Creative, proffessional, and enthusiastic. From lawn maintenance and cleanups, to paver patios and stone walls. Proffesional, creative, and enthusiastic. I began cutting lawns in my teens. Mostly summers, and some weekends or vacations during the school year. I began to love the work, and lifestyle. So I ended up going to college for horticulture, and during that time I grew my own small business
in an analog era. Keeping a solid maintenance route, and doing some small jobs here and there. I also plowed for my hometown in the winters, being given a highlighted photocopy of my neighborhood/s streets to keep open. After a few years I had grown it pretty well, but wanted to learn more. So I sold my equipment and clients, and got in with larger local company on their install crew. There wasn't many of us. The owner, me, and one other laborer. I eventually began taking over projects after learning passed techniques of the trade. Leading the work with my helper and good friend, while the owner kept lining up jobs for us to knock out. I was in charge of oversight on small to large hardscape installs, and other general landscaping and earthwork and hydro-seeding projects. Working with, and around other contractors, and dealing with vendors. I excelled at and loved my work, and then came the 2008 recession where I was unfortunately laid off. After a couple years of working at a bar and coffee shop, and doing smaller miscellaneous landscape work from locals and off Craigslist, I was able to grow back a small landscape clientele as the economy rebounded. Shortly after that I had my son, and began taking care of him full time for a few years while moving to Maine from Massachusetts. I began to fall in love with the community, and worked at integrating myself into it the best I could. Over the last 5+ years I've been able to grow and curate a list of residential and commercial clients of some pretty cool people, and I'm wicked pumped on that.
