When did you start WD Yards? 1985.

Can you believe this is your 30th anniversary in business? Its pretty exciting to think we are celebrating our 30th anniversary. We have had thirty years of working with great people.

How did you get involved in lawn care and landscaping? The lawn mowing actually started a couple of years prior to 1985 with me as a kid not old enough to drive, mowing lawns in my parents neighborhood with a little mower and borrowed gas from my dads truck. Soon after I was mowing a lot of lawns and even got my first business cards. Through the years the little lawn mowing job turned into WD Yards. It is an American dream story come true.

How many employees did you have when WD Yards began? At first, I was just mowing lawns myself. When I had more customers than I could handle, I started hiring neighborhood kids. After I left for college in 1987, I partnered with my dad, David Christensen. My mother, Dixie Christensen also joined the team to run the office, and thats when what is now known as WD Yards was born.
