Kairos:  The word kairos was an ancient Greek word that means “opportunity,” “season,” or “fitting time” as opposed to Chronos – the Greek word for ticktock time.

Kairos is ‘the right, critical, or opportune moment’. In modern Greek, kairos also means ‘weather’.

In other words, time flies when you’re having fun.

The pandemic hit us all pretty hard. But our company is a true success story. We were born out of unique opportunity in 2019 during the most inopportune time, taking what was learned from the excellence of the finest dining service in Orlando, and brought it back to our roots in the outdoors.

We are an unusual story. Our founder – Nick – loved to cook. But he needed to express himself in a broader way than the kitchen would allow. Always passionate about the outdoors and being raised by a Physician and Horticulturist, Nicholas Jay brings a passion for growing food and medicine – and a recently discovered passion, honey bees – and found the landscape business fulfilled that passion of  serving the customer, giving back to the community, being outdoors, and providing creative solutions to unique problems (and doing it the right way at the right time, the first time).

During his childhood, Nick was given unique opportunities to get hands on experience that was supported by his parents side businesses with heavy duty equipment in the outdoors as well as being given the opportunity to see how the local ecology can be leveraged for a harmonic balance between giving and receiving from the land as a steward of God’s creation. This, coupled with the experience of being a team player and leader from the kitchen, gave opportunity during our most inopportune time since WW2 as a global society for Nicholas Jay Enterprises to provide the Deland Community and Surrounding Area with Kairos Landscaping – Your premier landscaping team that allows you to get your kairos back.
