Summary
I am a hard working, dedicated person who thrives on the challenges
inherent in a fast paced contracting environment. I take my profession very
seriously and have always treated my employer's business as if it were my
own.
In my 20 years of landscape installation and maintenance experience I have
managed and installed landscapes ranging from simple production home front
yard packages to multi million dollar hotels and large commercial
properties.
I have a very good knowledge of plant materials and there uses and I am
also capable of irrigation system designs. It has been a privilege to use
this knowledge and my design skills on several design / build projects
including large residential and commercial projects.
During my career I have also learned to be a strong advocate for the
implementation of comprehensive training and safety programs in order to
protect both the employee's health and also the company's profitability.
I have developed many relationships in the construction industry over the
years including landscape architects and designers, general contractors and
management companies and also in the nursery industry. My ability to
develop these friendships I think are key to a providing a successful and
profitable product.
It is my belief that customer service and a strong work ethic along with my
ability to motivate my employees has been instrumental in the quality of
the completed projects I have built and in the profits that I have
consistently been able to deliver for the companies I have worked for
In closing, I would appreciate the opportunity to use my knowledge and
capabilities to help accomplish your company's goals for the future.
Thank you
Robert C. Shearin
