Bob Tubby, Owner

Bob and his wife Mitzi started Arbordale in 1982 after graduating from the Humber College Horticulture program together in 1978. In addition to operating Arbordale Landscaping and Moonstruck Lighting Bob has gone on to be an instructor at Humber College, teaching Budgeting and Estimating to graduating students.

His love of the horticulture industry has shown itself through his dedication to Landscape Ontario Trades Association where he has served as President, chaired several committees and spearheaded the Prosperity Partners Program (aimed at improving the business skills of the general membership). Bob also carries a Certified Landscape Professional designation from the Canadian Nursery and Landscape Association.

Bob's passions lie with customer care, relationships, family life and being active in community and sports alike.

Doug has an honours degree in landscape architecture from the University of Guelph, and has studied art and design at the City of London Polytechnic in London, England. He has taught Landscape Construction at Seneca College, and continues to serve on the advisory board for Seneca’s Environmental Landscape Management program.

Doug decided early on in his career to focus on the design-build format and residential landscape design. He truly enjoys working with people to create their personal and private environments, and feels that the design-build format allows for greater involvement throughout the entire process. Doug is greatly influenced by the natural environment and continues to seek inspiration while enjoying outdoor activities such as canoeing and skiing with his family and friends.

Doug has been a member of the Arbordale team since 1988.
