A local landscaping professional has shared an inspiring career progression story, detailing their journey from entry-level positions to business ownership in the competitive landscaping industry.

The entrepreneur began their career at Mountain Top Landscaping in 2020, starting as a weed eater operator before advancing through the ranks to eventually become Foreman. In this leadership role, they oversaw morning points, nursing homes, and high-end neighborhoods, including Morning Point East, North, and South.

During their tenure at Mountain Top Landscaping, the professional gained comprehensive experience in all aspects of landscaping operations. Their initial responsibilities included laying sod and plants, as well as learning to operate both walk-behind and ride-on mowers under the mentorship of experienced team members Evan and Michael.

Following the sale of Mountain Top Landscaping, the professional made the decision to launch their own independent business venture at Starnes Hardscapes & Property Management. Now, seven years into business ownership, they continue to focus on providing quality service to the community.

“I remain dedicated to offering fair market prices, responsible, and reliable services, supported by comprehensive contracts,” Starnes Hardscapes & Property Management stated, emphasizing their commitment to customer satisfaction and professional standards.

The landscaper’s journey reflects a common path in the trades industry, where hands-on experience and mentorship can lead to successful entrepreneurship. Their emphasis on fair pricing and reliability serves as a reminder of the value local service providers bring to the community through their offerings at Starnes Hardscapes & Property Management.
