About Us
Over 40 Years in Business
Expert Landscape Design, Installation & Maintenance
Founded in 1975
In June 1975 Kevin Mulkern started his landscaping business with a tiny Datsun pickup truck, a mower and a few hand tools. He began with an 8 hour work week and a lot of time for surfing. Kevin’s goal was to provide the best landscape maintenance service in the state. Soon after Kevin’s wife Susan joined him in the business and there was a lot less time for surfing. From designing small commercial projects to maintaining 3 acre estates, Kevin’s range of landscape skills and customer service is unparalleled. Over the years Mulkern Landscaping has worked for thousands of local customers and his hope is there will be thousands more.
