Patricia Beres

Founder, CEO

Patti Beres, US Army veteran, wife, and mother of four turned entrepreneur after being challenged to create awareness for more sustainable environmental practices in the landscape industry.  Patti re-purposed the skills she developed to lovingly organize her home and family to build a successful sustainable landscape business, serving over 1500 clients in southeastern WI.  Navigating uphill has been a lifelong lesson for Patti, from growing up in foster care, joining the military, overcoming dyslexia, and as a distinguished female entrepreneur in a male-dominated industry.  Her mission and mindset prove results time and again in her family life, people skills and business savvy.
