the story
My name is Antonio Romani. In 1951, my father, Tiburcio, started a business hand crafting and forging tools for the masonry trade, out of iron. His work was exceptional. The symbol of an arrow was etched into each piece, indicating the tool was from his hand and his shop, and that it came with a lifelong guarantee.
Today The Arrow Shop lives by a similar code. Although the work is different now, it remains personal. We expect the highest standards from ourselves and each project is infused with Arrow quality . We consider a project complete when our client is truly satisfied. Referrals are our lifeblood.
We remain a family business — one of our best assets — and take deep pride in our work. We strive to orchestrate each and every project in a socially, ethically, and responsible manner. I am proud of my son Marco, my brother Rafael, and the entire Arrow family.

We offer full professional design services. Our process begins with a meeting to discuss desires, needs, and logistics of the site.
The mechanics of grading and drainage are critical to a successful site plan and are considered at the beginning.
We draw up original plans and detailed construction documents for all aspects of the planned environment including custom structures - gazebos, pergolas, railings, fireplaces, and walls.
Plant material is recommended and then refined in the plan, based on personal tastes and maintenance needs.
With final drawings come estimated costs for all elements of site construction.
We offer full professional construction services. Our process begins with a meeting to discuss the scope of the construction and the overall time frame to completion. The mechanics of the site are critical and a plan is followed to ensure accuracy. Attention to details is crucial.
Our construction services extend to all exterior related fields. Since we do little to no subcontracting, we maintain all services in-house and offer you a "one-stop shop" for completion of your project. Our specialties reach quite far...so please don't hesitate
to ask us if we can do it...we most likely can!
Our trades include stonework, masonry, paving, woodwork, site drainage, irrigation, lighting, plants and gardens, and custom
structures.
Our humble beginnings as a custom blacksmithing company has also allowed us to cater to any special requests from anything such as custom tables and furniture to wrought iron fencing, iron trellises and garden archways.
We offer full professional maintenance services. Our staff of horticulturalists and our vast experience in the maintenance industry allows us to take on large or small accounts.
RESIDENTIAL MAINTENANCE
We offer our homeowners the option to maintain their properties on an all inclusive, monthly contract basis. Forget about hiring aborists, lawn mowers, and seperate pruning, spraying, and fertilization companies. We can do it all and you can feel comfort knowing that the same people who built your oasis can maintain it
COMMERCIAL MAINTENANCE
Similarly, we also offer large scale maintenance for corporate parks, entire subdivisions, and home associations. Our current accounts total more than 300 townhomes, condos, and single family units. We work on a 1-on-1 basis with property management companies to assure them that their properties stay in top shape, day in and day out, and to assure the homeowners that they can truly live a "maintenance-free" lifestyle.

The process seems common enough, but at Arrow we believe it should evolve beyond that. Our work is a reflection of ourselves and your desires. Let us design and build your exterior world and forget about the hassles of hiring multiple companies and contractors.
Arrow is a "one-stop shop" and no service, trade, or specialty is left behind. Let's build that outdoor kitchen, that romantic garden, or that special structure and feel comfort in the fact that we're a team with vast experience, that's dedicated to artful details and quality.
Our roots are in old world craftsmanship and we have a personal commitment to infuse our work with that special something - a personal touch inspired by your home. As we design a project, we sketch and plan that special look and feeling out of a few, simple, unifying ideas...the way my father masterfully crafted iron tools out of a few, simple pieces of wrought iron....and with this in mind, we strive for a final installation full of character and heart....the way my father created each and every one of his tools.
