Cantua Outdoor Solutions is built on a foundation of honesty, hard work, and commitment to excellence. Inspired by family values, we embrace:
For Alan, landscaping isn’t just a profession, it’s a passion woven into his life’s journey. Born in La Paz, Bolivia, Alan moved to the United States at age six, bringing with him a deep appreciation for nature, hard work, and creativity—values that now shape his approach to every project.
Inspired by his grandfather, an accomplished agricultural engineer, Alan developed a fascination with outdoor spaces that blend beauty and function. His problem-solving skills and hands-on craftsmanship led him to pursue a career in landscaping and outdoor solutions — an industry he has mastered for nearly two decades—helping homeowners and businesses transform their exteriors into functional, lasting spaces.
In 2022, Alan founded Cantua Outdoor Solutions, a company dedicated to high-quality landscaping services. The name “Cantua” is more than a brand—it’s a tribute to his Bolivian roots and his wife’s Peruvian heritage, symbolized by the Cantua flower, the national bloom of Bolivia and Peru.
Under his leadership, Cantua Outdoor Solutions has earned a reputation for precision, reliability, and excellence in residential and commercial landscaping. Whether it’s stone masonry, irrigation, or large-scale excavation, Alan ensures that every project reflects the same dedication he brings to his own home.
Beyond his work, Alan is a proud father of two young boys. He finds joy in teaching them about nature, outdoor spaces, and sustainability, fostering their curiosity about the world around them. When he’s not perfecting landscapes, you’ll find him camping, golfing, and embracing the outdoors, living the very lifestyle he helps create for his clients.
As a finance and strategy expert, Marilyn has built a career dedicated to helping businesses thrive. But beyond the numbers, she brings heart, vision, and a deep appreciation for building something meaningful — values that make her an essential force behind Cantua Outdoor Solutions.
Born and raised in the U.S. with strong Peruvian roots, Marilyn’s entrepreneurial spirit was shaped by her heritage and a lifelong love for design, creative industries, and customer relationships. With over 15 years of experience in financial leadership, she has spearheaded business growth, omnichannel strategies, and operational efficiency, skills that now help shape Cantua’s success.
Marilyn’s approach ensures that Cantua Outdoor Solutions offers exceptional landscaping services, balancing craftsmanship, sustainability, and customer-first solutions. She believes that outdoor spaces are more than landscapes—they’re places that bring people together, reflect personalities, and create lasting impressions for homes and businesses alike.
As a mother of two young boys, Marilyn understands firsthand the importance of creating outdoor spaces that families and communities can enjoy. Whether it’s a peaceful backyard retreat or a welcoming commercial exterior, her vision continues to shape Cantua Outdoor Solutions as a trusted provider of quality landscaping and outdoor solutions.
Resourceful and entrepreneurial, Gabriela thrives in dynamic environments that require precision and adaptability. Born and raised in La Paz, Bolivia, she dedicated much of her career to Bolivia’s cultural and creative industries, managing a range of businesses—including a coffee shop, a musical instrument store, and a drum school—while also working as an event producer, drummer, and dancer.
Since moving to the U.S. in 2020, Gabriela has seamlessly applied her business and administrative expertise across various industries, including sports and veterinary businesses. Her passion for efficiency and customer-driven processes ensures that Cantua Outdoor Solutions runs smoothly, keeping projects on track while maintaining the company’s commitment to excellence in outdoor solutions.
