Bob’s pioneering spirit and thirst for challenge were major contributors to the initial success of Drost Landscape, but his integrity, innovativeness and commitment to quality have ensured continued success with each passing year. Since 1991, Bob poured his time and energy into building a dream, and as a result, is recognized as an industry leader. After more than 20 years, Bob still enjoys talking about the landscape trade with new and old friends. He feels truly blessed to have turned a passion into a career.
Originally from Charlevoix, MI, Bob has been married to his High School sweetheart, Diane, for over 30 years. They raised two sons (Travis and Dustin) who have become integral parts in the family business. Travis, the oldest, helps with project management and sales. Bob’s younger son, Dustin, builds custom hot tubs, water features and spectacular stone work including walls and naturalizing stone placement. Bob is proud that his sons are ready to carry forth his legacy. Bob also enjoys snowmobiling, water sports, sports cars and regularly attending Walloon Community Church.
