It doesn't matter if it is a simple design or a detailed custom project; I am a big fan of a plan.

A phone call cut me off in the middle, but this is one of my favorite points on the lake.
I’ll show a before and after soon. It’s been a dramatic transformation. It’s great to be able to take care of our builds. We are just a small company, but we take pride in every detail of all of our projects and properties.

Hard to beat these work views The lake is growing. Between Harper’s Cov (an entire lakefront subdivision), this Gozark remodel (right behind Dog Days), and the amusement park being constructed, Osage Beach is on the up and up!

Big shout out and thanks to Thomas Construction for giving us the opportunity to help them with their projects. They do amazing work. The best is yet to come.

Little bit about me. I have been a plant enthusiast since I was a young boy helping my Mom in the backyard with our garden. It wasn't a huge backyard, but she always had it looking great. Her and my Nana loved gardening. Mom's favorite plants were roses and Nana's were Dogwood trees. I try to incorporate these two plants in as much as possible, in their remembrance.

I always had a passion for reading and learning. I have a degree in electrical mechanics and a bachelor's in business too, but horticulture is the subject that I kept being drew back to. I enjoy nature and basically everything that goes with it.

Mom was an amazing artist. Her specialty was portraits. I do most of my designing on the computer nowadays, but I do love the artistry of landscaping. I think that is something she instilled in me. An artists perspective. The only difference is, the earth is my canvas.

This morning did not go as planned, but that is part of it. We switched gears and made a new plan. The ability to adjust and keep making progress will make you or break you in construction and in life.
Despite that, I am feeling blessed this afternoon. We added a new machine, a Bobcat T595, to the fleet. I have worked long and hard to get in the position to be able to provide the guys with the best tools for the job. They are great operators and deserve to run nice machinery. Now, we will be able to do some serious damage with two skid steers rolling. Justing waiting on a small auger attachment now. Oh, the trees it will plant!
