About Us

Thomas Flint Landscape Design & Development was started in 2004 with myself and 2 employees. Our focus was the same in 2004 as it is now, constructing high quality outdoor living spaces and swimming pools while offering the best customer service and experience in the industry.

We do not cut grass or do maintenance we focus purely and only on construction. The company has grown to 19 employees over the last 12 years all of which have been hand selected because they have the right attitude and mindset to fit the framework of the company. Our people are dedicated to the trade and our customers, we love our jobs! The proof is in our portfolio.
