Roots in the lawn and landscape industry
Landscape Leadership® founder and owner, Chris Heiler, began his career in the green industry over 25 years ago maintaining the grounds of a popular northern Michigan resort during his summers off.
This led to a bachelor’s degree in horticulture and landscape design from Michigan State University and a professional career spanning a range of companies including a garden center and numerous landscape design/build firms. Chris owned his own landscape design firm for eight years prior to starting Landscape Leadership® in 2008.
Chris now serves in an advisory role for our organization.
