Today we’d like to introduce you to Marc and Aniko Rains.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Marc and Aniko. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
My wife Aniko and I have worked side by side since 2004 in vegetation management. We got into this field as a request. At the time I was a tree specialist working for one of the largest Tree Specialist companies in Texas. Where I learned about trees, diseases, and the new and latest methods for safe land clearing and hazardous tree removal. I have been through countless hours of training methods with the T’s Brothers from Teas Nursery, to ropes and tackling certifications through the state. I then moved to the forestry division of my field where I learned the delicate nature of Texas state forestry. With my youth and eager to learn I started helping on a very large project to help eradicate unwanted dead trees and invasive species. I was then requested to take on one of Texas largest undertakings in this field, which called for all of my specialties and creative nature to build a specific company and service. My Wife and I traveled and did some extensive research on all of the latest technology. We visited Vermeer, Fecon, Bobcats, Gyro-trac, and at least 10 others. After purchasing equipment that was close to our idea, we went to work with passion and determination. We shortly learned that the equipment defiantly needed some specific touches to suite our needs, since most of the designs were for large full clearing applications, but not for our delicate nature of persevering Texas state forest and old growth trees. So we spent the last 12 years working close with these companies and helping with our demos and input to get the equipment where it is today.
After countless hours and work put in for us, 2014 marked the year for us and the industry, where all the technology finally hit the field. The new light foot print versions where making major strides and improvements to the industry. Now the machines have low ground pressure, protection, more horse power than ever before. So now all the adjustments had been made. We thought we were able to start really enjoying the fruits of our labor, but instead the oil field crashed and everyone with a little money in their savings went out and bought one of these machines and claimed to be experts. The industry began to get trashed very quickly with over 50 companies a year popping up that have no knowledge or leg work of the business, and doing poor work, that we have been going back over. We get an average of 3 calls a month to fix or go over these jobs. So we didn’t get any break. We immediately went back to work to save our industry. My wife learned how to do marketing and spend countless days and hours learning how to show off the good end of the industry and the positive side of this field. We started live reviews from real customers, since 90% of reviews you read on internet are from the owners or the employees. Our live reviews are from real customers who are traceable to prove the work was performed. We also have a YOUTUBE channel to help guide new companies and customers into making the right decisions in this field. We have struggled, but always prevail. We have had other companies, take our company name and put them on their signs, on the side of their vehicles, we even had people try to redirect our traffic to their website. Give us a chance to show that only one company is needed when the job is done right the first time.
When you contact us you will have either a happy voice, smiling face, or good old fashion hand shake to ensure you that you are communicating with a company that truly cares. As always God gives us the strength to overcome and be conquerors.
Blessings from our family to yours!
Has it been a smooth road?
There are new companies popping up overnight and they are trying to bully and steal from professional companies that have been in this industry for over a decade. It’s sad but true. We have people trying to steal our logo, mimicking our website address, deleting our advertising, and even bad mouthing other companies as a way to earn your business. If a company doesn’t get along with his competition, chances are they won’t be able to get along with you. DO YOUR RESEARCH before choosing a company. A legitimate company will have proof of liability insurance in case damages happen while mulching, you should always request referrals and actually call a couple of them just to make sure you get an honest response. Most of the “reviews” you read on websites are written by the owners.
If you don’t choose our company, that’s okay, there are many reputable, honest companies, but sometimes the bad ones are camouflaged in. We earn business by being honest with our customers, and we have a great reputation, and we pride ourselves on that. 50% of our business are past clients and referrals from past clients. We support Veterans, Fireman, and law Enforcement and have several on our staff. If you are any of these, please mention and that will be taken into consideration.
