As a boy, he began working on the maintenance crew of his grandfather’s 27-hole golf course. And when his grandfather decided to design and build nine more holes, he enlisted the by then teenager’s help. Pete was instantly hooked and embarked on a lifetime journey of creating beautiful and functional homes and gardens. From a single-truck operation, founded in 1972, performing lawn maintenance and tree and shrub planting, Pete’s company continues to grow and thrive today, encompassing all aspects of residential design-build services - from conceptual designs to architectural details, construction services to project management, swimming pools to perennial gardens, kitchens, baths, furnishings and everything in between. Through an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, Pete and his team have emerged as a design-build industry leader known today as The Blackwood Group.
