Management and Supervisors
As Special Projects Supervisor, Mark oversees complicated large-scale outdoor projects for LPI clients, coordinating the work of contractors and subcontractors and creating customized carpentry installations. His philosophy is, "If you can dream it, we can build it; if there's a problem, we can fix it." With a B.S. from Frostburg State University and substantial experience in construction and hands-on project management of multi-trade projects, Mark's talents enable LPI to offer clients a level of workmanship and professional attention appreciated by his colleagues as well as his clients.
Prior to joining LPI in 1996, Scott Jenkins worked at American University as Assistant Director of Grounds and with another landscape company as Vice President and General Manager. Scott holds a B.A. from American University and is a Certified Landscape Technician as well as a Certified Pesticide Applicator in DC, Virginia and Maryland. At Landscape Projects, Scott works nearly full time as a plant buyer, allowing the company to find the best plant material available for our clients in a multi-state area, as far south as North Carolina or up into New Jersey on occasion! As Scott notes, LPI was "among the first of the smaller landscape installation companies to have a full-time staffer doing this" and he believes it has contributed to the company's reputation as a high-quality, high-value enterprise.
Cindy is the newest addition to the LPI office staff. She brings with her extensive experience in managerial and administrative skills from her prior positions with CTS & Associates, Inc. in Gaithersburg and several other companies. Her educational background includes studies at Prince Georges Community College and the College of Southern Maryland.
Luis Hernandez, a native of Guatemala, joined LPI over eleven years ago as a landscape installation crew member, later becoming a foreman. Now, as Landscape Installation Supervisor, he oversees the company's four installation crews, helping coordinate their work with the landscape designers and making sure the crews have the materials they need for hardscape construction as well as plant installation.
Cesar Hernandez, also a native of Guatemala, has been with LPI fourteen years. In his capacity as Maintenance Supervisor and Maintenance Contract Administrator, Cesar manages the company's four maintenance crews, overseeing both regular maintenance work and special requests for clients, such as making sure that their properties get last-minute maintenance attention before parties and other special events.
Manuel Diaz supervises plant health care services for maintenance clients, including chemical applications where appropriate. He also takes care of clients' irrigation systems on request. In 2005, Manuel became a Certified Landscape Technician after passing a series of rigorous tests administered by the MD/VA/DC Landscape Contractors Association. This program seeks to "recognize proficiency in the landscape workforce, upgrade the status of the landscape professional, and provide the public with a means of identifying qualified landscape professionals."
