“As my great grandfather, grandfather and father owned and operated their business, I went into my own business as an urban forester. I acquired my contract license in the early 1980’s and took landscape design at College of the Redwoods. With our team’s education and experience, we want to serve you as a complete landscape service. We enjoy working with the Earth and want to make her beautiful. We work as a team to be efficient with the customer’s money and to meet our intentions. We enjoy our work and have good relations with our customers.” I have been designing and building landscapes for 30 years. I love camping, fishing, and hiking with my family ,and friends, in our beautiful area.
