In 1986 the company began, at first it was my dad, my self and a helper. We had 2 wheel barrels and some shovals. I was working at St. Louis County Water at night and working the business during the day. This went on for several years until the business and Co Water began to suffer. I decided to make a go of the business. At this time my annural sales was about 70,000. I thought this was really doing well. I began hiring more people and equiptment. The business began to grow I really believe If you what you say, when you say, you would be very busy. I incorporated in 1996 and grew the business some more. We now have 16 employees, 8 trucks, 3 machines, and all kinds of tools. Our gross sales are over 1.5 million. The company could be larger but at this size I still have Artistic and quality control. I still work on projects as if they are at my own house. I truly enjoy the business and I get up every morning with a smile.
