I was just wondering if you mow a lawn of someone famous or of celebrity status, or something of the sort. If not an individual, what is the best company for whom you mow.

I work with Tracy Birds brother in law..
And My brother works for (i'm almost afraid to say it) Sigfried and Roy.
Did a little work for Norm Grabowski once good friend of Bert Renyalds. Hes the guy that didnt wear underware in the movie Hooper and broke a pool que over a guys head right after he flashed him.
Bid on Ron Hutchcrafts new building up here last spring. If you ever listen to a christian station youll know who he is. If you dont never mind then.
I cut the lawn at the childhood home of Judy Johnson. He was a famous baseball player in the negro league. The house is on the historic registry.

We have an agreement with our customer's not to discuss our client relationships. "Complete discretion for our Clients".
I can tell you we maintain properties for a few multi-millionaires. CEO's, High Level Attorney's, a Golf Professional, Ball Player and former Indy Driver/Car Dealer.
All of them very down to earth, genuine human beings. Because that is the only people that we will provide our services. We just dropped a $650.00 per month residential, because the man who bought the house treated us as lower class individuals, his money doesn't mean squat, and I'd bet he'll be downsizing his life style in the near future.

No famous accounts but I was called to the Embassy of Banai (spelling) for a lawn maitenance estimate. Unfortunately, I had no interest in driving into Washington, D.C. more than I already do.

Naturalawn, What Tracy Bird are you talking about?
We don't do any famous houses but we do a few famous places at least in my state. We take care of the Chief Medical Examiners office(DR.Henry Lees office) and the Department of Revenue in the capitol we also bid the grounds maintenance at the State Capitol building but we did not get it. We also took care of Herb Reed's house for all you fishermen he's the inventor and maker of Slug-Go Lures.

We do the estate of a well known movie star and husband. We also do several cororate estate/homes/retreats/taxshelters/ for several Fortune 500 companies. Here in the wine country of Oregon, there are many of these.
Like the others, we assure our clients of complete anonimty and would no way use their names to rpmote our business. It's just the right thing to do. I personally meet with all these clients at least three times per year and have been treated well. I wouldn't let them treat me or my employee's any other way.

Yardworks,
Not that they matter to me (GO BEARS) but there are a few of your beloved Green Bay Slackers that live in and around my area but I can't get myself to bid these properties. They come and go so fast here their front door should be a revolving door.
My buddy did Mike Holmgrens house - while he was here. Better luck next year;)
