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.
