As spring ramps up, I’ve been thinking about some of the projects from last year that I never got around to sharing. Here’s one with a pretty cool story.
I’ve worked with this client for over 12 years. I actually started splitting wood for them when I was about 8 years old. Since then we’ve mowed, mulched, landscaped, and more for them on multiple properties. The wife was my kindergarten teacher, and the husband recently got me involved in our local Rotary chapter, which helped shape my passion for giving back to the community. My mother even babysat their kids when she was in high school.
I’ve looked at this hillside for years and always thought about how we could improve it.
What used to be rotting 4x4’s, uneven steps, and cheap 16x16 pavers from Menards is now high-quality natural limestone, consistent, beautiful, and built to stand the test of time.
Projects like this mean a lot to me. It’s pretty special to come back years later and help improve a property for people who played a role in your life growing up.
More to come this season. 🌿
