Why?

[Jason Pallas]

Hey if you're in Waterford - I just got a call from a customer that needs dirt delivered and graded around a house they just bought in Waterford. I only work in the Pointes/Eastside. If you want, I'll forward your name/number to the person (it's the father of one of my customers). Email me the contact info.

Its close to Oakland County International Airport. Do a search on Mapquest.com and that will tell you where I live exactly. About a block from us, theres a church called "Grace Baptist Church of Waterford" (formally Sunny Vale Chapel) that I attend and maintain the entire landscape-Its my only commercial lawn I maintain.
Started doing it when I was 14, 16 now, and still doin it.

wow, you're right around the corner. are you familiar with the company that services the Oakland County Airport? its an italian name that i can't pronounce. Bruglio &_____? something along those lines. anyways, they do a pretty good job. i've seen some write ups about them in the newspaper. do you ever swap accounts or anything like that? people have asked me before. i personally have never done it. not sure if it would work.

good luck this year

There name is Torre & Bruglio, or as my guys call them T & B. They do nice work, but let me tell you they charge for it. I have seen what they charge, now I know why they have the nice headquarters, equipment and staff like none other. From what I hear they are one of the ten largest landscaping firm in the United States. I always go after their accounts!

You wouldn't happen to be Garzaas(sp?), would you? They are literally RIGHT around the corner (ok, down 2 streets and then right around the corner)
Yep, I've heard a lot about em (Torre & Bruglio)! They're located by the silverdome I think (next to the wastewater treatment plant too!:dizzy: )

As for swappin' accounts, nope, I haven't yet. Don't see why not though!

I've been doin side jobs for quite some time, then I started doing our church (Grace Baptist Church of Waterford) located on Pontiac Lk. Rd. between Crecent and Airport, because the previous guy mowing it went to college. So, after I started doing our church last year, I decided to go full fledge. And just a few weeks ago, I got a used Encore (much betterthan the newer ones). Its a 52" V-Twin, Liquid Cooled, 20HP w/ a Trac Vac bagger. Already had a backpack blower and trimmer.

If you do want to swap accounts, really, I only do lawns for now, then I'm going to branch out into landscaping in 2 years or so.

there is a Torre & Bruglio branch located in canton also, these guys are huge i'd like to know there secret :angel:

[MOOSE]

There secret is the mob or mafia helped them get started. My grandfather told me that. He's been in Biz since 1948...

thats there secret..

[Heavenly Green]

There secret, its obvious MONEY!!! was told they contributed several thousands to Ed McNamara's campaign which guaranteed them a ton of work in Detroit like comerica park. But I also herd something recently about an investigation into him accepting kick backs or something.

But its all money if I had inherited a couple million I would be just as big. but like most I'm not that lucky so yes I have acquired lots of debt to be the size I am. We are still about 25,000. in the hole.


Also last summer T&B was on Fox 2 problem solvers cuz they were housing mexican workers in apartments with like 20 of them per unit one room had like 6 bunk beds. T&B claimed they were unaware of a violation but if they were in violation of the law they said it would be fixed.

[The Lawn Boy Pro]

I believe it too! Quite a few (not all by any means) use it to their advantage to get aliens to work for them. They know where they came from, and they're looking for ANY kind of work that pays practically anything! so, Torre & Brugglio can get mountains of $$$$ and equip. and LOTS of jobs, paying aliens the absolute bare minimum.
