Experience: Since the 1970's, I have maintained and installed irrigation sprinkler systems from pasture to lawn pipe and flexible/rigid pipe drip systems. During college in the 1980's, I studied architecture and design for 2 years at the University of Texas at Arlington. I volunteered at the Rio Grande Nature Park in Albuquerque NM maintaining trails and becoming familiar with indigenous plant species. In Lincoln NM, I managed the historic Ellis Store property from 1990 to 1993. Also in Santa Fe NM, I was the groundskeeper at St. Catherine's Indian School caring for campus paths, turf, shrubs, trees and building maintenance. Later, in Oklahoma City, I was a crew foreman for TLC Nursery's Landscape Department where we installed residential and commercial designs.
On a personal note: I aspire to old world cultivation and etiquette.
Your enjoyment of outdoor scenery and living areas is paramount to my satisfaction
in serving you and your guests. -Blake Martin
