How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As children of a family business, we were the "child labor" around the nursery and greenhouse, and learned all aspects of plant life from field propogation to landscape installation to long term maintenance. You might say that horticulture is in our genes. The love of plants and working outdoors with nature has always inspired us in our work.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Landscaping and working with nature and the environment is our life. We live and breathe this stuff. Our family roots grow deep in the knowledge of plants and allows us to be very creative. We know our area, its climate and soil conditions, and can design or maintain landscapes that will thrive and grow for decades to come.

What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?

And though our clients are people that we want to please in our work, God's Word calls us to a higher standard of work ethic in Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people."
