Mark Kimmerly
SENIOR LANDSCAPE DESIGNER, SALES MANAGER
Mark graduated from Ryerson University with a degree in Landscape Architecture, and also holds a degree in Urban and Environmental Studies from Brock University.
Outside the office Mark is an avid hockey fan, still awaiting his call up to the big leagues while grinding it out in an old timer’s hockey league.
Sarah Beckon
MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENTS, ACCOUNT MANAGER
Sarah began her journey in horticulture 20 years ago as a co-op student with the City Parks and Recreation Department for the city of St. Thomas. That experience led to a Horticulture diploma from the Niagara Parks Commission School of Horticulture in 2005.
A flair for Ornamental Horticulture has sparked a passion for design, and a desire to push the envelope to create stunning and unique floral displays and gardens in urban landscapes. This passion for horticulture has led to a myriad of lifelong learning, including Environmental Studies at York University, Sandler Management training, and continued floral design courses.
Outside of the office if Sarah isn’t actively bookworming she can be found in the water almost anywhere, participating in shoreline cleanups, paddleboarding, kayaking, or swimming!
Ted Hobson
DESIGNER, ESTIMATOR
Ted has always had a passion for landscape design, as well as a passion for project management and the art of seeing a project from conception through to finished product and beyond – he loves helping people realize their dream project. After graduating in 2001 with a degree in Economics from the University of Victoria, Ted started his career in business management, designing environmental management systems, with a focus on developing environmentally-friendly landscapes.
In 2004, Ted started his own landscape construction business, developing it into a successful small-sized Design & Build firm based in the Greater Toronto area, and has won awards for his designs. In addition to his successful business, Ted has also designed and built displays for Canada Blooms.
In his spare time, you can find Ted hanging off a cliff, screaming down a dirt trail on a mountain bike, sliding down snow covered slopes, or just hanging out on a patio enjoying the sun.
