High-Spirited Success: Dan's Landscaping & Lawn Care
By Kristen Hampshire, Assistant
Editor of Lawn & Landscape magazine
May 2001
This isn’t a story about perfection - or
happy beginnings and smooth transitions.
This is a real story. One that portrays
a man, like many, cut out by corporate downsizing, hurt by lagging
economic times and disgruntled by the complexity of operating systems.
This is a story about a man, Dan Standley, and his company, Dan’s
Landscaping & Lawn Care, which is carving a name in Terrytown, La.,
and leaving a dent in the New Orleans commercial market by building
slowly, learning gradually and fine-tuning constantly.
Today’s Standley knows that untimely
endings make fruitful beginnings - and successful businesses, for that
matter. In his office, he proudly displays a neatly embossed seal
commemorating the company’s 20th anniversary. The insignia also
embellishes his invoices, and two decades after founding his company,
this long-term success still catches him by surprise.
