We started as Grasshopper, and only doing one trade: paving stone driveways and patios. Over the years, we were asked to do more and more things—from fireplaces to swimming pools.
In 2010, we took the plunge and made every mistake in the book trying to become a full landscape design-build company. We have learned that in order to be completely successful at anything, you need to have within it people who are truly professionals at what they do. A professional is one that knows everything about his subject, is consistently learning how to get better, and is so good that he has judgment on what and how to do things because he understands the basic principles behind them.

There is no trade school where one can get the information to be a pro, so we had to assemble the materials and
put them together in a course format for the crews, the designers, the site analyzers, the estimators and the supervisors.
