Our Staff
Our staff is comprised of four distinct units; design, support, construction and maintenance.Currently there are three full time designers; Gene de la Foret, Shawn de la Foret and Lori Bolt. Lori is a Saint Joseph native that has developed an excellent vision on how people interact within the landscape. She graduated from the University of Michigan has traveled to several areas of the country where she progressed her skills within the landscape community. After returning to the area several years ago, she continues to beautify our corner of the world with the natural talent and vision that she possesses for Landscape design. Gene is the owner of the company, who with the help of his son Shawn, oversees the day to day operations of Nature's Way. Together, the three designers are the visionaries behind the beautiful projects that you see here on our site.
The office manager is Laura Rosenthal who takes care of the office, providing additional support to the designers along with Nicole de la Foret, the owners' daughter.
We have nine landscape construction crews and one perennial maintenance crew. The various crews are led by a Landscape Expert who is responsible for taking the landscape drawing and bringing it to life.
Our crew size generally averages between three and four people, yet can be as many as ten to twelve depending on the size of the project and the type of work to be accomplished.
The perennial maintenance crew visits their assigned residential and commercial properties as often as requested to weed, fertilize, prune or do whatever is necessary to keep that property looking its best.
