He started Frank Clawson Inc., a landscape contracting company, in 1960. During the 1960s and '70s, he worked with some of the Bay Area's notable architects. His work included South Bay high schools and community colleges, civic parks and many commercial developments. He retired in 1985.
Clawson volunteered his time at Sunnyview Manor Retirement Home, Our Lady of Fatima Convalescent Home and other community organizations serving the elderly and children. He was an avid golfer and fisherman who enjoyed the outdoors, camping and taking recreational vehicle trips with his family and friends.
