Thomas Stubbe

Founder – Garden architect

Welcome! My name is Tom Stubbe, and I’m the founder of Ripa Laeva. With a unique blend of skills and expertise, I’ve created a business that combines professional K9 training, landscaping services, and a commitment to excellence.
My experience includes training a highly skilled Belgian Malinois specializing in drug detection for substances such as cocaine, heroin, MDMA, and cannabis. Drawing from my background in martial arts, I bring discipline, focus, and situational awareness to our K9 training. These skills are invaluable in providing effective services, including drug detection, surveillance, and protection.
Beyond our K9 work, we offer high-quality landscaping services to enhance and maintain outdoor spaces. Whether you’re looking for design, maintenance, or transformation, we ensure every project is tailored to meet your needs.
At Ripa Laeva, our mission is to deliver reliable, professional, and personalized solutions. Whether you need the precision of K9 services or the creativity of landscaping, my team and I are here to help. Thank you for trusting us to serve you!
