Envisioning Green
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.

Lindsey takes care of most things around the office and will be the pleasant voice you hear rst when you call. She is a volunteer at Willoughby Heritage Farm in Collinsville where they teach children and adults the inner workings of a farm and nature. She also likes to sew and embroider, play with her three dogs, and take them for hikes with her husband. She is a very family oriented person and loves spending time with them. Just so you know, her favorite food is anything that involves pasta!

He also considers himself a very good cook and cooks all meals for his family. His favorite food would have to be Mexican food. He considers his wife his very best friend and met her when she was 18.

Rob
Rob, one of our Landscape Designers, has been in the industry in some capacity since 2016. He is very passionate about working with people and taking his creative side and leaning into design.

He studied Latin for seven years and Greek for five (according to him, basically, he ran with the cool kids in high school). His favorite food is Italian (and he can concoct the most righteous risotto you will ever taste).
