ACA began operations in October 1994 with two full-time employees, a truck, trailer and a handful landscape maintenance customers. Since our beginning, ACA has focused itself on providing industry-leading quality and service. It is these values that have propelled our referral-based growth to a $2,000,000/year company with an extensive resume of landscape projects that include both residential and commercial clientele.

Founder Damon Rockett, became interested in the landscaping business while working in the summers during high school.  He was gratefully taken under the wing of Bob Smith who taught him the ins and outs of the industry.  And after returning to West Palm Beach from Orlando in 1994, Damon started A Cut Above.  

"I decided on the name because I truly wanted to be 'a cut above' all the other landscape companies out there.  Down here in Florida, these companies are a dime a dozen, but quality work and high standards are something too few of us live up to." Damon says about the reason behind the company name.

Over the next few years, ACA grew to over 50 employees and eventually brought a Landscape Architect on staff, along with Irrigation Certified Technicians. "We sent our key employees to pest-control and irrigation certification courses, and had many of them get their CDL licenses." Damon comments.  "The more diversified our staff is, the more likely we are to acquire all aspects of a potential clients landscaping needs, not just monthly maintenance." 

"All in all, I am pleased with the growth rate we have maintained.  It was important to me for us to grow slowly, as I didn't want to outgrow my quality and service standards."  Currently, ACA services over 85 residential accounts monthly, maintains 18 residential complexes, and performs an average of 14 new landscape installs a month.
