In 2010 DeMarey Landscaping kicked off their first official year of operation. Katheryn, the founder of the company, had set out to show her parents she was responsible – with the end goal of being able to try-out for a travel soccer team. Being 11 years old, she never knew her efforts would eventually turn into a business. It started with a return call from an older gentleman and everything seeme
d to take off from there. By the time Katheryn entered high school, so many people had called for extra help that one of her friends started to work with her to help deal with the demand. In Katheryn's sophomore year, she decided that she wanted to focus on working outside, and her dad joked around about calling her side hustle “DeMarey Landscaping”. A few days later she came home from school and was surprised to see that her dad had left business cards on the kitchen table with “DeMarey Landscaping” written on them - the official start of the company. By junior year, Katheryn had purchased an enclosed trailer and moved onto college. She debated about keeping the business running but with the encouragement from her client base and support from her family, she found a way to run it remotely. During her first year in college she purchased her first truck and second zero turn mower, became fully insured and put all her employees on an official payroll. By senior year she managed an average of 8 employees and served 300+ clients on a yearly basis. Now in 2021, DeMarey Landscaping is still currently growing.
