Meet Our Team
Rob Duwa is a founding member and co-owner of Duwa & Taggart LLC, where he leads the Lawn and Landscaping Division. Born and raised in Iowa City, Iowa, Rob has always had a deep passion for sports, and he remains an avid fan of the Dallas Cowboys and the Colorado Avalanche.
Rob attended Iowa City City High, where he was a standout in track and field. It was also during this time that he developed a love for music, especially classic rock. His interest in landscaping began in high school and has been a consistent passion throughout his life. Rob later earned a degree in Business Management from the University of Iowa in 2008.
After graduation, Rob spent 10 years working in warehousing at United Natural Foods Inc., where he gained valuable experience across various roles. It was during this time that Rob began mowing lawns part-time, and his commitment to landscaping as a career truly took off. In 2018, he left his job to pursue his passion full-time and started Duwa Lawn and Landscaping Services as a sole proprietor. Rob successfully ran the business for four years before teaming up with Seth Taggart to form Duwa & Taggart LLC in 2022.
Rob is deeply committed to serving his customers and giving back to the community that helped shape him. His dedication to providing high-quality landscaping services is matched only by his desire to make a positive impact in the area he calls home.
Rob currently lives in Iowa City with his wife, Darlene, and their two children, Jackson and Isla. As a family, they enjoy attending sporting events and concerts, with a special fondness for Iowa football and basketball games, where Jackson often gets the chance to see (and sometimes meet) Herky. Traveling is also a big part of their lives, both internationally and domestically, with some of their favorite destinations including Dubai, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Italy, and the Philippines. From spring to fall, Rob and his family love spending time outdoors working on their landscaping and gardens while the kids play in the yard.
Meet Our Team
Seth Taggart is the co-founder of Duwa & Taggart LLC, where he leads the Home and Handyman Division. Seth’s passion for working with his hands started at a young age, growing up in South Central Iowa. As a child, he spent countless hours in his Mom & Dad’s barn, creating woodworking projects out of scrap wood. His first sale—a hand-crafted birdhouse for $10—marked the beginning of a lifelong journey of hands-on work and creativity.
Seth’s early years in a small farming community taught him the value of hard work and resourcefulness. He gained experience in a variety of trades, from carpentry to home repairs, and carried those skills with him throughout his life. After attending Kirkwood College in Cedar Rapids, Seth transferred to the University of Iowa, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies.
Though Seth began his career in the finance world, working in Real Estate Asset Management, Business to Business Sales, and later as a Commercial Lender for a local credit union, his passion for DIY projects never wavered. He was always working with his hands in his spare time, helping friends and family with home improvements and repairs.
It was this side work that eventually led Seth to start his own handyman business, balancing it with his full-time finance career. As fate would have it, Seth’s neighbor, Rob Duwa, shared a similar passion for working outdoors, and the two realized their combined skills were a perfect fit to serve their community. Together, they co-founded Duwa & Taggart LLC, offering customers expert home repairs, remodeling, landscaping, and more.
Outside of work, Seth is married to his supportive wife and is a proud father of two children, both of whom are very active in sports. Managing the business while staying involved with his family’s busy schedule wouldn't be possible without the love and support of his wife. Raised with strong values of hard work, honesty, and faith in God, Seth’s commitment to providing exceptional service is rooted in his desire to build lasting relationships with his clients. His passion for helping others, combined with his broad skill set, makes him a trusted partner in any home or outdoor project
