MEET OUR CREW - DELBERT LEAVITT

Delbert Leavitt joined Agave Landscapes in December 2008. A second generation Las Vegan, he grew up with his brothers maintaining the grounds of the apartment and commercial buildings owned by his parents. After graduating from Las Vegas High School in 1984, he moved his family to Arizona were he attended college specializing in architectural and computer aided drafting, earning a spot on the Academic Dean’s list.  He returned to Las Vegas after graduation and began a career with Nevada Power Company as a project engineer / designer.

Delbert always had landscaping jobs to do in his off time, and after a few years of growing his hobby eventually left Nevada Power to pursue the landscaping business full time. After earning his contractors license and becomming a certified Water Smart Contractor with the Las Vegas Valley Water District, he spent the next ten years building his business. In the summer of 2008 Del merged his business with Norm Schilling, of the Schilling Horticulture Group. If you have ever heard Norm on the local NPR radio station, then you know him as one of the most experienced and respected landscapers in Las Vegas. Agave is now lucky to have Del as a part of our growing and successful team.

Del is currently completing his A.S. degree in horticulture management. Delbert and his family enjoy camping, fishing, and riding 4-wheelers. He is also an official (referee) with the Southern Nevada Officials Association, specializing in football and basketball, and serves in the Boy Scouts. Del has a lovely wife, three boys two girls and one new grandchild.
