Dallas native, Jason Craven, began mowing neighborhood lawns when he was 12 years old to earn money for a new bicycle. His entrepreneurial spirit and attention to detail kept him going long after he bought that bike, and many of his original clients and employees are still with the company today. As Jason says, “there’s nothing magic about our services – we simply set high standards, do what we say we are going to do, and treat people right along the way.” Southern Botanical’s unique culture of service and achievement attracts talented team members and loyal clients to this day.
