History
Established in 1988.
Francisco Cortes started his business with a passenger car and a shovel. Twenty-eight years later, he's the owner/operator of a thriving green-certified landscape contracting business with nine full-time employees, Green Environment Landscape, Inc.
But Watsonville-based Green Environment Landscape does more than just design landscapes and plant vegetation. Cortes' concept for the business is to incorporate the design and implementation of the entire outdoor landscape of a home or structure, from plants, lighting and waterscapes to patios, decks, stamped and stained concrete, irrigation, drainage and arbors. And do it while saving water and adhering to certified green landscaping techniques.
Green Environment Landscape is one of the few green-certified landscapers in Central California that can virtually assure a savings of 40-50 percent on water consumption. And to accomplish it without having to turn your green yard or garden into a parched desert landscape.
Meet the Business Owner: Francisco C.
"I like hardscaping, working on arbors, waterfalls, retaining walls, patios and working with lighting. It's a challenge," says Cortes, who also changed the name to better reflect what his business offered. He sees landscaping and hardscaping going hand in hand in the ultimate design and success of a project.
After spending half of his life in the landscaping industry, Cortes' motto is simple, but highly effective: "Do the job right the first time. If the client still isn't satisfied, make it right." Rarely has he had to redo a project.
"If I do a job, there's not going to be any callbacks," Cortes says with a confidence built on 28 years of hard work and honesty. "If it's not right, no excuses, I'll take care of it. I will make sure the client is satisfied."
There's nothing more important in business to Cortes than gaining the trust of his client and doing quality work.
