NEW CLIENTS: Request Lawn Assessment.
I take your lawn personally.
LOVE YOUR LAWN
I want you to love your lawn. The kind you walk on with bare feet and feel the cool grass between your toes. I want your back or front yard a place you sling a tennis ball to your Golden Retriever, toss a baseball with your kid, spread out a towel in the middle of the yard and get some sun, or spread out a blanket in the shade and get lost in a good book.
Going beyond simply cutting grass, Dr Phil Landscaping strives to create for you an outdoor space that enhances your world. I call it Landscape for Life -- spaces where you gather around a firepit on crisp fall Greenville evenings, spaces where you grill out with family and friends, spaces that speak “this is home.”
About Dr. Phil
I went to Taylors Elementary, Northwood Middle School, and Riverside High School. I swore I would spread my wings and go off to college, only to move 9 miles north to Furman University. Of all the wonderful experiences at Furman, the best was having a class my sophomore year with a student from Charlotte. Three years later, we were saying our vows at a church in the Queen City.
As a middle schooler, I would tag along with my dad, a pastor for 32 years at Taylors First Baptist Church. During the summers, I'd help mow the church’s athletic fields. Dragging a bush hog behind an old blue Ford 4240 tractor and seeing the symmetry and sense of completeness of the softball fields gave me a sense of satisfaction.
In a small way (and maybe weird to you), I see landscaping as restoring beauty that gives little echoes of Eden – the biblical promise that narrates how God will one day restore creation to what is called the New Heavens and the New Earth.
I have been a church pastor for the past quarter century, including ten years at First Presbyterian, Greenville. I slogged through degrees in theology and church ministry (if you pay tuition long enough, they will eventually give you a piece of paper) and most recently graduated from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary with a Doctor of Ministry in 2017.
I view changing my vocational direction to landscaping as simply scratching my soul’s itch that is put there by God, a way to faithfully play out the plan He put for me in the world. This orientation works itself in lawn care by simple things like treating customers with respect, doing a good job and delivering on what I communicate (and making it right if I don’t) and having integrity in how I conduct business.
My joy is that I get to be a husband to Cary and a dad to 4 incredible children. Allie is a dual-degree student pursuing Masters degrees at Duke Divinity School and UNC-Chapel Hill School of Social Work, Mia is creating beauty at Kansas City Art Institute, Lincoln is enjoying life as a Clemson Tiger, and Rosa is receiving way too much attention from mom and dad as she eyes graduating from Eastside in 2023 and joining her brother in Tiger Town.
