IT TAKES A VILLAGE to raise a child. For some of us, that village is Lincoln. Whether we stumbled upon this close-knit, well-rounded and diverse community by accident and fell in love, or whether we chose Lincoln for one of it's many special qualities, we happily make the choice year after year to call this place our home. Many of us buy locally whenever possible, contribute our time or other resources to the growth and development of the Lincoln community, and focus on creating a safe and nurturing home base for our youth. Our village is strong and has turned out many happily contributing young citizens.
Nicolas Marquez, a successful Lincoln entrepreneur, is an example of this. He moved here with his family in 1987 as a young child and has been here ever since. This was long before the Del Webb Community, or Lincoln Hills, was constructed paving the way for rapid population growth in Lincoln. "There were roughly 6,000 people", recalls entrepreneur. "I essentially grew with Lincoln". As a former Fighting Zebra and Lincoln High School Alumni, Nic felt a calling to remain where his heart was. His only challenge -- he needed to satisfy his natural entrepreneur while having flexibility within his schedule to remain involved and productive within his community.
In November of 2008, Nic found a way to accomplish this by founding Total Yard Design and Landscape. Built on solid principles such as integrity and strong ethics, Nic vowed to always do the best by the customer instead of his bottom line. His philosophy -- there's no job to small when it comes to serving the needs of the customer. Providing any service from maintenance to debris removal to full installations, Nic uses Total Yard Landscape and Design as a vessel through which to serve our community and surrounding areas, making beautiful landscaping available to everyone. This philosophy has manifested growth for Total Yard Design, which has contributed to the positive impact that successful local businesses have on our village.
Nic's weekly schedule reflects that success. He retains enough maintenance accounts to solely cover a five day work week, which he had to increase from four to meet the demand. Additionally, he has provided five major installations this year alone, although in prior years, he averaged three per year. He keeps a tight schedule and spends his days within one geographical area whenever possible. Despite his busy schedule, he finds time to coach wrestling and track at Lincoln High School as well as volunteer regularly with the Heritage Church. With a big smile on his face, Nic tells me how he was recently involved with the Kid Zone at Heritage and how much fun the kids were having. He also invites opportunities to help with events offered through the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. This also enhances our village and encourages community involvement from others.
There's nothing more powerful than when life comes full circle in a positive way. Lincoln gave Nic what he needed to become the kind of man who looks to give Lincoln what it needs. Seeking to help Lincoln citizens achieve their visions while molding the next generation of leaders, Nic is exactly the kind of business owner that Lincoln needs. He is local, professional, and talented, and makes our village a better place through youth development. His methods are skillful and he truly enjoys his craft! Call Nic today at 916-276-0337 or email him at nmarquez7981@gmail.com. You'll enjoy his work AND feel great about helping our little Lincoln village!Mitzi De La Cruz
