The story of our former ceo
Just out of high school in 1981, Harry took a summer job as a crewman with Childs Landscape. The Company consisted of little more than 4 employees and a few run down pieces of equipment. At that time, Harry had no idea that what was to be a summer job would turn into a lifetime career. Forty two years later, Harry’s hard work and dedication to Childs Landscape resulted in huge changes. Harry transitioned from one of the few laborers to the President, CEO, and 100% stockholder of what became, one of Maryland’s most well-known and respected Landscape Contractors. Harry has always felt that hard work and team work were the keys to success. (Landscape and hard work just go together!)
He is very proud of our incredible client list, the jobs completed to date, and most of all - the team that he has helped to build around him. His hands-on approach was highly evident in the daily support that his team members received and the resulting appreciation and satisfaction from our clients. Harry’s steadfast dedication to quality goods and services was proven to be the key to Childs Landscape’s success and to our many long-term client relationships. While Harry is retired and is no longer the majority shareholder, he remains as chairman of the board and is a valuable resource to not only the staff, but the industry as a whole.
