Jacob Berry

Ahh Jake!

Jake was a tough one to crack at the beginning, I couldn’t figure him out at first and then within 5 minutes of our first call I got it. He was already a businessman, I didn’t expect that and hadn’t met a landscaper like him before. He knew exactly what he wanted he simply needed someone in his corner who had been there and done it. A soundboard mainly to bounce off.

Jake is hugely motivated by professionalism and systemisation, he got it from day 1 the importance of infrastructure and creating a culture. Jake has went about things differently than the majority of my clients but equally as successful. 2023 will be a huge year for Jake and Refined Landscapes based on the groundwork he put in first.
