Today we’d like to introduce you to Jose Jimenez.
Hi Jose, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
We started out in lawn care, handling basic yard maintenance like mowing and trimming. As we built relationships and gained trust in our community, we saw a growing need for more comprehensive outdoor solutions. With a background in carpentry and a passion for building, it was a natural step for us to evolve into landscape construction and custom outdoor projects.
That shift opened the door for us to expand our services and focus on creating high-quality, custom outdoor spaces. Today, we’re proud to offer everything from outdoor structures like decks, patio covers, and cabanas to full-scale hardscaping, artificial turf installations, custom landscaping, and cocktail pools.
Looking back, it’s been quite a journey from those early days, but every step has brought us closer to what we love most: helping people turn their backyards into spaces they can enjoy every single day.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Every small business has its share of ups and downs, and ours is no different. At one point, an injury on a project forced us to hit pause for an entire season, something that truly tested our patience and determination.
And as a first-generation business owner, there was no roadmap to follow. No one to point us in the right direction or tell us what the next step should be. We had to figure it out through trial, error, and a lot of perseverance.
Those moments weren’t easy, but they shaped us into who we are today. They taught us resilience, pushed us to grow, and gave us an even deeper appreciation for every project we get to bring to life. Looking back, those challenges became the building blocks of our business and they still fuel our passion for what we do every day.

Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
One thing that’s helped is simply putting ourselves out there, talking to other business owners, contractors, and tradespeople in the industry. Whether it’s a quick conversation on a job site or connecting through local supplier events, those small interactions have added up over time. You’d be surprised how much you can learn just by being open and asking questions.
If we had to give advice, it would be: don’t be afraid to reach out and start conversations. Even if you don’t find a formal “mentor,” having a network of people who’ve been through similar challenges can be just as valuable.
