51
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: personal landscape story. My best friend since fifth grade. Both

52
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: went to Saint Peter Paul Parris on the east side

53
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: of Milwaukee, went to Mesmer High School together, best man

54
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: in each other's weddings. He is a landscape architect, he's

55
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: a city planner. He's always had that in him right

56
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: and my wife and I were living on eighty eighth

57
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: and Townshend, on the corner lot, and there was a

58
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: small part of my grass that I couldn't get to grow.

59
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: I tried everything, and he came over and I said,

60
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: what do I do with this? He said, can I

61
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: have it? And I go, what do you mean? Can

62
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: you have it? Can I just do what I want

63
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: with your yard? Because we're on the corner, so there's

64
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: a lot to do there. And my wife, who's known

65
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: Brian for a long time, said yes. I go hold

66
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: on a second, you know what that means? And she goes, yeah,

67
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: Well he.

68
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 4: Took out look fabulous.

69
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: Oh not only that, we were the botanical gardens on

70
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: ay even Townshend, and what I didn't know and he

71
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: told me this would happen and I said, it's not

72
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: going to happen like he would. He would take stuff

73
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: from his house on the east side because he had

74
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: everything done. He goes, my house is done, and he

75
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: would all of a sudden he show up at my

76
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: house and like I'd be at work, I'd come home

77
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: and everything would be changed. And it was him doing this,

78
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: and what it made me do is go out, take

79
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: care of it, water it, and it was my oasis.

80
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: It was I'd come home from a rough day, my

81
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: wife and I would have a little dinner and I'd

82
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: go out and I'd spend hours outside picking weeds, watering,

83
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: and it was the peace of mind for me that

84
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: I looked so forward to that I didn't know what

85
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: was I had no idea, and he came and did.

86
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: He was like, hey, I wanted to do this. I

87
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: want to try this. He does this green wall thing right,

88
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: and so he always goes vertical, and he said, I

89
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: want to go horizontal and see how that looks. And

90
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: I go, okay. So we put two of these green walls,

91
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: and we put lights on and we put cherry tomatoes.

92
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: Growing up, people would come to my house and knock

93
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: on the door and go look. We lived across the

94
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: street from a park where a lot of people would

95
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: walk their pets and their dogs, right, and they would

96
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: knock on my door and say, hey, something new outside.

97
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: Could you come out here? What is this? I just

98
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: water it. I don't know.

99
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: So he would leave the little stakes so that I

100
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: could go, oh, this is you know, red twig dog,

101
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: whatever it is, and I would put it back and

102
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: then the lights would go up and we would change

103
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: the lights for the different seasons, right Christmas, Eastern Saint

104
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day and the different holidays, and people would come

105
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: over and they'd be taking pictures, and I thought, are

106
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: you kidding me? And I didn't know what you guys

107
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: do for a living on what it would do for

108
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: my soul, So it is.

109
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: It was amazing, right.

110
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: I'm still I'm sure what's a red twig dog?

111
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 2: Would red twig dog? Brian?

112
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 4: Well, there you go.

113
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 5: That's a native shrub that we have deciduous shrub and

114
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 5: that we have in the area that has this bright

115
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 5: red stocks that especially over the winter time, they bring

116
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 5: a lot of winter interests.

117
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: I learned.

118
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 3: I don't even know it was such a thing. I

119
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: learned something every week on their show.

120
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: Well you should have come over to my house on

121
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: eighty eas Street. I could have given you all and

122
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: he would, out of the blue make changes, take this

123
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: and move it to the back and move the things.

124
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: And I'm my god, it was perfect.

125
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: He goes into it wasn't because the sun was not

126
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: hitting this exactly the way it should hit. And this

127
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: is his life and he can see things as you

128
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: guys can in your business. You can see it before

129
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: it actually happens. Where I don't have that gift, and

130
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: I had no idea what that would do for, you know,

131
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: just my inner piece of having something to look at

132
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: and work on and make sure it looks good. And

133
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: I am a huge fan of what you guys do

134
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:07,400

00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,719

138
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: I needed you guys to know. Look, you guys do this.

00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: what this does for people's psyche and their mental health.

145
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,560

160
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: We're we're in our yards.

161
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 5: We're playing, We're we're tinkering, we're experimenting with new types

162
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 5: of plants and seeing how they do in different environments

163
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 5: and things of that nature.

164
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: Especially. I'm thinking like during COVID too, you guys, because

165
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: everybody was in our backyard. Nobody nobody can.

166
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 5: Nobody could go any Yeah, nobody really When when COVID began,

167
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 5: nobody really knew how that was going to affect everyone,

168
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 5: But yeah, it turned out, you know, this situation where

169
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 5: everyone was sort of trapped in there in their yards

170
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 5: and looking at it and which had maybe they had,

171
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 5: maybe they hadn't paid attention to it. Now all of

172
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 5: a sudden, you know, they've got this renewed interest. And

173
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 5: so yeah, absolutely that that was a sort of a

174
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 5: boon for our industry.

175
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: And I think it's amazing, Like landscaping means a lot

176
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 4: of things to a lot of different people. And as

177
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 4: someone who unlike Brian, this wasn't my passion when I

178
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 4: was growing up or when I went to school, so

179
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: this is not something I studied. I came into the

180
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: landscaping industry much later. I've been in the landscaping industry

181
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 4: for three years.

182
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: Now, what did you do prior? Can I ask?

183
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: What?

184
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 4: Well? I have four adult grown boys, so I was

185
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,559
Speaker 4: a stay at home mom for a long time.

186
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: We have to talk. My daughter has four and oh.

187
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 4: My goodness, bless her heart, she's got her hands full.

188
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm from sixteen to four and I first of all,

189
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: these boys eat her out of house and home, right,

190
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean that pick and save loves my daughter.

191
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 2: I can tell you that.

192
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it stays there some big boys do oh yeah,

193
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: oh the freshmans, but yeah, they are all athletes and

194
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: get after it. So then you got into this, Yeah,

195
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: can I so that this is relatively new for you?

196
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: Did you know coming in the the effect that you

197
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: would have not only have people's homes, but then kind

198
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: of their their mental zero idea.

199
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 4: I was looking for a job, so that's that was

200
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 4: my path into landscaping. I needed a job and there

201
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 4: was a landscaping company that wanted to take me on

202
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 4: because of other skills that I had, and so I

203
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 4: got started and I was shocked to learn what landscaping

204
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 4: is like. It is the first impression what people see

205
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: when they come into your home, like when they look

206
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: if you don't have any landscaping, if it's just grass

207
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 4: and there's no trees, there's no flowers, there's no plants,

208
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 4: or if it's overgrown and unkept like that makes an

209
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: impression on people how you feel when you come home,

210
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 4: right to your point. So it has been very mind

211
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 4: opening for me.

212
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: This time of year when when when we were on

213
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: eighty eighth Street, this time of year was the hardest

214
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: because you're looking at this and you get through the

215
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: winter and it doesn't look great and you're like, and

216
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: it's too early at least I thought it was too

217
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: early to really do a lot.

218
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: I mean you could go out and weed.

219
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: Whether you should uh bring your lawmar out or leave

220
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: your snowblower out. You don't know what to do right now, correct,

221
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 3: because no growing.

222
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: Right and there's not a ton of green and nothing

223
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: has popped yet, and you.

224
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: Can't gingy looking you're like anything right now. We just

225
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: got at our house. We just got a couple of

226
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: those little flowered things are going to pop up, you know,

227
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: but that's that's all. That's it out way. It's pretty

228
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 3: dingy dirt. Yeah, you know you got clean dog poop

229
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 3: now because snow's not covering.

230
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: It right right.

231
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 5: Yeah. Now's the time of year when we're starting to

232
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 5: get into our heavy spring cleanup season, when we're going

233
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 5: in and you know, getting cutting down any of the

234
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 5: perennials that it may have been left from the previous years,

235
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 5: cleaning the leaves and any sort of winter debris that

236
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 5: built up over the course of the winter in the seasons.

237
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 5: And then you know, as as the temperature warms here,

238
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 5: you know that all of a sudden, everything's going to

239
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 5: start to come alive and you get some fresh mulch

240
00:10:59,400 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 5: in there.

241
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: It look, you know, like a.

242
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 4: Fresh coat of paint exactly.

243
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 2: But well, you guys, well yes it is.

244
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 3: So what you guys there, John, do you put snowblowers

245
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,359
Speaker 3: away yet or not yet?

246
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 5: Well, well, not quite yet, soon you never know in Wisconsin, right,

247
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 5: And so it is. We we have I think, like

248
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 5: seventy trucks with with snowplows, snowplows on the front, salters

249
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 5: in the back, and it does take a little while

250
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 5: to convert them over. And so we want to be

251
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 5: pretty certain that we're actually done here.

252
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 4: We're hoping that we're done.

253
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: We're really hoping, guys. I love the history behind American landscape.

254
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: It started in a garage and wall with Tosa, and

255
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: I think and now you just said, we have seventy

256
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: trucks like you want to talk.

257
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 4: About with the snow equipment on it, right.

258
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: Okay, more more than that overall, it's right around that

259
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: in that range here. But think about if if somebody

260
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: said to you know, hey, I'm going to start a

261
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: landscape company and it's I've got a couple of lawnmars

262
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: in the back of my garage and to build it

263
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: from that to where you guys are at now. It's

264
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: kind of like the American dream, right, This is kind

265
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: of we do. And the fact that you guys have

266
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: been doing this and this company's been around helping our

267
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: neighbors for forty years is really a big deal to make.

268
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: I love over fifty hold on, oh, I got you

269
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: know what I printed? Sorry about that, over fifty years?

270
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 2: Correct? How many employees?

271
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 5: Well, it sort of fluctuates over the course of the season.

272
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 5: You know, when we get into the full green the

273
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 5: green season, we're right around one hundred and ten, one

274
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty twenty somewhere.

275
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: In that range. Where do you do you hire people

276
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: come summertime? And a lot of that high school age kids.

277
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, there's opportunities for high school kids that come

278
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 5: in and work with sour college kids returning. Oh, there

279
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 5: you go summer, and we do try to keep a

280
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 5: lot of our employees on a year round basis. They

281
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 5: all contribute towards our commercial snow operation in the winter time,

282
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 5: but that can be you know, it sort of depends

283
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 5: on the weather.

284
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 4: Which is very robust.

285
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, how many.

286
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: How many like architects and people that are designers compared

287
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: to then the amount of people that are out doing

288
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: the physical labor.

289
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, we have a pretty large team of designers.

290
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 5: I'm a landscape architect myself, and then we have six

291
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 5: additional designers. We have a few designers who are in

292
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 5: a sort of a design only support role, and then

293
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 5: there are horticulturists and other people who sort of contribute

294
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 5: to sort of more specialty things making horticulturals.

295
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: I can I can't pronounce it either, so I'll just

00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: people at Lakeside Haven. I want to go to the

316
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: wedding or to the party that they have on that website,

317
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: Like I literally want to go and just hang out

318
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: by the lake there. Those were the three for me

319
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: that jumped out and I'd be like, Oh, I want

320
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: to live there, I want to visit, I want to

321
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: be their friend kind of thing.

322
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: Those for me, but all of them.

323
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: The before and after pictures, guys, you got to be

324
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: so proud of the work that you guys do. And

325
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: when you go to the portfolio, there's a lot of

326
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: pictures to look at. Trust me, spend fifteen minutes and

327
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: looking at the before and after. There are times that

328
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: I had to go back to the before because I'm like,

329
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: that's not the same place, and I'd see the house

330
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: and I'd go, no, that's the same house and just

331
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: some unbelievable.

332
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 4: A normal looking yard. Yeah, and to make it look

333
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 4: like something out of a magazine.

334
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. And there are some that that when

335
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: you read the bile and you read the description, it says,

336
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: look this. You know, before they bought the house, this

337
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: had been kind of let go for a year. And

338
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: then you see that, and then you go to the

339
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: after and you're like, I just didn't they put a

340
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: walkway there? That what a brilliant idea. And so I

341
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: would really encourage people to go to the website and

342
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: pronounce it again a mirror landscape. Sorry about that, Amor

343
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: Landscape dot com, ameer landscape dot com, amor landscape dot com.

344
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: Read the history behind this company, but please spend some

345
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: time on that portfolio. And then I went to the

346
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: testimonials and we could we could just do the rest

347
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: of the show saying okay, this guy said no, no,

348
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think they're the best, and the next

349
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: guy's like, no, no, they did a better job for me.

350
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: All of the the write ups have been pretty incredible.

351
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: And when you read the history of how it started

352
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: to where you guys are at, it does not surprise

353
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: me because you can't be around like Binger. You can't

354
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: be around for fifty years without making sure that everybody

355
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: is like happy with the project. And look, we know

356
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: what happens during these projects. Sometimes in the middle of it,

357
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: people want to break up, right, like we're dating for

358
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: a bit and hold on, you said that this was

359
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: going to be done, Well, you know what, it'll be

360
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: done in the next week. Here's what happened. But when

361
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: you read those, it's like people when everybody's done, man,

362
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: they're jumping up and down and going, hey, look, five star,

363
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: five star, five star all over the place.

364
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: You gotta be really proud of that.

365
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say that that's the best. The best

366
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 5: projects are the ones where you know it's a team

367
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 5: effort between the clients and the and the designer. And

368
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: that's our job is to sort of get a real

369
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 5: sense for who they are, what their project objectives are,

370
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 5: and presenting realistic expectations for what they can expect to

371
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 5: see when when the project is finished. And some of

372
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 5: the things we're looking to do is just like draw

373
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 5: off of.

374
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: Cues from the architecture.

375
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 5: For example, we want to sort of we see the

376
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 5: landscape as an extension of the building, and so any

377
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 5: way that we can you know, work in context with

378
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 5: the similar materials, colors, the qualities of the building, bring

379
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 5: that out into draw that out into the landscape.

380
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 2: Those are the most successful projects.

381
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 5: As well as just you know, getting a sense for

382
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 5: the homeowner's personal style, whether they want something more contemporary,

383
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 5: more more traditional ways that you know, the way that

384
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 5: they live their life. Do they do they have time

385
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 5: to be out in the landscape maintaining this what once

386
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 5: this is done, because you don't want to invest all

387
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 5: the money into into something and then just have it

388
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 5: go to waste.

389
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 4: So maybe they'll be like you and suddenly find time

390
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 4: because they love it so much, right, But we don't

391
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 4: want to assume that going into.

392
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: Well, watching Brewer baseball and listened to Brewer baseball because

393
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: I would be outside bingo.

394
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just thinking about it because you know

395
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 3: my world. Sometimes people will just pick some stuff that

396
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 3: just you know, it doesn't work, you know, and sometimes

397
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 3: some contractors will just do it and then you just

398
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 3: turns their mass. So how do you handle a customer

399
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: when you said you saw someone in Pinterest, do you

400
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: want to do this in their yard? And you're like,

401
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: you know this won't fit, this won't work. How do

402
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: you handle that?

403
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean ultimately we have to remember that this

404
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 5: is I may have an idea of what I think

405
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 5: the final product should be, and Tanya may have her

406
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 5: ideas of what the final.

407
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: Product should be.

408
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 5: But ultimately you want to make sure that you're designing

409
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 5: for the client. And you know, if they do have

410
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 5: ideas or maybe they're plants, they want to plant a

411
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 5: palm tree, you know, in their backyard, and which you

412
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 5: just have to educate them as best you can just

413
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 5: say that you know that that that may live for

414
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 5: the first summer, but it once winter comes, it's not

415
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 5: going to That's probably not going to work. So yeah,

416
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 5: it's we have to be the ones who are educating

417
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 5: on them and telling them what we think is going

418
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 5: to be as successful plant you.

419
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 3: Guys are like if we're at the plant trees and stuff,

420
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: and you know, sometimes the wreck people's houses, there's things

421
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: that can happen and stuff like that.

422
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: Gotta be gotta be careful, right.

423
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, And and planting design is a whole thing exactly.

424
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 5: That's that's a whole you have to have a whole

425
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 5: philosophy about that in itself.

426
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 2: Like, for example, we want to be using native species

427
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 2: whenever we can.

428
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 5: That's those are the things that are well adapted to

429
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 5: our Midwestern climate. And the more that we can be

430
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 5: doing things that are gonna live and be sustainable, you know,

431
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 5: stand the.

432
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 4: Test of time for years from now.

433
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 3: Well, then you guys, let's walk people's yard and see

434
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 3: you know what he needs some nitrogen or whatever is

435
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: the chemicals that the guys putt in the yards. You know,

436
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 3: we had Fred Appy come over and he got this

437
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 3: big syringe for his birch tree.

438
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: We're trying to save the trunk injection.

439
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's something that those yeah people, you know,

440
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: you guys do stuff like that. So you's looking at

441
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 3: people's yard and you're like, okay, just needs this, this

442
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:54,560

00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: When when somebody calls American Landscape and they go, hey,

446
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: look we have to do something with our outdoor living space.

447
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: That's such a big deal right now because we can

448

00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: pictures tell me these big scope right, But you guys

529
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: do smaller projects as well.

530
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, we do smaller projects as well. I would consider

531
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 4: I'm I am going to be having our company do

532
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 4: something with my lawn because I have just a normal

533
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 4: looking lawn because I haven't been in the industry for

534
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 4: a long time. But you know, just to add a

535
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 4: few bushes, and it's not just adding a few bushes.

536
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 4: I love it that our team will get involved and

537
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 4: actually think about the design of the home. We don't

538
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 4: charge anything for the design. We charge only for the

539
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 4: execution of the project, so we can help you brainstorm.

540
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 4: If someone comes to us and say I just need

541
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 4: a few shrubs, we're going to you know, look at

542
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 4: the property holistically and make recommendations. I mean we can

543
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 4: if they want something that's going to work there, Absolutely

544
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 4: we can do that. But I love it that we

545
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 4: can include the design as opposed to just putting in

546
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 4: a few bushes.

547
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: Hey, Brian on these and I ask all our guests this,

548
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: but these TV shows that we watch where people are

549
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: redoing their their master kitchen or redoing and then oh yeah,

550
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a little landscape too, a little landscape too.

551
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: And I just find that really funny because again, going

552
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: back to this story that I told you to start

553
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: the show, what that little landscape? And I'm putting quotations

554
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: out because my friend Brian Kleivesman decided to make it

555
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 1: Panicle Gardens of eighty eighth and Townsend. But what that

556
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: did for me When you see shows like that, are

557
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: those shows good for your business or not great for

558
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: your business?

559
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 3: Oh?

560
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I think anything that sort of gets people's mind

561
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 5: going and you know, starting to think about, well, wait

562
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 5: a minute, what could be done with MySpace and what

563
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 5: am I looking to achieve?

564
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 2: How could I use it better?

565
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 5: Maybe you're looking to come home from work and have

566
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 5: a place to go outside and get some fresh air.

567
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 5: Here in Wisconsin, we need to take advantage of the

568
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 5: you know, the the limited nice weather that we have

569
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 5: during the during the summer months, and so you want

570
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 5: to maximize that time. And how can you create a

571
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 5: space that really allows you to just unwind and enjoy life,

572
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 5: you know, get outside, get your kids off the screens.

573
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: Fresh air, right, yeah, hey, tiny that we started on

574
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: the process. So somebody calls in to American Landscape on

575
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: Monday and says, look, I heard you on this show

00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 4: that we're not listening to them. So budget is great upfront.

628
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 4: I always ask people like because sometimes people will say,

629
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 4: I don't really have a budget, Just show me what

630
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 4: you can do. I'm like, listen, there is a number

631
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 4: that if we pass this number, you're going to be like,

632
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 4: there's no way I can do.

633
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: This project in our world a lot of people just

634
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 3: bely about it because you're afraid you're going to try

635
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 3: to max it out. But you know, you know you can't.

636
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: You know, you can't remotel or rebuild the whole kitchen

637
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 3: for you know, well, we got a four thousand dollars budget.

638
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: Well ope, okay, yeah, that'll cover your counter top. I

639
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 3: don't know what else you want me to do, right,

640
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got to be honest. You should be

641
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 3: honest with this slowly.

642
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 4: Know if you're even in we're not. We're not trying that.

643
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 4: That's it. I agree, And I think I've found people

644
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 4: like just like you said, are afraid that you're going

645
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 4: to use every dollar in their budget and try to

646
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 4: push them. And that's not the case at all. We

647
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 4: just want to know where we're shooting for, and we

648
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 4: may able to be you know, be able to say, actually,

649
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 4: for what you're asking for, we can do it for

650
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 4: a lot less.

651
00:30:58,760 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

652
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 5: And one of the things that I tell people as

653
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 5: well is, okay, why don't we why don't we create

654
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 5: a plan, a master plan that's something that you know,

655
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 5: ties the whole space together, creates something that all works

656
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 5: in unison, and then you know, you can you can

657
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 5: take it as you go. Maybe you maybe you focus

658
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 5: on the patio area in the first year, and then

659
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 5: the following year you come back and put in some

660
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 5: screening around the perimeter.

661
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: Something to that effect.

662
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 5: But that way that at least you have a plan

663
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 5: and you can budget, and you can and you can

664
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 5: cherry pick. I'm going to work on this portion this year.

665
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 5: Prioritize the areas that's most important to you, and and

666
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 5: and and take it as you're able to as you

667
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 5: move forward.

668
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 4: In the construction world, we call it the phased approach.

669
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about what is it that you West

670
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: End girl? That's awesome.

671
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: I'll say about what do you guys? You know, what

672
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 3: do you guys do? A lot of a lot of

673
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 3: people don't know, Like sometimes people have you know, yards

674
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 3: are flowed you guys, but you know they put those

675
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 3: socks in. What is it that you guys do a

676
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 3: lot of people don't really know that you guys do it?

677
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 5: Sure, yeah, I would say that primarily where where we

678
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 5: focus on we like to focus on the hard scapes,

679
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 5: creating these outdoor environments where you have you know, it

680
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 5: could be a larger space for entertainment, A large terraced

681
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 5: patio or maybe a smaller, you know, quieter, more more

682
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 5: of a retreat that you enjoy just spending time in,

683
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 5: you know, in a as a small group. But so

684
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 5: it can be a range of sizes and features that

685
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 5: you incorporate into it. But it could be you know,

686
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 5: covered pergola, pavilion structures. We do a lot of fire pits.

687
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 5: Those can be gas fire pits or natural wood burning

688
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 5: fire places. It's amazing as we as we've evolved and

689
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 5: as the industry has evolved, you can really take all

690
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 5: the comforts of the indoors and bring those outdoors. We

691
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 5: have outdoor kitchens now that we're doing with any variety

692
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 5: of grill options and things of that nature. Outdoor bars,

693
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 5: those are those have become very popular.

694
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: Especially Wisconsin.

695
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 4: I bet right, I mean right, you have to.

696
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 3: For some reason. I'm seeing pizza ovens pop up a lot.

697
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

698
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. The people they put the build like a fire

699
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 3: in them gets super hot. Take all the stuff out

700
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 3: metro pizza and then it cooks like in a minute.

701
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 3: It seems like it cooks very fast.

702
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 4: Well, And here's something people don't always think about that

703
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 4: they can incorporate into their landscape because again I said,

704
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 4: landscape means a lot of things to different people. A

705
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 4: lot of people just think it means lawns and some shrubs,

706
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 4: And as Brian mentioned, you've got the hard scaping that

707
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 4: goes along with it, and it's absolutely stunning when they

708
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 4: look at the pictures of what can be done with

709
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 4: hard scaping. But in addition to the hard scaping, like

710
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 4: we can put sound systems in so that it is

711
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 4: just blends seamlessly into the landscaping. You don't even see

712
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 4: that it's there. So you've got your bluetooth out there

713
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 4: and you're listening.

714
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 3: It looks like a rock, yeah, the rock in it,

715
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 3: but it's actually a musical.

716
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 4: Or even understairs, there can be light that's incorporated. You

717
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 4: can incorporate, we can show and incorporate furniture into the space,

718
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 4: and we can put all of those separate pieces together

719
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 4: so you have one cohesive outdoor living space.

720
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: And I asked you four years ago about this, what

721
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: would you do?

722
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 4: You have believed us?

723
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: I know if I you personally, because the passion you have,

724
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: really would you talk about this year? I'm telling your

725
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: eyes light up, your face lights, You're like, hey, we

726
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: can do this Bluetooth and just the passion of helping

727
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: people in our neighborhoods feel better about their home and

728
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: enjoy the home. I think is really really important. And

729
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: had I asked you four years ago about some of this,

730
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: you would have probably looked at me like I was crying.

731
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 4: I came from commercial design build prior to coming to

732
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 4: the landscaping world, and so I understood what design, what

733
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 4: good design could do on the interior of a space,

734
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 4: but I'd never considered what it could do on the

735
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 4: xterior of space. And I've told people I think designers

736
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 4: are magicians. I think they're absolutely incredible. So if you're

737
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 4: looking to redo your landscape and you have maybe you

738
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 4: have a five thousand dollars budget or less, you are

739
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 4: not omitted from having someone take a look and at

740
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 4: least thoughtfully design a space for you or ten thousand

741
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 4: dollars like it doesn't have to be you know, a

742
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 4: fifty eighty thousand dollars project. Designers. I'm telling you, get

743
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 4: a designer involved in anything you do, you will never

744
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 4: regret it.

745
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:32,919
Speaker 1: We're going to we need to get to a break.

746
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: Brian on the other side of the break, coming to

747
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: tee you up for this question because I'm sure that

748
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: you get asked this a lot. Why why people choose

749
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: to invest in landscape? Right, we're thinking about we're going

750
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: to take the grandkids to Disney World, or we're going

751
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,479
Speaker 1: to do this. We can't do both for me. Look,

752
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: going to Disney World, that's great, you get some pictures

753
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: of the Mickey Mouse.

754
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: I love that. That'd be great.

755
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: But to be able to spend that money on your

756
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: home and then enjoy I think is.

757
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 3: As sales in your own back you spend money on.

758
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 3: Let I mean what you're paying money to go stand

759
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 3: in line? Right, you lay in your yard and you smell.

760
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 4: Roles or whatever and have pay with grandpa.

761
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: Right, don't give my grandkids any ideas on that. But

762
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you because you've I'm sure you get

763
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: asked that question a lot. And the return on investment

764
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: is pretty incredible as well, and we'll get to that

765
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: on the other side. He's Brian Worth. He's a sales

766
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: and marketing manager. And Tanya Coleman, she's the senior business

767
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: development manager. When you call and and talk with her

768
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: or if you meet her in person, start talking landscape

769
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: and watch the excitement that she has in this industry.

770
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: I just think that's very cool. I I just really do.

771
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: And and Brian Worth, you at to school for this.

772
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: This is your life, brothers, this is and And I

773
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: love the fact that when I said red tweet Dogward,

774
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: You're like, I know what that is.

775
00:36:58,840 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 2: That's good.

776
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: I got a text my friend Brian said, Hey, quit

777
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: talking about me on the air. But he's fine. He

778
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: is fine. We'll get you a break. Other side of

779
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: the break, we're going to start with that question. This

780
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: is the Creative Construction Wisconsin Home Improvement Show on Fox

00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: there too at the home show. And we're right at

791
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: the Home inspectral groups. And that's what bring me into

792
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: my next question is a lot of home inspectors find

793
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: prov is a drainage. Can you guys help a drainage?

794
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: Percent of all basement leaks, regardless of these con basement

795
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: guys that always tell you stuff, oh we have to

796
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: take a forty thousand dollars, I hate it when you

797
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: do that because most of the time an io spaceman

798
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: a guy would just tell you is the drainage problem?

799
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 3: Can you guys help with that?

800
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

801
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 5: Every time that we're doing an installation, that's sort of

802
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 5: job one is to get the water away from the house.

803
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 5: And stormwater management is a big part of the planning

804
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 5: process and how are we going to handle this sort

805
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 5: of thing?

806
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 2: And so yeah, we can, you know, attach.

807
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 5: A drain towl to the downspouts barrier, bring the water

808
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,479
Speaker 5: physically away from the building foundation so that it's away

809
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 5: from the property. Obviously around the perimeter of the building.

810
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 5: You want to make sure that you create that positive

811
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 5: pitch in the grade so that the water just flows

812
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 5: naturally away from the building. But yeah, that sort of

813
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 5: speaks to the sustainability aspect of what we do. And

814
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 5: stormwater management is a huge part of it. There can

815
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 5: be you know, especially when you're working on lake properties

816
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 5: or in certain municipalities, there's impervious surface requirements that you

817
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 5: have to be sure that you're meeting, and so we

818
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 5: use measures that such as permeable paving or rain gardens,

819
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 5: which can be you know, decorative ways to to sort

820
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 5: of manage the storm water as well.

821
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 3: I don't know what Brian was saying, but it sounds

822
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 3: like he knows what he's doing so.

823
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 2: Well and shaking her head, yes, like she knew too. Yeah,

824
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 2: you and I looked at each other like so in.

825
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 3: Other words, yeah, so when you have a basement that's leaking,

826
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 3: and I just said that even I even had you know,

827
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 3: like I said, Chrisma USA will tell you of all

828
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 3: phone calls he gets, it's just a drainage problem. I mean,

829
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 3: you know he's honest about it, So I mean you

830
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: can help with it.

831
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: Hey, we we ended the last segment with this, and

832
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: and Brian, I'm wondering, not for an elevator pitch, but

833
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: when somebody says, look, why should I why should I

834
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: invest this?

835
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 2: You think about going to Disney World?

836
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: Or should I take that money and spend it in

837
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: my yard and to you know, help the curve side

838
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: part of it.

839
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 2: But I'm wondering, how how do you answer that? Yeah?

840
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 5: Absolute, I mean, I don't want to offend my daughters

841
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 5: who are listening, who probably would love to be going

842
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 5: to Disney World right now.

843
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 2: What are their names?

844
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: Sydney and Taylor, Sydney and Taylor Luria next time bring

845
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: them in?

846
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: All right, Yes, that's.

847
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 5: Awesome, But certainly, you know, when you're looking to invest

848
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 5: in your landscaping and you're looking in a long term

849
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 5: investment and thinking in terms of how is this going

850
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 5: to change my life as I from this day forward?

851
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 5: And how can I, you know, just maximize the space

852
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 5: that I have. I already have a yard, but I'm

853
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 5: not using it. How can I how can I take

854
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 5: advantage of that so that I can you know, change

855
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 5: my life and be able to spend more time enjoying

856
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 5: it outdoors and not.

857
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 4: Just spending time enjoying outdoors. It's also a home value

858
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 4: issue landscaping, and investment in landscaping is actually one of

859
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 4: the highest returns that you can do as far as

860
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 4: investment in the home. People don't realize that. They think,

861
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 4: you know, it's the kitchen and bathrooms, and yes, those

862
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 4: are incredibly high return for investment, but so oh is

863
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 4: landscaping that is going to give you a tremendous amount

864
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 4: of value.

865
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: Back when we sold that house on eighty eighth Street,

866
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, when somebody comes through and they don't make

867
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: an offer, they will fill out a form as to why,

868
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: and a couple of them said the amount of work

869
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: that the landscape looks to be and I thought, you

870
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding. And then we had a couple come

871
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: in and I happened to be home because they gave

872
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: us a three minute notice that they wanted to see

873
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: the house. And I said to them, hey, look, we're

874
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: getting some comments about how much work the landscape. And

875
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: the guy looked at his wife and they started laughing,

876
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: and I said, well, no, let me explain, and he goes, stop.

877
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: The reason we're here is because of the landscape, and

878
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: my wife has fallen in love with what you guys

879
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: have done. And right away I went to my friend

880
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: Brian Kleisman again saying, well, you know, he did a

881
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: lot of the work. I've done the upkeep, but he

882
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: said specifically, we're here because of that, and they made

883
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: an offer twenty four hours later, So you're one hundred

884
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: percent right, Tony.

885
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 2: It was the drawing part of it.

886
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: And I don't want my friend Brian to though, because

887
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: I probably should give him a couple bucks on that thing.

888
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 2: But we'll just let it go.

889
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,959
Speaker 4: But that's the first impression. Like in the real estate,

890
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 4: if you're listing your home, when people look at your home,

891
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 4: it makes a feeling a sense of an impression of

892
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 4: the upkeep and if this home has been cared for

893
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 4: or not, and if the landscaping just frames the house

894
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 4: beautifully and looks kept up, that's automatically going to pop

895
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 4: for people when they're searching for homes. So it is

896
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 4: not something that should be overlooked or diminished as far

897
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:38,959
Speaker 4: as the value of a home.

898
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: Hey, Brian, I'm sure we don't have more time for

899
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: this question. But the role environmental considerations right that plan,

900
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: today's landscape design, you guys take all of that into consideration.

901
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure, absolutely.

902
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, we talked a little bit about the stormwater management

903
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 5: a little bit, but there's things that you can do

904
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 5: with landscaping to make your home a little or energy efficient.

905
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 5: For example, you think in terms of our like the

906
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 5: cold winter winds. Those are typically coming from the northwest direction,

907
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 5: and so if you're able to use evergreen trees to

908
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 5: create a screen, you're able to make your home function

909
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 5: a little more efficiently by the same token. And the

910
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 5: south side that's where the hot summer sun comes from.

911
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 5: So if you're putting shade, if you're able to incorporate

912
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 5: shade trees on that side of the house, they sort

913
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 5: of provide shade over the hot months, and then when

914
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 5: the leaves drop, they're allowing the sun through in the

915
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 5: winter time. So actually you can actually improve the energy

916
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 5: efficiency of your home.

917
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 4: It's not something you never thought about.

918
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 1: Thought about it, yeah, absolutely never thought about it. All

919
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: I know is that small lot that we had had

920
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of trees. The only part I disliked was

921
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: getting those leaves out of there, because for some reason,

922
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: our leaves dropped way later than anybody else's in the neighborhood.

923
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: And then, you know, the city had already said we're

924
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: done with this, and I'm raking it out because they

925
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: had just finally fallen. And people would laugh at me

926
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: all the time. We don't have a ton of time

927
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: on trends, but can we talk a little bit about

928
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: some of the trends you're seeing for twenty twenty six.

929
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely well.

930
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 5: In terms of the hardscaping, one of the things that

931
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 5: we're seeing there's all kinds of options for pavers that

932
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 5: can be used, but one of the things we're seeing

933
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 5: is the vendors are actually having porcelain pavers now, which

934
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 5: can be used as an outdoor pavement material. You'll see

935
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 5: it on the interiors, but now we're seeing that brought

936
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 5: outdoors a little more, and it does offer some nice

937
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 5: benefits just from a very dense material and so it

938
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 5: doesn't allow for the water to sort of penetrate it

939
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 5: quite as much, and so that it can be a

940
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 5: little more durable because it doesn't have the freeze thaw

941
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 5: cycle things of that nature. But that's one thing that

942
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 5: we're seeing a lot right now is the porcelain pavers.

943
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: Hey, when I was telling people early on to go

944
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: to your website, right, it's ameer landscape dot com. Correct

945
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: a mirror landscape close am like.

946
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 4: American Why yeah?

947
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 2: Why? Why am I struggling with that?

948
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 4: It's just American landscape, American landscape.

949
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 2: If you just google American landscape.

950
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 4: A company in California that had.

951
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: It already the one that I didn't talk about on

952
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: the portfolio when you're looking through and my favorite Hillside

953
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: Grove Elm Grove, and then Lakeside Haven. Lakeside Haven for

954
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: me is I just want to meet you. No, no,

955
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: I just want to be their friend. I can't afford

956
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: the house, but I could.

957
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 2: Hang out for a little while.

958
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: But the Spiritual Garden Sanctuary is the other one that

959
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: reminded me of what was what happened over on eighty

960
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 1: eighth Street when we lived there and before and after

961
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: pictures that are like incredible and did do you remember

962
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: that project? And did people say, look, I want someplace

963
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: that I can go out and just kind of decompress

964
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: and make it a spiritual type garden.

965
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and and it it really does come down to

966
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 5: the client and what they're looking to accomplish. But there

967
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 5: are people who come in and you you just sort

968
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 5: of it's a it's a discussion. It's understanding what exactly

969
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 5: they're looking to get out of their landscape. And and

970
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 5: that's what we do. And one of the things that

971
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 5: helps in that regard is we create three D models

972
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 5: for visualization purposes, so that on the front end require

973
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,240
Speaker 5: on the front end. Yeah, it could be difficult.

974
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 4: You look right at me when you said that earlier.

975
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 4: You can't imagine it, but we can show. We can

976
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 4: show it before.

977
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 5: It provides a realistic picture of what you can expect

978
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 5: this to look like when you're done in.

979
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 4: Your actual home. Like the three D modeling rendering, it's

980
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 4: really amazing.

981
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 2: I'm with that.

982
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: If I say, listen, I don't want that tree there,

983
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: I want that tree over here. You could just move

984
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: it on the picture and that I can see it.

985
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, even while we're in the in the discussion, just.

986
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 4: Absolutely boom boom done.

987
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 5: And that's what That's what creates the successful project, because

988
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 5: the client really has a firm understanding of what they're

989
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 5: signing up for.

990
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: Tonny, did you guys do commercial as well? Yes, you do.

991
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 1: And percentage wise, is it seventy thirty residential the commercial?

992
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: Is it fifty to fifty? Where are you guys at

993
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: with that for projects?

994
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not even sure. Do you know, Brian?

995
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 5: I would say that for the construction design construction projects,

996
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 5: it's mostly residential, probably seventy five eighty percent residential.

997
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 4: But that is something that I do talk about to

998
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 4: commercial partners. Because we can help them with future capital

999
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 4: planning and you know, you have boards who aren't even

1000
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 4: in the state that need to visualize what you're proposing

1001
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 4: and what's coming and why, and we can help with

1002
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 4: those things. For commercial clients.

1003
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 3: You do some like quad Graphics. That's like doing a

1004
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 3: whole subdivision of German down or something.

1005
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: Right.

1006
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 3: One job is you know it's a big place.

1007
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,720
Speaker 2: Hey, can we have them back in the fall?

1008
00:47:59,520 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 3: Sure?

1009
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: I would love that because I've got a lot of

1010
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: questions when it comes to and how to care first

1011
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,439
Speaker 1: all the work you guys do.

1012
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 3: We bought a house that's kind of like in the woods,

1013
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 3: and leaves our big issue if you live like that,

1014
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 3: because it just we have a lot of leaves.

1015
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we didn't even get into like maintaining, like watering,

1016
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 4: like what once Once it's there, it's living. You know,

1017
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 4: a lot a lot to talk about.

1018
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: Part two, Part two and maybe part three and then

1019
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: part four when it comes to winter.

1020
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 2: What do we do? Should I cover these? That would

1021
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 2: be great? Guys.

1022
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,959
Speaker 1: This has been really fun and it was a really

1023
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: quick hour and I didn't get to nearly all the

1024
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: questions that I have for you, But I love the passion,

1025
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: and I love the history of how this company has

1026
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:51,439
Speaker 1: been built American landscape. Three genera, four generations, three three

1027
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: generations they go. What that tells me is, look, they're

1028
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: doing things right, they're treating people correctly, and they just

1029

Speaker 1: go to that portfolio and and just look at somebody

1031
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,919
Speaker 1: before and after, and you're gonna do what I did.

1032
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: That's not the same place. And then you got to

1033
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,280
Speaker 1: go to the before and look, now that's the same house.
