Bill Kennedy used his landscape business as a means to put him self through college at Texas A&M, University of Texas, Dallas and finally Oklahoma City School of Law. He began by mowing lawns,clients then began to ask about installing plants, repairing gates, installing fences, stone work, patios and even building additions. Between semesters Bill would install projects for clients alongside a very small crew. During those years supervision and layout was sometimes done between classes. "I remember a number of occasions attending classes coming straight from setting forms for a patio or installing flowers by myself," recalls Bill.
After completing his goal of a Law Degree, Bill’s choice was to remain in the contracting and landscaping business. His reasons for remaining in the contracting industry include: a sense of completion for a job well done; the work ethic; and the landscape, technical, and business administration skill sets that he has developed through the years. Bill has decided to continue his budding business by designing his business model. Regardless of his admittedly disorganized nature, Bill Kennedy pictures himself as part of a larger entity and this, in turn, helps him run his company in a more structured manner. "Instead of saying, ‘We'll be more organized when we get bigger,' we work very hard on our systems and methods of communications as though we are a bigger company."
| At the start of his business in 2000, while still at Texas A&M, Bill had only one employee: himself. In 2002 Bill hired Gail Wright as manager of Bill Kennedy Landscape. With over 20 year experience in the construction and green industry as a project manger and designer she brings a new element of expertise to Bill Kennedy Landscape."Anytime I have to make decisions about how to do something, I think of the lessons learned from being project manager for a large successful construction firm and provide the communication and details as though we are large firm," explained Gail. "For instance, even though we are very small company and projects are easily managed by an individual's memory and awareness; we commit ourselves to developing detailed checklists to process the components of our projects. I believe this creates a discipline to create a service delivery system our clients can depend upon and brag about." |  |

Bill Kennedy Landscape believes that when client communication breaks down relationships fall apart. Because of this belief, everyone at Bill Kennedy Landscape does their part to ensure we keep clients well informed of the work we do on their properties. One way we accomplish this is a detailed monthly listing of each maintenance item that should be performed on a client's property. We fine tune our schedule monthly based on the learned knowledge of the job and seasonal needs to ensure that each and every client receives the same high-quality landscape maintenance. We use top of the line professional equipment to make it easy for crews to maintain their high quality standard, and by servicing and cleaning equipment on a scheduled basis we ensure top performance from all of our equipment. We use the latest technology in scheduling, routing, and in field communications. Each crew is supplied with a daily work order that has a check list of regular maintenance items and the latest updates to the service schedule. |
