Twenty seven years ago, Rob and I got married and started our family almost immediately. Our three kids, Brook, Jenna, and Clayton, are hands down the greatest blessings of our lives. From the very beginning, they’ve been our "why", the reason we’ve worked so hard, pushed through challenges, and dreamed big. We always wanted to build something meaningful for them.

Never in a million years did we think that through all the ups and downs, we’d end up running a successful landscaping business, and now, opening a landscape yard with a gift shop. It’s something we used to daydream about, having a space of our own where we could support other small businesses and give back to the community that’s supported us.

Together, Rob and I have over 26 years of experience in the landscaping industry. Working side by side hasn’t always been easy, but I truly couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone else. When we decided to expand by opening the landscape yard, our goal was simple , to offer the community a more convenient, local source for landscaping materials.

The gift shop, on the other hand, started as a spark of an idea from Rob that quickly took on a life of its own. He pointed out something that really stuck with me, for all the people who visit Lamoka and Waneta Lakes, there isn’t a place nearby where they can take home a keepsake that reflects just how special these lakes are. We wanted to change that. Our goal is to give people a way to bring home a little piece of this beautiful area and to celebrate the spirit of the community around it.

One of the best parts of owning a business is the incredible people you meet along the way, the friendships, the connections, the stories. Our landscaping business has already brought so many amazing people into our lives. And now, with the gift shop, we can’t wait to see who walks through our doors next.
