MEET OUR OWNER:
David Gates
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in the landscaping and lawn care industries, David uses his knowledge to create and maintain outdoor spaces that continue to impress year after year. David started working in the landscaping field in 2003 with Ruppert’s Landscaping. He spent 5 years as a laborer, learning the ins and outs of lawn maintenance, customer service, and flower bed installation.
In 2008 David transitioned into a crew leader position with US Maintenance, where he would be responsible for daily operations for a 3 man mowing/mulching team. In early 2009, David accepted a promotion to Area Manager with USM overseeing operations of 14 crews performing maintenance on 350+ commercial properties weekly. The Area Manager position involved facilitating all aspects of land and property management including remediation, landscape design, plant procurement, enhancement sales, client retention, scheduling, storm damage repair, equipment maintenance, and quality assurance.
During David’s employment with USM, he gained invaluable knowledge of PA’s native plant species as well as landscape installation procedures to ensure a perfect fit for each outdoor space. In 2012 David obtained his pesticide applicators license and became submerged in the field of turf management, where he learned about turf diseases, lawn remediation, and insect population control. He worked for a local pesticide company until 2021 when he decided to leave and start his own business.
David takes pride in delivering exceptional service to his customers, transforming their landscaping dreams into reality.
