FNGLA Certified Landscape Designer
FNGLA Certified Horticulture Professional
Florida Water Accredited Irrigation Professional

Robert’s passion for horticulture runs deep, tracing back to his roots in Hawaii, where his great-great-grandparents emigrated as agricultural workers from the Portuguese island of Madeira. Growing up, his love for plants and landscaping was nurtured by his grandmother and father, spending summers in the Hawaiian Islands, a source of continuous inspiration.
With a background in Horticultural Studies, Robert launched his career at Spring Hill Nursery in Apopka, FL in 1999. In 2000, he founded Higher Power Lawn Care, offering maintenance, irrigation, and landscape services. Three years later, Robert became the Managing Partner for Better Lawns and Garden, expanding services to over 120 residential and commercial clients. In 2006, Robert sold the lawn maintenance division of Better Lawns and Garden to focus entirely on landscape design. This led to the creation of BLG Environmental Services, specializing in landscape, hardscape, and outdoor lighting design and installation.
In 2017, Robert became a Certified Professional Landscape Designer with the FNGLA (Florida Nursery, Growers, and Landscape Association), the largest state nursery and landscape association in the country. Over the years, he has designed, consulted, and managed hundreds of residential estates, adding significant value to millions of dollars in real estate through his vision and expertise.
As a principal at BLG Environmental Services, Robert is deeply involved in every project, working closely with clients and project teams to ensure the highest level of satisfaction. He frequently visits job sites and is available for consultation throughout the project’s lifecycle.

He is actively involved in his church, enjoys playing golf, and cherishes spending summers with his family in the Colorado mountains, where they love to hike and explore nature.

We retained BLG for a complete landscape renovation of a +6,000 square foot lake front home situated in a gated community in Windermere, FL. ... read more The renovation included all surrounding sides of the house / property and pool area and also included nearly 70 lighting elements and landscape rocks as well. Robert is the owner of BLG and his landscape design plans were meticulous and thorough (including legends, sizes, gallons, location / lighting markings, etc.); the plans addressed all of the details / questions of our HOA (known to be very inquisitive / stringent and challenging to deal with). His plans included tremendous variety (i.e. things we did not know existed) and color and also addressed mature privacy screening needs (e.g. issues of gaining substantial additional privacy over an existing 6-8 foot mature hedge); it was a great design (beautiful and creative) that essentially needed no revisions. A few noteworthy things if you are considering BLG for a significant project: (1) When they start your project, they will not leave or take days off until it’s done. They arrive and leave at consistent times. They do things by the book and are not shlocky. (2) They are very firm on price, but that works both ways when the work unfolds. For example, when certain inevitable wrinkles come up on the job, you will not be hit for more money. They stand by their estimate and will eat additional costs if need be (assuming of course you are not the one making unforeseen changes to the plans). (3) During the entire install, a foreman is on property every day (Danny); he is great to work with, eager to please, approachable, and, communicates very well. They really make you feel like they are there to get it right and want to make sure you are happy. You never feel like you are bothering anyone if you have a question or a tweak you want made. (4) They have great attention to detail, including on the small things (and without you thinking or asking). For example, they bring in a porto potty for their crew; they paint all of your exposed sprinkler pipes black (so they better blend); they paint exposed pipes near landscape elements brown so they better blend; any wood that supports newly planted palm trees, they also paint brown to look more natural, etc.; when sod is put down, they circle around with a masher to make sure no lumps and completely level, etc. I would definitely hire them again and you can trust them with a sizable job, especially if you are an attention to detail kind of person!

Robert and the BLG Environmental team have been great to work with. The vision Robert put together and presented us for our front and backyard... read more exceeded expectations. From his plant and flower suggestions to colors and placement, our yard received a much-needed upgrade. We also appreciated the open communication with Robert and his project manager, Danny. During the duration of the project, Danny kept us informed on the timeline and answered any questions that we had along the way. It’s now been a couple of weeks since the project ended, and the front yard is doing great — we receive many compliments on it from neighbors. Unfortunately, there are still a couple of drainage issues with the backyard. However, we’ve had drainage issues since moving in, and Robert and his team were helping to mitigate it as part of the project scope. We are currently in touch with Robert about it and will be doing some additional modifications if the drainage does not improve. We’ll post an updated review in the coming weeks once these challenges have been solved.

BLG Environmental Services has designed and installed three distinct landscape projects at our home over the years. The owner is hands-on, which I sincerely... read more appreciate. He designs the work and delivers as promised. On Project #2, BLG installed LED lighting for us which we love! They also installed a new sprinkler system for us (on Project #1) and they check the system anytime they come to our home. Robert stands behind all his work and is extremely dependable. I would recommend BLG to anyone. Honest, Dependable, and Excellent work.
