Shane Allen has a heart for people, a head full of horticultural and grounds maintenance knowledge, and hands ready to help. He grew up learning the trade while working in his Dad’s landscape business in Stone Mountain, Georgia, eventually managing the Grounds & Estate Management Division. Mix that with earning his Environmental Horticulture Diploma from Gwinnett Tech while taking care of the 80-acre personal estate of a high-profile Atlanta developer, and you begin to get a picture of Shane’s work ethic and experience level.

After college, Shane started his own company, Allen’s Landscape Management, providing commercial and residential landscape and irrigation design, installation and maintenance. He ultimately sold the company, but the experience and reputation led to his employment as Grounds Manager over the revitalization of Lake Lanier Islands Resort. Under his command, the grounds team designed, installed and maintained a big piece of this beautiful 1,100 acre mountain paradise, helping turn it into a premier destination in the region.

While we know him for his landscape expertise, many youth and college students in Middle Georgia know him for his care, concern and guidance as Student Pastor at his church. As an ordained minister, Shane puts his values to work and exemplifies love in action. At T.Lake, he manages grounds maintenance accounts in the southern market with care and concern for our clients and employees, shaped by a quarter century of experience and education. At the end of the day, he enjoys life on the family farm with his wife, daughter and faithful dogs Jake and Abbie.
