I maintain the upkeep and beautification of the landscape in the Florentine Garden, Tuscany Courtyard and Monte Lago Casino.

This is all hand sculpted using loppers, shears and hand clippers. I also spray herbicides and pestisides that are kept eco friendly as to not harm the animals. I also feed the shrubs, trees and roses with a liquid or pellet fertilizer as to take all precautions to not harm the animals.

Accomplishments

The greatest satisfaction is hearing the clients, customers and the general public as well as Hilton co-workers and staff give me compliments of how beautiful the Florentine Garden has become. My personal satisfaction is seeing the wild rabbits, roadrunners, hummingbirds come into the garden and feel at home.

But i was hired on as a P/T Landscaper and my time there is about to come to an end. Skills Used

I used my personal hand tools, loppers, shears, hand pruners and hand saw and with patience and time, i took what was abused by gas hedgers and chainsaws and gave it T.L.C. and as the months passed this Florentine Garden came to life.

I kept the headache of what material was being used on a daily bases and what needed to be ordered off my foreman. My foreman could rely on me to get the materials being delivered to the jobsite to the designated areas needed to complete the job tasks. The foremans on that job site relied on me to keep all trash from the areas we were working in to be picked up and thrown out (this was a very important part of the job). I did exactly what was expected of me to stay on top of that job task. I was their grunt and they all could count on me to be there and help make the job a little less stressful.
