    “My background is in marketing and I was actually an executive with Foley’s department store at one time,” Morales said.  “A friend of mine asked me to come into the landscape business with him. 

“I thought about making a career change, got into the industry and found I really enjoyed it.  I liked the fact that you can see the results of your efforts.”

At first, Morales says he began to work with suppliers, took several continuing education courses and learned the business mostly by field experience.

With a new vision in mind, Morales started GreenScape Associates in 2004. His wife, Regina, is the company president.

  Key employees are Morales’ son Justin, operations manager and project coordinator; Brett Legendre, project manager and landscape architect and Sean Donnell, estimator.

“Justin, Brett and Sean are all very talented young men,” Morales said.  “They are taking the business to the next level with their information technology (IT) knowledge.”

According to Morales, the GreenScape Associates facility on Bryan Road was completed in May 2009.

“We started working on plans three years ago,” he said. “We wanted something that we could not only call home for our business but also be able to give back to the community.  We have had several community functions already.”

Morales said playing golf is one of his favorite hobbies, although he doesn’t get to play as often as he would like.

“We will occasionally participate in golf tournaments,” he said.  “In addition, we used to do a lot of hunting.”

In his extra time, Morales is on the education foundation boards for Lamar Consolidated and Spring ISD, the West Fort Bend Management District board and the Oak Bend Medical Center Advisory board.
