Entrepreneur: Armando Avila
Start Up Graduation: December 2003
Story
I immigrated from Senguio, Michoacan, a small agricultural town in Mexico, in 1998. When I started working on small gardening projects in the Bay Area, I was naturally drawn to this line of work because of my upbringing on a farm. I enjoy working outside and being able to use my creativity and passion for nature while helping clients enjoy their homes.
My long-term goal is to expand my business to include landscaping services. I am currently working with a few clients to help hone my gardening and landscaping skills. I'm excited about my business' growth prospects and plan on continuing to use Start-Up's services to help me accomplish my goals.
Services
I founded Avila's Garden Services 10 years ago, and the company's business has steadily increased in the last decade. I provide lawn care and maintenance services to residential areas from San Jose to San Mateo on the Bay Area Peninsula.
