About my Business:

Own one of the largest residential landscape companies in the area.Unlike some business owners, I'm a working owner.I'm also known as the Lawn Physician and as the Landscape Whisperer! I'm on every job site each day using and operating the equipment with my crew members assuring top productivity and job quality. We specialize in mowing, fertilization, weed and crabgrass control, aeration, seeding, pine straw and mulch installation. We prefer smaller sized properties less than 1 acre. We do not offer drainage or sod work. We have offices in Raleigh and on the Outer Banks in Kitty Hawk, NC. My second business is NC Outdoor Adventures, we provide land for ATV, Motocross, Go-Karts, and Camping, Paintball, and Fishing. We don't rent any equipment we just provide the land. We are the only business of it's kind in the Triangle Area, in business since 2001! We are just 29 minutes east of Raleigh in the Zebulon area just of US 64, check my photo albums for details.I'm also an eBay power seller and a heavy Craigslist buyer/seller.
