South Florida’s Commercial Landscaping & Tree Service Experts Since 1998
It all started back in 1998, when Steve and Sharon Armstrong decided to start their own commercial landscaping business. For over 25 years, Design & Cut Landscape Services has thrived in the commercial landscaping and tree service industry by working closely with its clients and producing top of the line service.
Steve, DCLS Chief Operating Officer, was introduced to commercial landscaping by working during the summers of high school. After graduating from Florida State University in Finance, he started working at Stiles Corporation in 1987 as an Estimator in Landscape and Lawn Maintenance. Steve became Vice President of the division after 5 years of working up the ranks and maintained his role for another 6 successful years.
Longing to start a business with his wife, Sharon, Steve went to the head of Stiles and presented him with a package to take over some of the jobs that Stiles was letting go. Because of this crucial deal, Design & Cut Landscape Services, Inc. was able to hit the ground running.
Starting with just 1 truck, 1 trailer, and a small crew, DCLS now has 8 trucks, a bucket truck, an irrigation service van, and 6 crews. Thanks to the countless satisfied customers, word spread throughout the community and continues to do so today. Working closely with clients, building professional relationships, and producing satisfying results are the main goals of DCLS. So much so, that 90% of the original clients back in 1998 are still with DCLS today!
