I have owned and operated Jay-Crew Landscape for the past 15 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 Yorktown YMCA. Owning rental properties in Delaware County keeps me busy as well. My wife, Darcy, and I enjoy spending time with friends and family. We welcomed our first child, a son named Micah on October 4, 2009. Micah has changed our lives…for the better and we really are enjoying learning how to be parents. 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 eighth year with the company. I studied landscape architecture and natural resources while getting my degree at Ball State University. I have more than 20 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.

Hello my name is Todd Stone and, I am a proud member of the fine staff here at Jay Crew. 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 20 years. (it might be 19, I think!) Well it's been a long time! LOL. My daughter Tayler is involved in volleyball, my son Tate is 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 this 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.

Hello, my name is Jan Phelps and I'm the Office Manager at Jay-Crew. In the morning I'm usually the one who answers the telephone. If there are questions about your account, you can talk with me about them. We strive at Jay-Crew to provide exceptional service to our clients and I hope to do just that on a daily basis. I truly enjoy what I do each day.

My background is varied-from teaching high school for several years, to working in the Information Services 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 more than 20 years. During my leisure hours I love to scrapbook, make my own greeting cards using rubber stamps, read and volunteer at my church.

When I am not a work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Maetta, our children and grandchildren. I also enjoy reading, travel, sports, music and gardening. We are very active in our local church and have a strong interest in international volunteer service projects.

If I can assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to call me.

Hi, my name is Rick Pedigo and I am the irrigation manager at Jay-Crew Landscape. I have worked at Jay-Crew since 2002 and have been doing irrigation since 1988. I am experienced at both commercial and residential installation. My experience extends to maintaining and repairing all types of irrigation systems.

My duties include designing, installing, and servicing all systems that come through our company. I take great pride in making sure any system that Jay-Crew does is quality-installed.

Originally from Indianapolis, I moved to Muncie in 2002. I have two adult children. I've been a die-hard Colts fan since they moved to Indy in 1984. I've also been a Jeff Gordon fan for just as long. Most Sundays you will find me in front of my TV watching football or a race.

Feel free to address any concerns or questions you might have to me any time you see me.

I'm Cornelio Diaz and I am the maintenance foreman at Jay-Crew. This is my sixth year at Jay-Crew and I've worked here in the local landscape industry for more than 18 years.

I've lived in Muncie for more than 20 years. My wife Kim and I have a daughter and a son. When I'm not working at Jay-Crew, I like to spend my time with my children and working in my own yard.

I'm a team leader and I take great pride in the quality of our work at Jay-Crew. If you see me in your yard, feel free to ask me any questions you have.

I’m Steve Michael and I’m one of the crew leaders at Jay-Crew. I was born and raised in Anderson and started traveling to Muncie to work at Jay- Crew a few years ago. I started working in construction at the age of sixteen and that’s where I got my first experience in irrigation, landscape and hardscape projects.

I really enjoy the various clients we work with. My favorite is working on hardscapes. I have eighteen years of experience in construction, irrigation, and hardscape work. Some of my favorite projects include working on large, complex designs. Trying to figure out and solve multiple issues that can arise with these larger projects is challenging. I’m always up for a challenge.

You may have seen some of the projects I’ve worked on here in Muncie. One public project was the parking lot behind Scotty’s in the Ball State Village area. I also worked on retaining walls at Taylor University and have done several residential brick paver patios and walks around town—I also work on residential and commercial landscaping projects.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy fishing, camping, and spending time with my family.
