Business Coaching & Consulting
Envisioning Green
Envisioning Green is one of the premier landscape design/build firms in the St. Louis area. We are at the forefront of industry trends and are disrupting the way that people view companies such as ours. We want our industry to grow and thrive and to be viewed as the high-level of skills that it requires. We have gotten to this point in business due to the input and impact of consultants and now it’s our turn to do the same for other growing businesses.
To do this, we are pleased to offer one-on-one business coaching and consulting at our Design Center in Caseyville, IL. Our consulting has various levels and we will personalize the topics based on your needs. Our goal is for you to leave the 2 days of coaching with all of YOUR questions answered, not with just what we want to teach you. Once you decide to move forward with our team, we will have an initial discovery call to find out some of your specific needs and what you are wanting to get out of the 2 days of coaching.
In our experience with visiting other people’s businesses, we have found that it’s the most beneficial to meet your consultant and coach on their home turf. That’s why we offer 2 full days at our offices and Design Center.
Our Consulting can help you:
- Grow your landscape business AND increase your profitability.
- Learn proven ways to help your business run like a well-oiled machine.
- Answer the burning questions that are keeping you up at night.

Who is Envisioning Green & Why Work with us?
Steven & Erika
Steven and Erika, husband and wife duo, are putting their heads together to make sure that your space comes together exactly how you want it to. Married in March 2014, they have devoted much of their time and energy into making sure that they can do what they love, making their clients happy.
Steven started Envisioning Green (then known as Steven’s Lawn & Landscape) at the age of 12 being pulled behind his mom’s mini van with his mower to each of his clients’ houses. How far this company has come! He lives and breathes this work and couldn’t see himself doing anything else. He obtained an Associates in Science and one in Horticulture (specializing in landscape design & turf management) and since then has gone on to achieve his Concrete Paver Installer certification, his fertilization applicators license, obtained an NCMA certification, and gotten certification through the National Association of Landscape Professionals. Envisioning Green, as well as Steven, has been recognized in several publications. In his spare time, Steven likes to fly fish, volunteer in the media department at their church, and work at making their house into a home.
Erika has been a part of Envisioning Green since July 2013 but has started full time since graduating with her Bachelors in Nursing in May of 2014. She is constantly listening to webinars through the National Association of Landscape Professionals to help hone our business practices and has received her Concrete Paver Installer certification as well. Erika helps to ensure that things run smoothly.
She is also the face behind the computer screen, handling all of our social media accounts, and also designing and executing much of our marketing materials. In her spare time, Erika loves to host parties and plan events at our office, is a worship leader at their church, and play with her and Steven’s four rescue dogs.
