Most rewarding experience
The many joys of planting a tree.
In the drizzling rain as the sun is going down. Nothing beats the smell of the dirt.
Seeing the customer love the trees.
This has been a great ride. I'm loving it!

Similar to my experiences
This guy in England made a web site about asbestos removal.
Truth is he had tons of calls but knew nothing about it! His experience is similar to mine with MiamiJunkRemoval....But he continued his and made it quite profitable. I let MiamiJunkRemoval lapse.
I already had a plan with Plants From Paradise and I loove plants.
But it's a good article anyways.

Finished the mall
The Hot Dog Stand in Plantation is finished. It was a good project but it taught me that landscape architects don't always select the best plants or even have good plans.
Live and learn.
Live and learn.

Success...and more success!
Truth is Plants From Paradisers that I got my trailer into a situation that I couldn't get it out of!
I broke a tile on a patio and I needed a lot of time to get it out. I'm upset with myself and I told the customer to take it off the bill. I'm completely sincere.
But I learned an important lesson though. Saving a few minutes of work can not be an obsession. Though I value efficiency, I must always emphasize the possibility that things don't work out. It's on my mind. No one doesn't make mistakes.
There is a commercial that some of you might last night. This guy needs new windows and he calls "some guy" from the phone book. The guy is fat and can only be described as a redneck. He bungles the entire job and the windows fall out. The other guy calls the window people from the commercial and gets an amazing job.
One problem. When you call the owner who is experienced you ARE likely to get good service. When you call a giant company you are likely to get someone who hates his job. It's not as simple as just running commercials and buying nice shirts that you get instant credibility. At least not to me.
I'm building my credibility one day at a time. It feels good too.
By the way, I miss the junk collection business but it was for the best. Focusing on landscaping and brokering was eminently smarter.
