Arborists license and Custom Grounds license in the state of

of Hartford as a groundskeeper and arborist and shared a
myriad of other duties. A career move to Burhoe Landscape,
Inc. earned him the position of landscape construction

projects. A move to Spofford, NH and a second move to the

to his current position with Carroll County Landscape, Inc.
in 1998.

Sue is the second of our two gardening crew foremen. She is
a graduate of Southeastern Massachusetts University, now

caring for plants and working in sales at the Cohasset
Greenhouses, Inc. in Cohasset, Massachusetts. Beginning in

years at Merideth Gardens which became Sheridan Gardens. At
Sheridan Gardens Sue’s duties entailed growing, planting,
maintenance, sales, landscaping and pesticide and fertilizer
application. Her managerial duties included hiring,
supervision, payroll and caretaking of the facility. Sue’s
past spraying experience has become an asset to us as she is
currently one of our three licensed applicators. As she is
at many properties that we maintain on a regular basis Sue
is able to monitor and spray ornamentals for insect problems
when timing is an important factor. She can also spot spray
any annual or perennial insect problems in the gardens or
container plantings that she helps maintain.
