    Hello folks,

    I feel like this is my lucky night. I've been in business for a long time, but never knew that this large forum existed. I feel like I just stumbled upon a goldmine. I'm a member at a few computer forums, but didn't ever think about one for my own field. Is this the only green related forum that exists out there?

    Now let me introduce myself.
    I currently run 4 full time crews (2 men on each crew) and I have an additional 3 part time employees that I use when I take on some bigger jobs.
    I have 134 full service accounts, 82 accounts that are just cuts with an occasional hedge trimming tacked on.
    Aerations and leaves are big for us in the fall.
    The past 3 years I have really branched out taking on more larger type jobs such as retaining walls and paver patios.

    I really look forward to sitting back this winter and getting to shoot the breeze with you all. I hope to be able to answer some questions and help some of you out too.

    Shoot me an e-mail if you'd like to chat.

    Welcome aboard Groundscapes! Do you also provide snow removal? If so, check out plowsite.com. You'll find a lot of the people on this board hang out over there during the winter months.

    welcome...A word of advice from me, don't take responses personal, and just relax. I remember when I first started out I thought that everybody was a@@'s. Well, over time I have to admit that I too have turned into an a@@. :D
