Installation Manager

Andy joined Orchard Keepers in 2016 to lead the Installation team and be the bridge between horticultural knowledge and the necessary building knowledge that creates a lasting garden and landscape.  Andy has been working in landscaping since 6th grade when he started mowing the lawn at his family’s house for $5 a week, with services including blowing off the hardscape, hedging, and irrigation repair.  Since then Andy got a degree in Hydrology, worked in habitat restoration, ecological stormwater management, nature based mentoring of youth, had his own contractors license,  and worked in organic farming, farm operations, and facility management.   As the leader of the Installation team, Andy does not get to do much of the building on the jobsite, but the real satisfaction for him now lies with listening to people’s dreams around what they want in their garden and landscape, and then guiding them through the process to bring that to life!
