Work Experience
Landscape Management (04/01/1997 – Present)
Founded in April 1997, Kuchera Landscape has provided quality workmanship and positive customer service, as it still does today. Starting as a self-owned business, with upfront cost and seeking clientele, was challenging. After one year of hard work and determination, my business progressed to 18 clients and with no overhead cost. Today, Kuchera Landscape has the same 18 clients, as well as 5 new customers. I hire out most of the labor to keep production satisfactory, on time, and organized.
