Steve
Contractor
Originally from the Seattle, Washington area, Steve met Serina on a skiing trip in Portland. They quickly sensed a strong connection, and the rest is history. He moved back to Kauai with Serina in 2011, to help her take care of business. They got married in 2014 and had their son Cooper in 2015. Steve became a Licensed Landscape Contractor in 2016, after apprenticing with another landscape contractor and realizing he enjoyed the work.
With a degree and experience in mechanical engineering he takes pride in being able to fix whatever breaks, and also found an affinity with irrigation system troubleshooting and repair. He has a background in carpentry and building construction too, which quickly evolved into landscape construction. He manages the Seascapes installation crew, keeps all the machines and vehicles running, and fixes anything else that is needed. He thrives on getting his hands dirty and making the landscape plan dream come to life.
“The best thing,” he says, “is giving our clients something that will last. Like with carpentry, when you’re done with a job it’s really only going to go downhill from there. But with landscaping, it is only going to get better. Having happy clients… that’s the best thing.”
