QUALITY NURSERY STOCK
Whenever we install a landscape, we make the nursery stock a high priority. There is nothing worse than spending money on a landscape and not knowing that the plant material that was supplied by the contractor was very poor and not considered. To the average homeowner, a plant is a plant. But that cannot be further from the truth. What separates a $50 from a $80 plant can determine the success of your project. Our company only buys from the most reputable nurseries in Milwaukee County, ensuring the customer proper materials for the success of their job. Many landscape contractors brush this factor under the rug to score higher profit margins, but not us. We want to see our projects grow and prosper on our customer's estate for years to come.
About Us
Griffin Tautges (owner) started mowing lawns around his neighborhood subdivision when he was just 13 years old. With him not knowing much about the industry and not knowing exactly what he was doing, he decided to stick with it since it was better than working at a fast food restaurant. Over his young teenage years, he slowly grew his customer base, service offerings, and equipment arsenal to better serve his customers.
When Griffin turned 16 years old, he decided that it was the right time to file for an LLC. The LLC not only legitimized everything, but it acted as a catalyst for the growth of the company. "The LLC made my customers take me more seriously for how young I was" -Griffin.
Since then, Griffin has rapidly scaled his company. Going from one Honda push mower that was gifted to him by his grandfather back in 2019, to now over six trucks, 1250+ customers, 8+ employees, and the vision to not slow down. His passion for the outdoors, business management, and horticulture has allowed him to seek new opportunities every day.
