Randy Laurie is a third generation landscaper.  When Randy was 8 years old, his grandfather’s 78-acre farm in Ohio, the one he grew up on, was designated a historic landmark by the National Park Service and is known today as the McGuffey Wildlife Preserve.  By the age of 10, Randy was volunteering at his family’s garden center, Laurie's Gardening City, watering plants, creating mixed potted plants and selling Christmas trees.  Soon he was working on job sites helping with landscaping and maintenance and assisting with family’s display at the annual county fair. 

Laurie’s interest in plants continued through college, but he also studied architecture, business and computer science. After a successful career as a software engineer in San Diego, he opened Laurie’s Landscaping, a full service landscape design and contracting business in 2001.
