Columbia's Premier Lawn Care
& Yard Restoration Service
I take unattractive grounds and make them beautiful again. This involves imagination, vision, and a manicuring effort which is far beyond what it would take to simply maintain grounds.
No greater joy exists for me than taking on the challenge of changing what looks impossibly ugly and making it beautiful again. That's why I call my business Jungle Taming.
Most of the people in the lawn maintenance business won't tackle "jungle" projects because they know how much time and effort it would take to actually correct the problems. After all, to do this job properly, you must frequently get down on your hands and knees & who wants to do that anymore? But how else can you clean a fence line, remove ivy from a bush it's about to choke, clean out the weeds underneath your shrubs, and remove weeds from your beds. It's easy to just sheer the outside of bush, but what if that shrub hasn't been cleaned out in years. Someone's actually got to crawl into the shrubs and remove dead limbs to open it up so that more light can get through to encourage new growth. Willingness to do these things is what I call loving your shrubs, trees, beds.
To prepare myself for my work, I earned a Landscape Management Certificate from Midlands Tech. in Columbia, S.C. This involved 228 hrs of study on the subject a caring for bushes, trees, beds, & lawns.
Prior to that, I helped with my son in his lawn maintenance business. That's where I became interested in the subjects of bushes, trees, and beds. Almost invariably, his lawn customers would ask us to also trim the trees, remove the weeds, mulch the beds, prune the shrubs & remove the ivy from the fence lines. We got so many requests to do so and the customers were so satisfied with the way we did our work that they kept referring us on to others. Soon, I realized that if we were willing to do the things others wouldn't, like getting down on our hands & knees to address the bushes, trees, & beds that we'd have a good business.
The people I serve also realize that I care about them. After all I satisfied my insurance customers for the 32 preceding years and cared so much about them that many still call me. That?s because I love the people I serve, and I put their interest ahead of mine. I still do that today in my beautification business and I have lots of satisfied customers to prove it. The only reason I switched to this beautification business was that it gave me more joy and it gave my customers more joy as well.
I serve in the Columbia, S.C. area, but most often you'll find me in the Forest Acres & Shandon areas of the city making the shrubs, trees and beds beautiful again.
