My Story

Jeremiah S.

As a child I remember many times helping my grandmother with her vegetable garden and flower beds around her house. This brought about my interest in landscaping and being outdoors. When I was in my teens my grandmother had some issues with a pond built many years before and it was going to need a new liner. She allowed me the opportunity to fix that pond. From their my interest kept growing. I began by working for many friends and family members over the years installing new flower beds, and cleaning and maintaining flower beds. My first job when I turned 16 was for nursery near Carthage, Missouri. Working in the greenhouse industry for about 5 years and taking agricultural classes at Franklin Technology Center in Joplin allowed me to broaden my understanding of landscaping and botany. I began my first landscaping business while in High School and have continued to this day. Every opportunity that I've had to learn something new I have taken it.
