Greg Powell
Greg’s career in high-end residential landscaping has spanned over three decades including a degree in Landscape Contracting from Penn State, many award-winning projects and a very successful business. With north of 30 years of experience, he’s mastered all aspects of design, construction and management and requires a very high standard of detail from his staff and support contractors. Greg’s attitude toward new projects and challenging scopes has contributed to a diversified portfolio of amazing outdoor living environments being enjoyed by many families in the Washington, D.C. area. Greg operates under the mantra that his clients deserve his “no fear” approach to their design challenges and works diligently to provide solutions that exceed their expectations. He is also very proud of his projects and likes to revisit them in future years to see how they are growing and being utilized.
Greg and his business partner Dave Klonicke grew up together in the Philadelphia area and always hoped to have a landscape company together. With Greg’s design skills and Dave’s operational talent, it was inevitable that the dream would become reality and they’re both ecstatic to see the company that it’s grown into today.
Outside the office, Greg and his wife enjoy a full life with three beautiful children and the typical busy calendar of a young family in Northern Virginia. He leads a team of parents in the design and construction of sets for his son’s drama productions, coaches travel baseball, and tries to find time for his true passion – fly fishing. Living in Western Loudoun, Greg and his wife are avid wine enthusiasts and have enjoyed the growing Virginia wine scene.
Dave Klonicke
Dave’s landscape experience also spans three decades, but with a focus on project management and operational success. He has a degree from Penn State in Earth Science. Fulfillment in the landscape trade is what drives Dave’s daily goal of moving his projects forward in a timely manner while respecting every client’s privacy and frustration of working through a diverse construction project. Dave’s expertise is unmatched in areas of general construction, hardscapes, masonry, softscapes, lighting, irrigation, carpentry and swimming pool construction. He truly understands how client interaction and communication during the project changes how the final product is enhanced.
Dave and Greg share many similarities on the personal side. Dave and his wife also have three wonderful children that keep them busy and their calendars full of sporting and school events. Dave is also an experienced fly fisherman and looks forward to future experiences on the river with his family and friends.
