I’ve trusted him with indoor and outdoor landscaping and plantings. I like that he doesn’t “take charge” of my spaces, but listens to my ideas, and makes them a reality in native plantings. He is competent and I especially like that he is a good and honorable human being." Client, Mundelein IL "Kevin is always quick to respond to the never-ending questions I approach him. He is dependable and hard-working. I think his next project will be my rear yard rehabilitation." Client, Northbrook IL "As new homeowners, we were very interested in reworking our underkept, existing landscaping that previous owners had not taken care of properly for many years. Kevin worked with us to help identify trouble spots, existing plants, trees, and landscaping issues. His wealth of knowledge in horticulture and arbor studies was AMAZING in helping us understand the zones and existing landscape and our challenges. He willingly shared his knowledge and continues to help with suggestions and feedback as we revitalize our landscaping needs to make our yard and home more beautiful. A TRUE professional in every sense. Personable, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable in every aspect of landscaping & gardening needs! Thank you!!" Client, Grayslake IL "Kevin demonstrated fantastic attention to detail in his work at SRCC. He was always willing to go above and beyond and try something new to give our club a fresh look. He is brilliant in his craft and constantly educating himself." Kyle Schwieter, Assistant Operations Manager at Chicago Specialty Gardens, Inc., Chicago IL Intrigued?

Hey I'm Mason Taylor. I am currently a sophomore studying Turfgrass Management at Auburn University. I switched my major over the summer from business to turgrass because I believe there more are job opportunities in this field. I currently plan to intern starting in January at Robert Trent Jones at Grand National to gain experience to pick up an internship for this summer!
