A walkthrough of the coolest landscape project I worked on
This project was my first at the company. I remember I had just graduated highschool with no prior manual labor experience, so the July heat and my virgin blistered hands made my first two months a real struggle to survive.
My job was to stack the pavers next to my foreman to keep him “fed” to keep laying them quickly. I tried wearing gloves because I rubbed off my fingerprints carrying the pavers all day, but they taught me that real men don’t wear bitch mittens.
I loved my crew, my foreman was the best guy I have ever had the pleasure of working for. Around a year in, I herneated two of my disks on the job, and that was the last of this amazing job.
I still miss the smell of early morning dew on the soil of a summer jobsite.
