We unwittingly started in the "Green Industry" as a  youngster mowing yards in the 70's for extra money to buy hot wheels and such. Mowing yards after school sometimes to have free weekends for football, the zoo etc. began the education in the "green industry" and  landscape/turf management. Another added advantage was running around the woods of East Texas as a youngster and watching the forest life and how it breathed and healed itself over time without any help from mans chemicals. In college, to make extra money, mowing was taken up again which led to minor landscaping and other odd jobs. After college the  outdoors was calling again and I obtained an irrigation license from the state of Texas in 1996. Officially starting the business with the intention of only doing irrigation, the right way. But very quickly landscape design, build, maintain started.  (It started because as a sub for larger established landscape companies and having my name attached to the job by default as the licensed irrigator on site, it became evident quickly that they were taking short cuts - WE DO NOT.) While irrigation is a bit of an art form because it has to be done right or the problems get compounded and very few actually know &/or do it right. Designing to each unique landscape and its micro-climates takes horticultural knowledge. Listening and asking "the experts" advice over the years to create, fix, repair issues in the landscape; I quickly learned that many of their solutions/ideas were not working for various reasons. In 2004 after working for nearly a year on a struggling lawn, I sent soil samples to Texas A&M. The soil report came back and it basically stated that below the grass was barren and lifeless.  It was at that time that I remembered Mother Nature and went Organic, thanks to John and his staff at Natures Way Resources. Since then through trial, error, education and meeting some other very smart individuals; I've seen the true power of organics and how to put them to use. With proper techniques and materials, everyone can have a healthy, green, disease resistant landscape year round that actually needs less water.
