The Wimberg Team

Peter Wimberg - President

Peter started mowing lawns and doing a variety of gardening jobs for neighbors in the early 1970's. After obtaining a degree in Finance from Xavier University in 1984 he decided to take his already established business to the next level. After 28 plus years in both the management and sales side of the business, Peter has moved to just the management side. Peter believes that working on the business as opposed to in the business has allowed the company to better serve its clients and provide better opportunities for its employees. Learn more about Pete, his gardens and his theory on garden design, here.
