Brandon Eaton has just been named the newest Proven Winners Certified Landscape Professional.
In 2009, Eaton founded Five Star Lawn Service in Lexington, Missouri, as a one-man mowing service. After moving to Lee’s Summit in Missouri, the business slowly grew into a lawn and landscape business that provides landscape design and installation, irrigation installation, maintenance, and turf & ornamental applications.
Eaton currently holds many certifications that are applied daily in his landscaping business, including a Horticulture Certificate (soon to be a degree), ISA Certified Arborist, Keystone Certified Contractor . . . and now a Proven Winner Certified Landscape Professional.
Still, he says his most notable accomplishment was when his young daughter surprised him at her preschool graduation by telling everyone in the audience, “I want to be a ‘plant guy’ like my dad when I grow up.”
