Yes love the company but can also work happily on my own.

Yes I have some of my own tools for landscaping.

People person very friendly fast quick learner and always willing to learn new things.

Yes I have done some but not a lot but I know it's to prevent the evaporation of moisture, the freezing of roots and the growing a of weeds.

Not yet, but i planning to buy soon.

Well I would say about 5 years.

Very well I pay attention so much that I double check my work before leaving the job.

I start low so that I can be proud of my work when I've exceeded my expectations and be confident to raise the bar next time.

Not specifically in the field of landscaping but I feel my hands on experience harvesting and maintaining gardens gives my some basic knowledge like how to correctly and safely use tools such as wheel barrows, shovels and spades, shears and loppers ect.

Well what kind of soil it is and putting plants that don't compete for light or root space.

What looks best in the right place and which one best fits the spot I'm gonna be putting it.

Well I have some but nothing major at this point but I know being in this company I could learn way more for my future.

My parents did all of the designing for me.

Working around the demands of a 3 year old. But focus, hard work and some very difficult maneuvering I got it done on time.

I have been trained in the identification of many plants. I have also been trained in botany. I have a solid understanding of many plants and I know how to find information about others.

My favorite is loam since it supports most of the plant life and is so easy to handle. I least like to work with wetland soil, not only is it messy, but the choices are really limited with it.

My strongest point in landscaping would be that I satisfy every customer that I work for. To me that is a success every landscaper looks for.

In addition to designing, I am well versed in ground cleaning, cutting, shaping, mowing, fertilizing and irrigating the site for landscaping.

I first evaluate the mistake. Is there a reduction in quality or is the outcome still ok? If the mistake did not decrease the quality of the result and is acceptable then maybe it can be left alone. If not you evaluate how to fix it, and follow those actions.

I am an outdoorsy in and out! When it comes to working in the great outdoors, I know how to keep myself covered to battle the elements. And since working outdoors is the essence of this work, one has to make sure that one is prepared with raincoats and sunscreen as and when required.

Landscaping is something I could seek long-term my parents have done it and now it's my turn to do it and keep the family legacy.

No doubt landscaping demands creativity but it also demands man power. If there is a conflict of ideas among team members I always resolve the issue by sitting together, sharing ideas and evaluating each plan for its feasibility. Of course the customer's preferences and the allocated budget pretty much define the choice of design so it has never posed to be a problem.

Doing landscaping at the conservation building. Had dig out old dead grass all around the parking lot with shovels, pulling all dead weeds. Laying down new soil and patting in all done to make it look even and putting grass seeds on it after then watering. It was successful because the customer was happy and thanked up for the hard work and said it looked great.

The most successful landscaping I have done so far is that in the light well of a huge shopping mall. It has been successful I think because the design ides was very unique and the plant selection was informed, just in accordance with the light and moisture factors so its maintenance is super easy.

Last few years I was working for young and developing landscape business. Making it grow along with our experience and skilles.
