I have been in the landscape business for over 30 years. I started this job in high school and have been doing it ever since. I am now 48 years old and have never done anything but the landscaping, tree, firewood, & snow plowing business. When I started this business back in 1987 most guys were running to newly developing areas and doing new construction. I found that there was not much competition in older Neighborhoods. I stared what I call landscaping rehabilitation. Where we don't have to take everything out and start from scratch, but we can save some key plants and shrubs along with proper trimming of trees that may be overgrown.
