I dont know if i missed it or not but did you have any schooling on landscaping or hort.? I saw you say you never worked for another landscape company, but did you have any type of experience going into it? or was it just an idea that grew and grew?

Thanks for the kudos Buffalo! As far as schooling I do not have any formal landscape or horticulture degrees. I did get my bachelors degree in management information systems. Besides that it has mainly just been growing little by little...year by year. Don't get caught up trying to be the next huge company in your area...bigger isn't always better. Grow it slowly...step by step & follow a good business plan.

Hunter...that truck is awesome...almost identical to what we've got. I would LOVE to see some pictures of how you have the inside set up. We plan on getting ours all setup in the next week or so...spring is right around the corner! Thanks for the pics...please put some up of inside the body & bins...would be greatly appreciated!

Glad to hear it...keep it up...you'll be off & running before ya know it.

On a side note...I notice you're an Eagle scout. One of my biggest regrets in life was not making Eagle...I made it to Life scout & then quit...my Dad always told me to go for Eagle and that it really says alot about someone's character...but I was 16 and thought I knew EVERYTHING...so I quit. To this day I always regret not finishing that out...congrats on your Eagle...that is a huge accomplishment that you can carry with you forever and will pay you dividends somewhere down the line whether you realize it or not.

We have a farm so it hauls a dump trailer for manure, it's a muddin toy for me, and I use it on the side to do my mowing. (im only 14)
