From March of 2007 to October of 2007 Rick worked for a Garden Center/Landscape Company in Maryville, TN as a landscape foreman. While in Tennessee he got the opportunity to work as a personal caretaker of this beautiful 84 acre estate. He was in charge of fertilizing, weeding, mulching and pruning/trimming all trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals on the property. He also planted over 1,500 tulip bulbs along the lower drive on the property which came up nicely in the spring of ’08.
These youtube videos are slideshows of three jobs that he worked on in Grand Rapids this past year. The first one is the perfect example of a low cost, simple “curb appeal” job. The second is a job is a complete renovation, debris removal and soon to be new design. The third job is a clean-up of a property in Montague on Lake Michigan.
