Mowing

Myself
04.2018 - 10.2023
  • Maintained aesthetically pleasing grounds through regular landscaping tasks such as lawn mowing, hedge trimming, and debris removal.
  • Enhanced property appearance by performing regular yard maintenance tasks such as mowing, trimming, and edging.
  • Landscaped grounds and maintained appearance by mowing lawns, trimming hedges and planting flowers and shrubs.


I took over the business from my older brother in 2018 and have been mowing since october of 2023, when I decided to work for Gibson electric. I can confidently say that mowing has greatly influenced me in terms of getting work done on time and on a regular schedule. Mowing has also helped me become my own small engine mechanic, something I'm very pleased about.
