Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Excelsior Lawn Care is a new business, beginning operations in 2010.

(On all our services we are offering a 5% discount on any item pre-paid by March 31, 2011. Please request quote by March 24th to get in on this dicount.)
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I enjoy working with plants. (Green has always been my favorite color). In my school days, I was a member of the Cambridge 4-H Club for many years, also serving as a club officer and project leader. In 2008, I earned my Pesticide Applicator Certification in the turf and landscape field from the Wisconsin Department of Agricuture, Trade & Consumer Protection. I then worked for Naturescape Lawn and Landscape Care, serving as lawn care specialist for the Janesville, Edgerton, Milton, and Fitchburg areas. During this time, I ranked second in the Madison branch for total customer service response points.
I started Excelsior Lawn Care in order to get back into the lawn care field. I believe that owning my business also affords me the flexibility to better meet the needs of my customers.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
First of all, Excelsior can offer lower prices than the leading lawn care companies because we operate with less overhead costs than do most. Secondly, because Excelsior is a small business with a limited customer base, we can give more individual attention to each customer. Thirdly, we offer an array of options for lawn and landscape services.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We currently have one location in the Mount Horeb/Cross Plains area which offers service across Dane County. We may expand our team as the season progresses, but have no plans to open any new locations at this time.
What type of payments do you accept?
We prefer to deal with cash or checks, but will also accept Mastercard or Visa if a customer would prefer that payment option. completed.
