Rob Murphy

Owner Of Southern Services LLC (Landscape/Maintenance)
Metairie,LA

Summary

Over the last 20 years of working and owning my own landscape company the knowledge and understanding of what works and what doesn't has brought me to my present situation. I have an immense love and passion for the business and there is not another line of work I would rather be in.

With that being said , in the last year or so I feel things have shifted on me and the years of physical part of the business has caught up with me ,mainly from the lack of finding good consistent help. I also feel its the right time in my life to look at some options and reach out to a professional landscape company such as Mullins to talk and check any possibilities . Landscape design and selling new landscape jobs to customers is easily what I enjoy the most but I understand getting on and helping in areas that are needed at the time is whats most important.

In closing , aside from what I've included on this resume of what I can bring to the table, I also have around a dozen large good quality commercial/residential maintenance accounts I've picked up over the years . I also have a long term working relationship with 2 prominent general contractors that once the newly constructed house is built I have the landscape,irrigation on new home .

Please excuse if this isn't the greatest resume you have come across , my goal here is to see if we could meet and talk at your convenience

Thank you

Rob Murphy

Really appreciate
