I love your dedication to making sure only the highest quality standards are met by your standards of your master craftsmen! I am curious, how many have been approved through the process over the years?
Around 100 contractors across the country have qualified as Master Craftsmen since we began the program.
This is all great info – thanks for sharing. We are a relatively new landscaping company and this gives us something to strive for!
