MountainScapes – For The Yard of Your Dreams – Today
Friday, April 1st, 2022 | Uncategorized | No Comments
In this month’s Mountain Views, we would like to present an interview with Reed Perestam and Casey Sinclair, the owners of a local company, called MountainScapes. They are a pair of hardworking, young entrepreneurs that create and install great-looking landscapes and hardscapes in the areas of Tellico Village, Rarity Bay, and the communities that are served by East Tennessee’s Mountain Views. Reed and Casey have now been in business about a year in the area and that seemingly hard-to-find customer service is a big priority for them.
We hope you enjoy our recent talk with Reed Perestam and Casey Sinclair, the owners of MountainScapes.
MV: Tell us a little about yourselves.
Reed: I moved to Tennessee from Rochester, New York, after my sister moved here, leaving my job there as a welder. I came for one visit here and that was it. I made the decision to relocate. I played golf and basketball in high school and focused on lacrosse in college. Once I made the move to Tennessee, my partner, Casey, and I decided to start MountainScapes.
Casey: In college, I was a swimmer. Soon after Reed moved here, I also relocated, following my girlfriend, Reed’s sister, a UT pre-med student. Before I moved, I had a warehouse management position at a large pool and spa company. That’s where I got my training with landscaping, concrete, heavy equipment and more.
MV: How did you come to start MountainScapes?
Reed: We wanted to start our own business, since having some control of our own destiny was important to us. We originally began as a yard work firm focusing mostly on mowing and yard work. After a while, we found out that many of our customers also needed landscaping and hardscape design and installation.
Casey: Our backgrounds with landscaping, concrete, heavy equipment, and welding were a great fit for helping people with landscape and hardscape design and installation, so we moved very successfully into those areas. Lately, we have focused almost exclusively on landscaping and hardscaping.
MV: What is your definition of “hardscaping”?
Casey: Hardscaping can include paved areas, driveways, steps, retaining walls, water features, walkways, and any areas consisting of materials such as wood, stone, and concrete.
Reed: Generally, softscape involves living plants and such. Hardscape covers the parts of your yard that aren’t living. MountainScapes does both.
MV: Currently, contractors are so busy that customers have trouble getting ahold of them and, once they contact them, have challenges scheduling the job and communicating with the contractors. What is your customer service philosophy?
Reed: We are committed to returning phone calls and keeping our promises. We can provide references so new clients can get feedback from prior customers.
MV: Anything else you feel would be important to add?
Casey: We go above and beyond for our customers, and we are fully insured. Also, our estimates are always free. So, call or text us for a free estimate. You can call Reed at 865-936-7481 or Casey at 607-239-7335. Get started on the landscape of your dreams today!
