Landscape Apprenticeship Program

Did you know that to become an expert in something they say you have to have 10,000 hours of experience before obtaining that level of authority?

Now how MANY individual pieces are required to becoming an expert in the landscaping field??? "Well, after 18 years in business I can tell you what... I've become REALLY good at a number of things with ALOT of room left for improvement everywhere else which is why I use professional consultants to continue my path towards growth and develop professionally. Ther's just too much to learn and too little time."

-John Rocharz
