Leadership ## Founded on Experience, Built on Trust Pickel Landscape Group was founded by Michael Pickel, a lifelong resident of Southern Chester County with more than 20 years of experience in the landscaping and green industry. Michael holds a degree from Penn State, a background that informs both his technical understanding of landscape systems and his commitment to continued learning and best practices. In 2007, Michael purchased a small landscape company with the intention of building something sustainable, people-focused, and locally grounded. What began as a modest operation steadily expanded through reputation rather than aggressive marketing. Over time, the company added multiple maintenance crews, dedicated project crews, a full-time landscape designer, and a project manager—creating the internal structure required to handle more complex scopes of work without sacrificing quality or accountability. ![Michael Pickel, President & Founder](/media/team/michael-pickel-portrait-new-800.webp) ### Michael Pickel President & Founder • Penn State Graduate Our Values ## The Principles That Guide Us Every project we undertake is guided by these core values, ensuring consistent excellence across all our work. ### Clarity We believe in straightforward communication and transparent processes from consultation to completion. ### Professionalism Our team maintains the highest standards of conduct, appearance, and workmanship. ### Craftsmanship Every project reflects our commitment to quality and attention to detail. ### Respect for the Land Sustainable practices guide our work, ensuring landscapes thrive for years to come.
