James's career began in Chicago, where he worked his way up from the ground level to foreman, managing multiple residential construction projects simultaneously. His ability to coordinate crews, meet deadlines, and maintain quality standards earned him recognition in a competitive market.
After relocating to Florida, James pivoted his construction expertise to the pool and landscaping industry. His technical background allowed him to quickly master pool equipment systems, water chemistry, and HVAC integration. He leveraged his electronic and mechanical knowledge to provide value at pool maintenance and installation companies, learning the chemical and operational side of aquatic care.
Landscaping & Property Maintenance
Shawn has spent his entire career in lawn care and landscaping, building an impressive portfolio that spans Florida's most demanding clients and environments. His hands-on expertise ranges from basic residential maintenance to the precision required by high-end estate properties.
His resume includes maintaining prestigious properties in Boca Raton and Davis Island, where attention to detail isn't optional—it's expected.

With backgrounds in construction management, we know how to keep projects on track, crews productive, and clients informed.
We use professional-grade equipment, proven chemicals, and Florida-suited plant materials. No cutting corners.
