Our hard-working team has been crafting beautiful landscapes, healthy plants, and innovative designs since 2004.

Jennifer studied at UVM and went on to acquire an Accounting Degree from Champlain College. She has exceptional customer service skills and a knack for numbers that come both naturally and from her several years of accounting and office administration work. Jennifer’s versatile skills have proven to be invaluable for the growth of di Stefano Landscaping since joining the team in 2011.

Jennifer handles all aspects of our financial management and human resources. She also keeps the day to day internal operations running smoothly with her extensive knowledge of the company. Her other passions include raising her and Chris’ two daughters, running marathons, and arranging flowers.

Chris di Stefano was raised in Cabot, Vermont on a large Christmas tree farm and nursery surrounded by streams, forests, meadows, and ledged hillsides that were home to countless wildlife sanctuaries and secret gardens. As a kid, Chris spent hours exploring this place and honing a deep appreciation and understanding of the natural landscape and the elements that make it so inviting. From the time he could walk he helped out at his family’s ornamental tree nursery and landscaping business, planting, watering, digging, and learning even more.

Today, Chris shares the lessons from the wild classrooms and family apprenticeships of his childhood with clients and staff to create and enhance beautiful natural spaces. He continues to build on this ingrained knowledge by keeping abreast of industry trends in design, horticulture, and stone masonry, and works hard to promote professionalism in these trades.

My interest in the field of Horticulture and Landscape Design grew from the many hours spent working with my grandmother in her extensive gardens designed by my great grandfather. This family love of gardening and design led me to Virginia Tech where I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Horticulture and a focus in Landscape Construction and Residential Design.

While at Virginia Tech, I explored many gardens up and down the East Coast, expanding my concept of how outdoor space can be both functional and beautiful. After two trips to Europe, visiting some of the most renowned gardens on earth, I settled into my career with a broader view of landscape design.

My plant knowledge, design technique and hardscape expertise are grounded in over 15 years working in the landscape industry. These experiences give me the tools necessary to provide a comprehensive design unique to each client’s site challenges, desires and goals.

I have over 25 years of experience in the heavy / civil construction industry, which has helped me gain the skills necessary in understanding how construction businesses succeed and thrive. Growing in roles starting with surveying and CAD drawing, into estimating and project management has allowed me to fully understand the keys to successful projects, safe projects and satisfied clients. I have a 4-year degree in Construction Management, and have many safety certifications including OSHA-30, Confined Space, Excavation and CPR / AED. I look forward to working with all of our landscaping clients in delivering quality projects, on time and safely.

In my spare time I enjoy golf, softball and wine tasting, spending time with my 3 daughters, and playing with my 13-year-old Lab/Coonhound mix Emma.
