He plays an active role in the design and build of landscaping projects. Ian draws great personal satisfaction from transforming spaces for our clients and takes pride in the work of the talented crew members who bring their all to every Curbz project.

After spending 30 years behind a desk in the corporate world, Jude happily joined Ian in marriage and business as co-owner of Curbz. Jude oversees Marketing and Communications and is actively involved in recruiting, coaching and training. As an avid gardener herself, Jude loves nothing better than cultivating her own gardens.

During her free time, Dionne loves to spend time with her husband Rob and their children, Hailey and Brady. She's also an avid baker and often spends long hours whipping up delicious creations in her home kitchen.
Alexandra (Alex) Rachar
Landscape Designer
Alex is a talented designer who has been part of our team for almost ten years. Alex joined Curbz as a labourer and worked her way up to Foreman. This hands on experience gives her valuable insight to the design process that both crews and clients appreciate.
Even when she's not hard at work for our clients, Alex lives and breathes landscape design. Alex is a member of the Toronto Botanical Gardens and has successfully completed her certification in horticultural therapy. She holds several different landscaping certifications, including a Certificate in Landscape Design from Ryerson University along with multiple relevant certificates from Landscape Ontario.
James (Jimmy) Mugo
Foreman
Jimmy has been with Curbz for almost 6 years and came to us from Kenya. As a Foreman for Garden Reno, Jimmy brings common sense and expertise to the renovation of small urban gardens.
Jimmy is quick to share a laugh with clients and co-workers. He is an avowed family man and cherishes the time he gets to spend with his family.
Cameron (Cam) Nash
Operations Manager
Cam has been with Curbz for more than 6 years, working first as a foreman with strong masonry skills and more recently as Operations Manager.
As Operations Manager, Cam will be the liaison between the crews and company owners providing both parties with guidance and advice. His familiarity with all aspects of landscaping make him a great coach and mentor for our crews while providing strong administrative support to ensure all runs smoothly.
When he’s not trouble-shooting the business, Cam hones his craft as a photographer and filmmaker. He also can’t resist the pull of a great book.
Devon (Dev) Meron
Foreman
Dev has been with Curbz for four years, and has 10 years experience in landscaping. As a foreman on the design and build side, Dev is best known for his attention to detail while consistently striving for perfection.
With a diploma in Journalism and another in Sports and Nutrition, Dev is committed to living a healthy lifestyle and is an avid competitive hockey and baseball player. When he’s not on site, on the playing field or in the arena, Dev spends his down time as a member of a band producing a wide variety of music.
As busy as life gets for him, Dev always makes family and friends are a priority!
Gordon (Gord) South
Foreman
Gord joined Curbz two years ago, starting as a sub-contracted carpenter and this year joins us full time in the position of Foreman. While he considers his Accounting Diploma irrelevant to his career choice, Curbz and our clients benefit from Gord’s attention to detail and cost consciousness.
Gord has been building fences decks and other outdoor wood structures since he was 15 years old and confesses its still his first passion, followed by trying new tools and tool shopping as well as reading articles on Wikipedia.
The best part of the job according to Gord is the work itself; Carpentry being an art form provides a platform to satisfy his creative instincts. The fulfillment gained from transforming a client’s property into a complete oasis is just a bonus.
Gord’s hobbies include playing blues harmonica and building furniture in the off-season, but his first priority is his wife and their young family.
