About

Hi! I’m Mario Real, the owner of Recon Landscaping. I started my landscaping journey in my sophomore year of high school, working for a hardscaping/ landscaping company. I’ve always loved being outside and working with my hands, so I figured this summer job would be a good way to make some money. What I didn’t expect was how much I’d love the work. From installing patios to planting huge trees, I was fascinated by the equipment, the process, and the results. Even when I was shoveling compost or running the weed whacker all day, I loved every bit of the hard work.

​

My friend and I eventually started our own little business, going door-to-door with business cards to rake leaves and shovel snow. Between school and varsity sports, we couldn’t go full-time so things slowed down. I loved sports, but my senior year I decided to go all-in on the business, stepping away from football and baseball to grow Recon Landscaping. It was a hard choice, but absolutely worth it.

​

Today, Recon Landscaping is a full-service, year-round business built on quality and attention to detail. No matter the job, we get it done right. True to our motto, “Jack of All Services,” we’re your one-stop shop for everything your yard needs and make it look great all year long.
