 Centerville
Landscaping started
as a part time job of Mr. Robert Shields
while he was employed at Mound Laboratories.
In those days, the company focused on
seeding, lawn repair, and garden roto-tilling.
When his son Tom Shields took over the
business in 1986, he added irrigation
installation, commercial and residential
landscaping, and construction projects
consisting of waterfalls and paver patios.
 Jim
Teske became Tom's partner in 1998 and
is in charge of the sales/design staff.
The company prides itself on being a
full service company; which means that
they start with a design produced by
landscape architects and landscape designers,
select materials, bring in necessary
equipment, and then follow up the work
with continued maintenance.
It is not unheard of to have the same
customer return with additional projects
over a 10-15 year period. There are
customers that had Centerville Landscaping
do their first house and are now on
house two or three that continue to
find benefits from the services of Centerville
Landscaping. |

Picture Perfect Landscapes - learning, practicing, and mastering the art of landscaping by Jim Teske-landscape architect
This book has been years in the making. Try thirty. In some ways it is a celebration of thirty years in the landscape industry. This book goes through a logical progression, from inspiration, development of a style and outdoor rooms to the use of rock and stone, pavers, and woodwork. Lots of pictures of idea, materials, and problem solving. Using a similar format to the Centerville Landscaping website, this book is an expanded portfolio that can be used to organize your next project. Also available is a CD with even more pictures, all sorted by category for easy reference. Looking for a waterfall, there are over 50 to choose from. Years of experience come alive and are easily to access. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this book is the full conversation
