About Schott Services

  My name is John Schott, and I am the owner and founder of Schott Services. I have been in the lawn, landscape, and horticulture field for over 20 years. In my early teenage years, I started working at a local south side greenhouse for one of the greatest employers ever! I learned so much about how to treat customers fairly and to operate a small business. More importantly, I gained a life long mentor and friend. I quickly discovered I had a passion for the outdoors and learning on the fly. I enjoyed working with my hands, being in nature and getting dirty. No suit and tie for me! I realized traditional schooling was not for me. I received an education that could never be taught in a classroom! 

 

A few years later I began working with another southside small business owner (equally as great as the first mentioned) who provided ​lawn and landscape services. I worked with him for three years and realized my calling in life. I needed to start my own business. Amazingly, God blessed me with not just 1 mentor/friend, but 2! Both of these fine gentlemen taught me everything I know to be a hard working, honest and top notch small business owner. I am forever grateful. I purchased my own "old" pick up truck, trailer, and mower. With much encouragement from both of these amazing men, Schott Services was born. With continued support from my parents, wife and family the business keeps going strong. And, as they say the rest is history!
