Couple shots of work...I'll have more in a few days

 

Very nice set up! How many trucks and crews do you have?

 

wow. hope to be there someday. Can you post pics of your mowers. Im buying a scag V-Ride in the spring and want to see what everyone is using. Once again, nice job.

 

Well I can def. say I was not expecting to see all that when I first opened up this thread.. Very impressive! Are you still cutting residential or have you moved on to strickly commercial maintenance.

 

Looks like there's a new player in town...Very nice setup, Love the last two pictures!!

 

Very nice, that shop looks amazing.

 

Nicelly organized and a good layout for a shop/yard.

What makes up your business? For example residential/commercial, irrigation, landscaep installs, etc. How many employees?

 

Dang awesome Operation you got there man.

 

WOW...yup didnt see that coming...I was expecting some kid with a riding mower doing a few neighbor hood lawns

Very Nice.

 

wow, can u please stay on this site to give us mortals some help to get to your level

 

Shop looks amazing, EXCEPT for that burnt orange banner on the back wall. I have never known a T sip to be into landscaping.
I would be interested in a little bio on how you got started and what not.

 

what took you so long to get on this site? haha.. looks great man nice equipment/shop

 

Judging by your pictures I have a feeling you will bring a wealth of knowledge to this site.

Looks like you run a very professional and very large business.

 

And just like that he was gone.

 

Nice setup those fords have a lift for them to:laugh:

 

Im not gone! Just a busy guy. I'll have some more information and pictures up soon.

A few answers to questions:

1) Yes, we still do residential...about 200 accounts

2) Commercial Division does about 30 properties (large properties)

3) Install division is larger than maintenance at this point.

Started in 1993, built our shop in 2004. Sorry Im being vague right now, ill have some more info soon!

 

Sorry pictures are just kind of thrown up...I'll get some better more organized ones up in the next few days.

Thanks for the compliments!

 

I would love to come down there some time and see your operation since I am less than 3 hours away. Are all of your customers in Raleigh? And, do you have an in-house landscape designer or to you sub that out?

 

for the "tech" guys...check out our new website. I havent moved it to our main domain name yet, but have it on a temporary one. There is a little bit more information on there that may answer a few questions. I didnt expect to have so many people interested in our operation. Please ask away, and I will do whatever I can to answer your questions. Always excited to help others out. After all, we're all just squirrels tryin to get a nut, right?

All of our Maintenance contracts are in the Raleigh/Triangle area. Our Install department travels around the Southeast and our Fence division will go anywhere there is a big project like an airport or prison.

 

how did you learn to design like that? I try but my jobs are sub-par compared to yours. Those fan-palms and gold mops look amazing in that pool picture, maybe one of the best uses for palms i have seen in a while.

The Palms were more of a luck thing. They are up in VA on Lake Gaston...We had some Jelly Palms there too, but they didn't make it. In regards to the design, we have a designer in the office who puts these things together for us. We are lucky to live in an area where people value their landscapes because they can spend 8-10 months of the year enjoying it. We go a little heavier on the plant material and it tends to crowd but luckily our clients "update" their properties every 5-6 years or so. I will try and get some more residential pictures up soon!
