About Colby Kordas
Colby Kordas has dedicated much of his life to serving his community, not for recognition, but because he genuinely believes in making a positive difference. As the owner of both Superior Landscaping LLC and Farmington Valley Construction, Colby’s dedication to his craft is evident. However, his impact stretches far beyond his business ventures.
From a young age, Colby demonstrated a strong commitment to helping others. In middle school, he organized a fundraiser to install water wells in Africa, ensuring that less fortunate communities would have access to clean drinking water—a powerful achievement for someone so young.
In 2016, Colby’s life took a devastating turn when his best friend, Abhi, passed away. Determined to honor his friend’s memory, Colby became a passionate mental health advocate. Since then, he has launched multiple campaigns and fundraisers to raise awareness for suicide prevention and provide support to those battling mental health struggles. Whether hosting local events, organizing awareness drives, or creating safe spaces for open conversation, Colby’s advocacy has given hope to many who felt they had nowhere to turn.
Colby’s advocacy is personal, driven by a desire to ensure no one experiences the same pain and loneliness that led to his friend’s loss. His work has encouraged meaningful dialogue on mental health and continues to provide support to those who feel they have nowhere else to turn.
Since 2017, Colby has also served as a volunteer firefighter for two departments, accumulating eight years of dedicated service. Over the years, his quick actions have played a role in saving multiple lives, demonstrating his commitment to putting others before himself, even in the most critical moments.
His commitment to the community is evident in his ongoing pursuit of additional certifications, dedicating countless hours to expanding his knowledge and refining his skills. Whether it’s advancing his understanding of emergency response tactics, enhancing his expertise in life-saving procedures, or learning new techniques to improve overall safety, Colby’s drive to improve is unwavering. He believes that growth is a lifelong journey — one that requires dedication, resilience, and a willingness to step outside his comfort zone. By investing in his own development, Colby ensures he’s always prepared to step up when his community needs him most. For Colby, the motivation isn’t about earning titles or recognition — it’s about being someone his neighbors can count on in their most vulnerable moments.
Superior Landscaping: Building a Business with Heart
That same dedication to serving others is what drives Colby’s work at Superior Landscaping LLC. For Colby, landscaping isn’t just about creating beautiful outdoor spaces, it’s about helping people take pride in their properties and building lasting connections with his clients.
Whether he’s enhancing commercial properties to help local businesses thrive or ensuring homeowners have an outdoor space they can truly enjoy, Colby approaches every project with the same care and commitment he’s shown throughout his life. His focus on quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction reflects his core values — always putting others first and doing the job right.
But for Colby, it’s more than just business. He sees each job as an opportunity to give back — whether that’s by going the extra mile to ensure a customer is satisfied, assisting elderly clients with tasks outside of landscaping, or simply being someone people can trust.
Farmington Valley Construction: A Lifelong Passion for Building
Colby’s passion for construction began at a young age, growing up immersed in hands-on work and developing a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. What started as curiosity soon evolved into a lifelong dedication to building and improving spaces.
Now, as the owner of Farmington Valley Construction, Colby brings that same passion and dedication to every project he takes on. Specializing in commercial construction, his company focuses on delivering high-quality work that helps business owners improve and enhance their living spaces. Whether it’s improvements, repairs, or custom projects, Colby’s years of experience and relentless attention to detail ensure the job is done right the first time.
Through his businesses, volunteer work, and advocacy, Colby has proven that true impact isn’t about recognition — it’s about consistently showing up, lending a hand, and putting others first. His life’s work reflects a powerful truth: that compassion, hard work, and a commitment to serving others can leave a lasting mark on the world.
Experience & Expertise
Before stepping into the world of construction and property maintenance, Colby built a strong foundation in IT (Information technology). He began his career managing technical systems, leading teams of technicians, and keeping businesses across Connecticut online and operating smoothly. Working in IT taught him how to lead under pressure, solve problems quickly, and keep both people and systems moving.
Over time, Colby realized that while technology would always be a passion, it wasn’t where he felt most at home. A naturally active person who prefers working with his hands and being outdoors, he discovered that sitting behind a desk didn’t align with who he truly was and wanted to do. He wanted to build something tangible, something he could shape from the ground up and call his own.
That realization became the turning point. In 2021 he launched Superior Landscaping just before getting unexpectedly laid from from his IT job. That forced him to go all in on his ambitions, taking on Superior Landscaping full time.
Colby’s education in Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications at the New England Institute of Technology, along with his studies in Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering at the Porter and Chester Institute, gave him the technical foundation to understand how systems, both digital and human, operate efficiently.
Today, that mix of technical knowledge and real-world leadership defines how he runs every project. He’s built a career around doing things differently, taking the logic and structure of IT and combining it with the hands-on drive of a builder, problem solver, and leader.
