Proprietor: Patrick Jones

A 2002 graduate of Kalamazoo College, Patrick Jones founded The Yard Crew in 2003 with the vision of offering quality landscape services and a common-sense approach to business. “I believe that reliability, honesty and integrity, and making decisions that are in the best interest of my clients are the keys to true success.” He has studied horticulture at Triton college, where he focused on landscape design implenting native plants and others that do well in our region.
