Tim, a middle child of 6, wasn’t exactly a “normal” kid throughout his childhood. Some might say that he actually enjoyed chores! At around 9 years old, he began his career in lawn service by providing weekly mowing, and other property services to his grandmother, Nana.  He enjoyed learning from her about how to clean the concrete bird bath, maintain the roses, and the general proper ways to keep the yard looking neat and tidy!

After high school, Tim went to the local community college while living at home and working multiple jobs to help cover his expenses (and fund his somewhat extraordinary VW obsession). Through a friends referral, Tim was hired by a local lawn care business. It was there where Tim learned the importance of professionalism on the job site, the value of having the best service in the area, and occasionally, how being a business owner can be tough. Tim saw how a good service will sell itself, and considers his experience there to be the catalyst for his positive business mindset!

Tim went on to earn a BS in Chemistry from West Chester University. He quickly started his career studying the elements, manipulating the materials, and creating new compounds for research purposes. For 10 years, Tim would spend his days working as a chemist, until one day, a little bird whispered in his ear: “Start your lawn service company now!” He had fulfilled his passion for working as a professional chemist, and now was his chance to get out into the world, and start his lawn care business!

At this point, Tim, an ambitious husband and father of two, recognized the need for a reliable, high-quality property service company in Townsend DE. Tim and his wife Pauline ventured together to create Releaf Property Services committed to providing the DE and MD region with skilled workmanship and outstanding service at an affordable price.
