About Shawn Boschert

Shawn Boschert is the founder of Swallowtail Lawn & Landscaping, based in Minneola, Florida, where he has lived for 22 years. Behind his seven-year-old business sits a career history that is genuinely impressive: Shawn served as Senior Director of Grounds at AdventHealth and as Senior Director at IHG Hotels Group's Orange Lake Resort, with 24 years total in the golf industry.

These are not entry-level roles. They represent decades of managing large-scale, high-standard outdoor environments for some of the most demanding clients and organisations in the hospitality and healthcare sectors.

That institutional experience is now available to residential and commercial clients through Swallowtail. When Shawn looks at a lawn or landscape, he brings the perspective of someone who has managed resort grounds and hospital campuses — not just someone who mows grass.

Shawn Boschert holds the Garden and Landscape Architect seat within his BNI chapter. As the exclusive holder of this seat, Shawn is the chapter's dedicated referral partner for anyone needing professional lawn care, landscaping design, or grounds management services.

What company does Shawn Boschert represent?

Educating Clients. Building Lasting Outdoor Spaces.

Shawn's key to success is educating his customers. In a trade where clients often do not know what they do not know about lawn health, soil, drainage, and plant selection, Shawn sees it as his professional responsibility to close that gap.

An educated client makes better decisions, gets better results, and becomes a longer-term customer. That philosophy reflects the mindset of someone who spent decades managing grounds at an institutional level — where outcomes, not just appearances, matter.

His goal for Swallowtail is clear and considered: to build a business that can eventually be passed on to somebody with the same passion. That is the ambition of someone thinking beyond transactions — someone building something of lasting value, with the right culture and standards baked in from the start.

Resort-Grade Standards. Personal Service.

If anyone in your network owns a home, manages a commercial property, or is involved in development or facilities management and needs a landscaping professional they can truly trust, Shawn Boschert is the referral to make. He is not a generalist with a lawnmower — he is a former Senior Director of Grounds with 24 years in the golf and resort industry, now applying that expertise directly to client properties through Swallowtail.

What sets Shawn apart is the combination of scale experience and personal service. He has managed grounds for resorts and hospitals; he now brings that same eye for detail and standard of care to individual clients. He educates as he works, which means clients finish each project understanding their outdoor space better than when he arrived. That builds loyalty, trust, and strong referrals in return.

Science, Nature & Precision

Outside of work, Shawn brings the same curiosity and attention to detail to his personal pursuits. His burning desire is to one day retire and travel — exploring the world with the same passion he brings to every outdoor space he manages.
