age: 38 | Irrigation and Hardscape Supervisor | Freeman Landscape

Jason Freeman designs and installs drainage, pavers, koi ponds, and irrigation systems for both commercial and residential locations for his family’s business, Freeman Landscape.  “Starting at the age of 16, I have always loved my craft, and I strive to be the best that I can be,” he mentions.  “I enjoy seeing my customers satisfied and happy with their new yard and outdoor living area as the end result.  Building things with my hands and being able to use my talents and creativity to provide enjoyment for others is very fulfilling to me.”

Jason takes pride in being known as a leader in the landscaping industry, specifically with koi ponds, drainage, irrigation, and hardscapes.  A licensed irrigator and licensed pesticide applicator, Jason is also certified in landscape lighting. “I dedicate a lot of my time continuing to learn how to improve my craft in order to continue growing and remaining as knowledgeable as I can regarding the outdoor industry,” he says.

Some of Jason’s greatest personal accomplishments include being a husband to wife, Kristen, and a father to three children, Kaitlyn, Jude, and Moriah. “Our oldest daughter, Kaitlyn, recently graduated from Pleasant Grove High School,” he says proudly. “If you have a teenager, you know how big of an accomplishment raising them can be!”  Jason also lost over 100 pounds last year. Regaining his health has really helped him see things from a different perspective, as well as provide him with the opportunity to accomplish even more things in life.

Throughout the years, Jason has taught classes for the Master Gardeners and was featured on a television show on a local channel informing others how to grow gardens organically by brewing compost teams.  He enjoys sharing his knowledge with others in order to help provide information that will help beautify the community.  In the near future, he will also be helping with some classes at Arkansas High School in their greenhouses to teach students how to grow plants and care for them successfully.  

As for the future, Jason hopes to be continuing to help beautify Texarkana and surrounding areas through landscaping and outdoor living. “It is always a joy to drive around town and see the projects we’ve worked on maturing and providing a more welcoming and scenic environment,” he explains. “Our family business has grown tremendously throughout the years, and I look forward to playing a big role in continuing to improve and grow our landscaping and outdoor living business in the future.”
