About

Schmitt's Landscape Company

Mark Schmitt Sr

Owner

I view myself as both a landscape contractor and an entrepreneur. At the age of 13, my father urged me to be my own boss, which ignited this. He never mentioned the outcome of that objective, but at the moment, it resonated to me. As I became older, the prospect of working for myself thrilled me. Finally, with a love for landscaping and a $500 graduation gift from my grandmother, I launched my own firm at the age of 18. That occurred in 1979. Schmitt's Landscape Company has developed into a full-service landscaping business that takes pleasure in the design, development, and management of high-quality landscapes today, 40 years after it first opened its doors. I appreciate working for wonderful clients the most of all things.
