Connecticut Lawn & Property Care,

Founder

At just 29 years old, Richard Hogen has already built a decade of experience in property management and entrepreneurship. His career began with a property management company where he quickly rose into a senior role, overseeing hundreds of properties and streamlining operations. From there, he became a partner in his father’s business, helping grow it into a thriving company before deciding to strike out on his own.

After moving to Connecticut, Richard launched Diamond Image LLC with a vision: to create a property services company that goes beyond maintenance and delivers true peace of mind for homeowners and investors. Drawing on his 10+ years of industry experience, he designed Diamond Image to provide full-service care — from landscaping and snow removal to inspections, cleanouts, and complete property management solutions.

What sets Richard apart is his proven ability to blend professional expertise with genuine care. He’s not just managing properties — he’s building trust, creating systems that protect client investments, and ensuring every property is treated with the same attention to detail as if it were his own.

Diamond Image’s rapid growth is a direct reflection of Richard’s leadership, his passion for helping people, and his relentless drive to raise the standard of property care in Connecticut.

Crew Lead

Mike has been with Diamond Image since the early days, joining just a few months after the company first opened. He spent over a year working directly under Richard as a crew member, learning firsthand how every property should be cared for and what it takes to deliver the level of quality our clients expect. That foundation shaped him into the dependable leader he is today.

As Crew Lead, Mike oversees crews on site, ensuring every job is completed to Diamond Image’s high standards and closed out in a timely manner. With his strong understanding of both hands-on property care and technology, he keeps projects organized, documented, and running smoothly from start to finish.

Beyond operations, Mike also plays a key role in client relationships. He communicates directly with clients, explaining Diamond Image’s values and vision, while making sure they feel confident their properties are in good hands. His ability to balance leadership, communication, and execution makes him an invaluable part of the company’s success.

With experience managing concrete crews, concrete installation, and junk removal, he brings a valuable skillset to our operations and ensures jobs are completed thoroughly and efficiently.

During the winter season, Joe takes on a full-time role leading our plowing and ice management operations. He makes sure parking lots, driveways, and walkways are kept safe and accessible for both residential and commercial clients. Throughout the rest of the year, Joe assists with property cleanouts, coordinating directly with clients on site and representing Diamond Image’s values and standards.

Approachable and dependable, Joe ensures that every property he touches reflects the level of care and professionalism that Diamond Image is known for.
