Meet Declan Keane
Born in Kilnamona, Co. Clare, Ireland, Declan brings over 30 years of irrigation experience to every project. With an Agricultural Science degree from University College Dublin and a Higher Diploma in Education, he combines scientific knowledge with practical expertise.
Declan arrived in New York City on March 25th, 1988, and quickly established himself as a pioneer in bringing drip irrigation technology to NYC's unique rooftop environments. Previously operating as "Estelle Irrigation," he founded Lifesource to expand his vision of transforming urban outdoor spaces.
His deep understanding of plants, water systems, and NYC's challenging microclimates has made Lifesource the trusted choice for discerning property owners across Manhattan.
