I have owned and operated Jay-Crew Landscape for the past 11 years. I started mowing yards while I was a student at Yorktown High School. I got more experience when I worked for the Players Club Golf Course as a maintenance worker. That job led to more lawn and landscaping work around the Club.

While completing my accounting degree at Ball State, I started Jay-Crew. As the owner of the business, I know what Harry Truman meant when he used the slogan "the buck stops here." Working with clients to find solutions for their landscaping needs is the most important part of my job.

When I'm not working at Jay-Crew, I enjoy golf and exercise. I also follow baseball, basketball and football--both college and pro teams. I serve on the board of the Delaware County Youth for Christ organization. Owning rental properties in Delaware County keeps me busy as well. My wife, Darcy, and I enjoy spending time with friends and family. We attend Union Chapel Ministry regularly.

Our mission at Jay-Crew is to provide exceptional products and services to our clients by a highly trained and enthusiastic staff that uses proven horticultural and construction practices of the highest industry standards. We plan to do that on a daily basis for all our customers. Any time you have questions, want an estimate, or simply want to talk, please call the office and ask for me.

I'm the landscape designer and sales manager at Jay-Crew. This is my fifth year with the company. I studied landscape architecture and natural resources while getting my degree at Ball State University. I have more than 17 years of experience in the landscape design/build industry. My responsibilities at Jay-Crew include preparing designs and/or estimates for both residential and commercial landscape projects.

I really enjoy working with clients to find appropriate solutions for their landscape needs. I am conscientious about finding creative yet practical designs that address the desires of the customer and the site conditions of their particular property. The unique challenges each project brings make them interesting.

When I'm not working at Jay-Crew I enjoy hunting, fishing and spending time with my wife, Amy, and our daughters Abby and Colleen. The girls keep us very busy with their involvement in school activities, sports, and 4-H.

I'm excited to be here at Jay-Crew Landscape and I look forward to meeting many of you and taking care of your landscaping needs.

Hello my name is Todd Stone and I would like to introduce myself. I am the latest addition to the fine staff here at Jay Crew Landscape. I spent the first 20 some years of my working life in the home improvement industry. Over that 20 year span I was trained to exceed customer expectation. Due to the twists and turns of life I left the home improvement industry in 2003. This left me with some choices on what to do with the rest of my professional life. After a year or two of searching I landed here. I had met Jason Brooks through a mutual friend during those two years. One day it dawned on me that my training in customer service would possibly be a good fit with Jay Crew. I contacted Jason, we met and the rest you are reading right now. I began in '07 mowing lawns (many of yours) and have moved to a sales/service roll. I have been around a lot of service companies in a lot of different fields, and I must say that Jay Crew is certainly a fine organization and I am fired up to be a part of it.

If not at work I am participating in sporting events with my children and wife of 18 years. (it might be 19, I think!) Well it's been a long time! LOL. My daughter Tayler is 15 and involved in volleyball, my son Tate is 11 and loves baseball and basketball. My wife Tisha is my rock and has proven to be my best friend. Other then attending sporting events we hang out together and attend church together. I love the outdoors. Anything to do with hunting or fishing we participate in.

In closing I would like to say that I am excited to get things rolling in the '08 season. I look forward to meeting many of you and taking care of your landscaping needs. I look forward to proving my words by my actions.

I'm Don Lemon and this is my 7th year with Jay-Crew, and I have held several positions growing to be a team leader/manager. I am a seasoned veteran with more than 10 years in the landscape industry. My duties include job scheduling and coordination of our landscape projects. Being at the job site and providing support for our teams is important to me.

I completed the Indiana Master Gardner Program and am a member of several professional organizations and online forums. It's important for me to try to keep up with the new trends, plants, and methods in the landscaping industry. As a result, I have attended several classes and seminars and continue to do so over the winter months each year.

When I'm not at Jay-Crew or on a jobsite, I spend time as a volunteer for the Muncie Children's Museum maintaining the Garden in the Outdoor Learning Center. I also landscape my own property and grow tropical plants in my greenhouse. I'm originally from Ohio but have lived in Yorktown with my understanding wife, Toni and our three children for seven years.

Don't hesitate to call me about the work being done at your site (765.289.5296).

My background is varied-from teaching high school for several years, to working in the Information Service Department at a Fortune 200 company to owning my own retail floral and gift shop (in partnership with my sister). I hold bachelor's and master's degrees in business education and have worked in offices for many years.

My husband, Mick, and I both graduated from the Master Gardeners' program a few years ago. We designed and maintained extensive flower gardens/beds (as well as planting a variety of deciduous trees) on 7.5 acres at our last home.

While we are Randolph County natives, we have lived in Delaware County for nearly 20 years. During my leisure hours I love to scrapbook, make my own greeting cards using rubber stamps, read and volunteer at my church.

Originally from Indianapolis, I moved to Muncie in 2002 so my wife could be closer to family. I've been married since 1986 and have 2 children.
