Owner and Operator: Andrew P. White Dear Reader, I was born with a "green thumb." I have had a passion for the outdoors since childhood. I started mowing lawns with my grandfather's old rusty push mower back in the 1990s. My grandfather lived on a hill, so the job took lots of "elbow grease." Anyone can start a yard maintenance business. However, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, "about 20% of U.S. small businesses fail within the first year. By the end of their fifth year, roughly 50% have faltered". I started the groundwork for official business statues in 2014, established in 2016, and the rest is history. 2021 will be our fifth anniversary!
Given the above statements, I pledge to provide quality professional services available at fair market prices. My goal is to create a long-lasting relationship with you to be your one-stop-shop for all your yard maintenance needs! What is the difference between a yard maintenance business and a landscape company? Each landscape company needs to be certified by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Also, these companies hold memberships with local and national landscape organizations. A yard maintenance company does need these credentials. Any business you hire should be insured, bonded, and keep the appropriate business operation permits through state and local municipalities. My company is a proud member of the Ohio Landscape Association; all employees screened for their ability to perform well. I hold a bachelorette degree in communication from The University of Akron and currently study Landscape Technology at The Cuyahoga Community College. I have taken classes in Plant Identification, Pest, and Disease Management, Soils, Irrigation, Safety Operations, Arboriculture, and Plant Production. Feel free to ask me questions, as I can usually find the answer to most problems. Last, I believe environmental sustainability. A member of the Green Industry is anyone who works with plants. Climate change is a significant threat to our industry. Thus, it is our responsibility to be good stewards to the planet. We are all in this together! Landscape Forman : Noah Polanski Dear Reader, I am a junior at the University of Akron. I major in economics, play ice hockey for Akron, and a member of the ROTC. 2020 is my 3rd year at Trim Neat LLC. I Look forward to serving you in the future!
