Steve Stauffer, Certified NCMA Advanced Segmental Retaining Wall Installer

Landscaper, Steve Stauffer, has attained the necessary certifications from the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) for designing and building landscape retaining walls. Steve is also a registered technician, qualified to apply fertilizers and herbicides in the State of Indiana. Steve attends the Indiana Nursery and Landscape Association (INLA) conference in Indianapolis every January with his wife, Sue, to keep up with the new developments and techniques in landscaping. Together they have learned by experience what works well for them and their customers, and that is part of the reason Stauffer’s Dream Garden has been complaint free. To be accredited by the Indianapolis BBB a business or organization affirms that it has been operational (actively selling products or services) in any BBB service area for at least the most recent 12 months (Stauffer’s Dream Garden has been in business since 2002) and fulfill all licensing and bonding requirements of applicable jurisdictions (Stauffer’s Dream Garden is fully licensed and insured).

Newest Certifications

Steve and Sue continually keep their certifications up to date and continue to learn and be certified in new things in order to bring you the best, most informed decisions and care for your landscape. Most recently, The National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) has certified that Steve has passed a written evaluation and has thereby earned the credential of Certified Segmental Retaining Wall Installer – Advanced (CSRWI-A). The NCMA Certified Segmental Retaining Wall Installer – Advanced Certification Program verifies knowledge of advanced principles and recommended residential and small commercial installation guidelines of segmental retaining walls. NCMA does not certify capacity, competence, ability, performance capability, ethical or professional conduct, or experience, but is does certify knowledge of retaining wall installations, which is one thing Stauffer’s Dream Garden does best.
