Learn More About Our Landscape Team

In 1955, Shelly Dubofsky loaded a manual reel blade push mower and some hand trimmers into the trunk of his father’s Oldsmobile ’88 and started mowing lawns in the neighborhoods of Chicago. Realizing he could make some money and put himself through school, he worked countless days and hours before and after school and on the weekends and began the start of Shelly’s Landscape Contractors, Inc.
