Shelby blends technology with hands-on trade expertise, bringing over 20 years of experience as an Operations Leader in the tech and logistics sectors. He applies a precision level of quality control and operational efficiency to every landscaping project, backed by a deep commitment to site safety and certifications in First Aid, CPR, WHMIS, and OPEP (weed control).

After years as a technology leader, Shelby has pivoted back to his roots in physical transformations. Inspired by his earlier professional work in re-foresting, he now leverages his project management skills to build custom outdoor spaces that are both structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing. Whether coordinating a landscape project or maintaining a precision-cut lawn, Shelby ensures every job meets the "IronKlad Guarantee" of reliability and excellence.

After many years in the tech industry, I felt a strong pull toward more hands-on, meaningful work. That journey led me into general contracting—finishing basements, building decks, and taking on a wide range of projects—where I re-discovered the true satisfaction that comes from seeing a transformation take shape from start to finish.

Eventually, I decided to focus on landscaping—work that allows us to be outdoors every day, much like the years I spent working in provincial parks when putting myself through school. Today, I take great pride in working alongside my business partner, Sheldon, transforming outdoor spaces—from delivering beautifully maintained lawns to designing and building custom decks and landscapes that truly elevate a home.
