### The Unconventional Tale of a Lawn Wizard
Let me tell you a story about how a kid who grew up counting grass blades became a Ranger who counted parachute jumps, only to return to his roots with a mission to revolutionize lawn care. Spoiler alert: it involves more excitement than you'd expect from someone who gets genuinely thrilled about proper soil pH levels.
Picture this: While other kids were mastering Super Mario, I was getting a master class in turf management from the legendary Dr. Larry Barnes – yes, *that* Dr. Barnes, the original "Plant Whisperer" himself. As the founding director of Texas A&M's Plant Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, my father didn't just teach me about grass; he taught me that every blade has a story to tell. (And trust me, once you've heard a plant pathologist's bedtime stories, you'll never look at your lawn the same way again.)
After soaking up agricultural wisdom like a well-irrigated soil (1997-2002), I decided to trade my pruning shears for parachutes. As an Airborne Ranger with the elite 1/75 Ranger Regiment (2003-2007), I learned that precision isn't just about straight lawn lines – sometimes it's about landing in them from 20,000 feet up.
Then came the plot twist: 2007-2016 saw me protecting diplomats across the Middle East. Turns out, the skills needed to navigate high-threat situations translate surprisingly well to battling aggressive crabgrass invasions. (Though I must admit, crabgrass is often more persistent than any adversary I've faced.)
Here's the thing about customer service in the DFW area – there are about as many lawn care providers as there are grass varieties (and trust me, that's a lot). But being chosen isn't just about having the sharpest blades or the fanciest equipment. It's about understanding that true service comes from a place of genuine honor and humility.
Since 2016, I've been channeling this philosophy into Property Pros DFW, where we believe that serving others isn't just what we do – it's who we are. Anyone can mow a lawn, but creating an experience that makes clients choose you again? That's where the real magic happens. Because while getting chosen the first time might be about your marketing, getting chosen the second time? That's about your mastery.
You see, in a metroplex full of lawn care options, we don't just aim to be another provider – we aim to be your last search for lawn care excellence. We bring military precision, scientific expertise, and yes, a touch of wizardry to every property we touch. And we do it all with the understanding that being invited back to care for your property isn't just a repeat business – it's the highest compliment we can receive.
### The Property Pros Difference
Think of us as the Special Forces of lawn care: highly trained, precision-focused, and yes, we still make every blade of grass stand at attention. But unlike my military days, now I get to see smiles instead of salutes when the job is done right.

How many years have you been in landscaping business, and what inspired you to get started?
Lawn care has always been more than just a chore for me; it has been a passion rooted in my childhood experiences and nurtured by family values. My journey began shortly after I learned to walk, under the watchful eye of my father, Dr. Larry Barnes, a retired plant pathologist and master gardener. His expertise and enthusiasm for plants and gardening laid the foundation for my interest in lawn care. Early Beginnings From a young age, I was drawn to the outdoors, often accompanying my father as he tended to our garden. Mowing the lawn was one of my first responsibilities, and I remember the thrill of pushing that small mower across the grass, feeling accomplished with each straight line I cut. My father taught me not just how to mow but also the importance of maintaining a healthy lawn—understanding soil health, plant diseases, and proper mowing techniques. These lessons instilled a sense of pride in my work and a deep appreciation for the beauty of well-kept landscapes. As I grew older, I expanded my lawn care endeavors beyond our yard. In middle school and throughout high school, I began mowing the lawns of our neighbors. Armed with my trusty push mower, I took on more and more clients, learning the ins and outs of customer service and time management. Each lawn I mowed not only brought in a little extra cash but also reinforced my commitment to quality work. I saved diligently, with a goal in mind: to buy my first truck. A Rewarding Surprise After months of hard work, I finally had enough money saved up for my dream truck. To my surprise, my parents decided to reward my efforts by purchasing the truck for me. This unexpected gift was a testament to their belief in my dedication and work ethic. With my new vehicle, I saw an opportunity to invest in my growing passion for lawn care. Instead of using the money for personal luxuries, I purchased lawn equipment that would allow me to expand my services even further As I transitioned into college, my passion for lawn care only grew stronger. Alongside two friends, I formed a partnership that would eventually become "The Greenery" in Bryan, Texas. Our small business was built on the principles I had learned from my father: hard work, attention to detail, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. We tackled every job with enthusiasm, and weeds didn't stand a chance against our combined efforts. Over time, our business flourished, and we gained a reputation for excellence in lawn care. Although my friends eventually sold their shares and retired early, the foundation we built together remains a cherished part of my journey. Today, "The Greenery" is known as "The Green Teams," one of the largest most trusted Lawn Care Services In Bryan/College Station, TX. My journey into lawn care has been shaped by my early experiences with my father and the lessons I learned along the way. From mowing our family lawn as a child to running a successful business in college, every step has reinforced my love for this field. Lawn care is not just about cutting grass; it's about cultivating beauty, nurturing the environment, and building lasting relationships with clients. As I look back on my journey, I am grateful for the experiences that have led me to where I am today, and I remain excited for the future of my lawn care endeavors.

What do you like most about the lawn care industry?
Here is a detailed paragraph about what I like most about the lawn care industry: One of the aspects I enjoy most about the lawn care industry is the opportunity to combine scientific expertise with hands-on, creative work. As someone who was mentored by my father, a renowned plant pathologist and master gardener, I developed a deep appreciation for the horticultural science behind maintaining healthy, thriving landscapes. Being able to apply this technical knowledge in a practical, tangible way through lawn care is incredibly fulfilling. I love being able to diagnose and treat lawn issues using research-backed methods, whether it's addressing soil imbalances, identifying and controlling weeds, or preventing and managing plant diseases. At the same time, there's an artistic element to lawn care that I find very rewarding. Meticulously mowing in clean, straight lines, edging beds with precision, and cultivating lush, vibrant grass creates a sense of order and beauty that is immensely satisfying. It's the perfect blend of science and art, where I can leverage my scientific understanding to bring out the full aesthetic potential of a property. Beyond the technical and creative aspects, I'm also energized by the entrepreneurial spirit of the lawn care industry. Building a successful business from the ground up, managing a team, and continuously innovating to stay ahead of the competition taps into my natural drive and ambition. Seeing a neglected lawn transformed into a pristine, well-manicured oasis through my company's hard work and expertise is incredibly rewarding. Ultimately, what I appreciate most about lawn care is the way it allows me to marry my passions for horticulture, design, and entrepreneurship into a fulfilling career path. It's an industry that challenges me to constantly learn, grow, and push the boundaries of what's possible, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
