Jack was raised on a dairy
farm in Nebraska. His interest in horticulture
originated through 4-H. By Junior High,
while preparing fields for planting, Jack decided
that he was to become a landscape designer. At
sixteen, Jack started working for the local
nursery and landscaping company. He began
working at the bottom of the crews but soon
was leading his own crew and doing part time
design work. While in college, Jack worked
in the horticultural section for the Lincoln
Parks Department. He then spent 4 years
working as a full-time designer for a landscaping
firm in Lincoln, NE. Teaming up with
Bever Landscaping has now expanded the potential
for what a Jack Dorcey landscape can be. Jack
has a great ability to create spaces that make
a yard into part of your home. Clients
love his fun and laid back approach to the
experience of landscaping. |
