Landscape & Beyond-how we started

Landscape and Beyond

Cousin Jeff has been in the landscape industry since 1998. He started from his family members being active in the industry. He started off working for them and learning the trade. At the age of 12 he was working the landscape maintenance side by getting dropped off on a job sites and pulling weeds and cleaning leaves.

Time goes on and Jeff is running a 150 acre project at 16 years old. Soon two years later, he is leading the landscape maintenance division in San Diego. By then I had a few solid years in the trade and moves to doing landscape construction side installing irrigation.

 

Advanced Stuff

At JoomlaShine.com, we put great efforts in optimizing our templates performance by multiple techniques like image sprites application, clean html code output and now one new step – CSS/JS Compression.

What it does is to combine all CSS/JS files into a single file and deliver it in GZIP compressed state to browser. This feature significantly reduce http request number to server as well as overall loading size, which results in 35% performance boost.
