We’re two guys who love the landscape business and the people in it. We loved the flexibility it gave us, and we loved being outside. We’ve worked hard most of our lives to become successful at it. And now, we spend most of our time helping folks like you develop new methods to properly manage and lead a successful enterprise, too. We’ve each cultivated different strengths and unique perspectives. And together, our combined experience adds up to nearly a lifetime—more than 70 years—in this business, which amounts to a pretty deep well of wisdom.
