Angel Lawncare finds itself at a new location starting this month.

With a growing business, owner Erick Angel decided to expand his trade to 102 Railroad Avenue, the former location of Drinkard Construction. Angel said he is excited to get to work as he sets up his new business space, where he'll continue to offer lawn care services throughout the year.

Originally working out of his garage, Angel made the move to a bigger area after he began to acquire more equipment. As he continued to gain more business, he said he found what he now sees as a perfect location.

"Honestly, I chose this space because it was available," Angel said. "To have all this equipment and then run out of space, this spot was almost too perfect because it's right in the middle of town. My neighbors were actually the ones that suggested this for me. As soon as this came to the market, they told me about it and at first, I didn't know because it was kind of big and all that. But my wife convinced me to come over and look at it. We kind of fell in love with it from there and we decided to go for it."

Angel has been in the lawn care business since he was young. Working with a close friend and his friend's grandfather, Angel said he enjoyed being outdoors as he worked for his neighbors, friends and family. After many years of working, Angel and his wife had reached a place in their lives where he could do lawn care full-time.

Angel said he will be remodeling the new space beginning with the outside, as he hopes to add a retaining wall and a flower bed out in front. Creating a parking lot and potentially expanding his garage are also projects that Angel currently has in mind for his business. He said he would also like to decorate for the season, seeing as he is very fond of various holidays.

"I'm pretty sure everybody in town knows that I always decorate the house every year," Angel said. "I want to do Christmas displays or fall displays and all that out there in the future."

Angel said he and his wife plan to furnish and decorate the inside of their location as well, to make a comfortable area for the patrons.

With a larger business, the California community can expect more assistance from Angel Lawncare, Angel said. More space means that Angel can continue developing new services, such as hiring employees or renting out equipment to customers. He said he sees this as an opportunity to help the community at large and offer service whenever someone needs it.

"We're a family-owned business and we enjoy what we do," Angel said. "We're hard workers and if anyone ever needs anything, just give us a buzz. Even if we don't do it, we probably know somebody that can, so just know that we're around if there is ever a need."
