Ed Hester, Lead supervisor and Master project manager
What can we say about Ed that's more important than the fact all he cares about keeping everyone satisfied? His dedication to getting the job done is unmatched and he goes literally to the ends of the earth to make sure we are all pleased with the results. And talk about hard worker-the guy is crazy sometimes! He works harder and faster than anyone I have ever seen. If you don't believe me, let me tell you a story. While working on a project in February's frigid temperatures and unloading 200lb + slabs of blue stone, he was sweating like it was July and never once complained. He actually gets more excited the harder the work. As an expert tile setter, even working on some of the Trump projects, and with over 12 years of experience in the landscape industry, Ed's skills are pretty extensive. He knows how to get stone set like nobody's business, he understands handling plants with finesse and care- from loading them carefully onto the truck to the last detail of proper backfill and watering. He can build a pool side waterfall while hanging practically upside down to tweak the smallest of stones into place, or grade a lawn to such precise evenness that you would think he used some NASA invented robotic machine. And it doesn't stop there, Irrigation is actually one of his favorite tasks, although come to think of it, there really isn't anything Ed doesn't like, accept not being a team player. He treats everyone with respect and appreciation and it starts with his adoration and constant praise of his beautiful wife Jen and two boy's Shane and Ben.
