In 1980, Michael Jelensky’s lifelong commitment to his career began. At the age of 25, he decided to start a custom residential and full service landscape company out of Anaheim, California. When deciding on a name for his new company, he asked himself, “Why not just let the clients know that they've found the right one for the job? Eureka!”

In 1982, Michael decided to get more involved in the industry, so he joined the California Landscape Contractors Association (CLCA) and in 1989, he served as the chapter president for Orange County and Long Beach. Throughout the years to follow, the CLCA has awarded Eureka Landscape several "Beautification Awards" at their annual competition between their various partnering  landscape contractors. Eureka Landscape now holds a lifetime membership with the CLCA as recognition for their many years with the association.

Today, Michael’s talent, skill, and artistic eye continue to shine through his contemporary designs and installations. With Dane Jelensky (son) as Michael’s right-hand-man and part-owner of the company, Eureka Landscape continues to develop and grow, focusing on providing the best service possible for many years to come.
