It all started 10 years ago.... my dad was a superintendent for a construction company, ( still is today), and the owner of the building went up to him and asked if he knew any body that would cut the grass for them( 25+ acre pharmaceutical plant). My dad said, " sure I know some one, me!"
So my dad borrowed my uncle's 6X12 trailer, and my grandfathers riding lawn mower, and went to town! Alittle while later he bought a 6X12 trailer of his own, and a lawnmower, a john deere 275, and used his chevy 1500.
It took all day to cut this. He did his regular cut every Saturday. And the two (2) field's every other Sunday.
In 2001 we bought a John Deere 4400 with a loader and 72" mower to cut the feilds.
We got alot of side jobs from them as well. We put down multiple paver sidewalks, (from office trailers to buildings to parking lots). The 4400 came in real handy! In 2004 we bought our first zero-turn and walk-behind. A eXmark lazer Z and Metro (60" & 52"). We still had the 1500 and the 6X12.
In 2006 we bought another lazer Z, a enclosed 24' trailer and a 2006 Chevy 5500.
We got alot more grading and seeding jobs and had a big side walk job coming up, so we bought a 2007 New Holland L185 skid loader.
In 2008, here we are going full force like never before!
