Mass. Landscape Contractor Can Use Paver Restraint on the Job

Anita Gottschalk designs and installs landscapes that incorporate pavers, so her sweepstakes prize is something she can use. She entered a recent Lawn & Landscape online sweepstakes and won a pallet of Dimex’s paver restraint, a one-piece restraint system that is heavy and durable, yet flexible enough to preserve curves. 

Gottschalk works for her husband’s company - Garrick-Santo Landscape Co. in Malden, Mass., just north of Boston. There she works on the design and implementation of various landscape projects, about 70 percent of them residential and the rest commercial.

The company, which also offers full maintenance service, has about 26 employees. Gottschalk has been with the company for 18 years.

Rykse, who works with about 25 other employees, manages a team of eight. He has been with the company for 5 years. It is his first job after completing the Michigan State University turfgrass program.

Besides lawn maintenance, DeVisser Landscape Service offers landscape design and install, irrigation and snow removal. The company also offers fertilizing through its Weed-Man franchise ownership.
