Dian Aversano established Island Details Landscape & Maintenance 26 years ago, transforming a chance encounter at a local service station into one of Bainbridge Island’s most prominent outdoor design firms.
Despite arriving with limited financial resources and no immediate employment, her background in property management and structural design remained a vital asset.
By the time the company made its first appearance at a local home show at Woodward, Aversano found that her reputation had already preceded her, with a line of potential clients waiting to discuss their outdoor projects.
This shift has changed landscaping from a seasonal chore into a year-round property management priority.
The phrase "We built that" serves as a collective mantra for her and her team, reflecting a sense of ownership over the island's evolving physical appearance.
