years have you been in landscaping business, and what inspired you to get started?

I have worked for many landscaping companies throughout my career. My first landscaping job I started at the bottom as most would, shoveling mulch. I worked my way to the top quickly, as crew leader of a multi-million dollar annually lawn maintenance company. I soon found out that my superiors didnt like my minute per property average and gave the position to the quicker guy for the position. The truth is, they wanted me to zip through each yard just to complete as many as possible per day. I do not agree with that, I believe in completion to the highest standard possible. . I believe in treating each and every yard as it was my own. The difference I make in those extra few minutes is what makes each and every customer say "Wow the yard looks good" That is my goal is to ensure each property is cut to the highest standard, the trimming is neat & crisp and all clippings are off of walkways, out of mulch beds and properly disposed of.
